Look at my cat.

Dorothy the cat luxuriates upon two blankets, one of which is Halloween themed, both of which are draped across the back of a couch. She is dappled in sunlight and thinks ALT text is dumb.

Another lesson in real world jawboning. DOJ pressures one company (Apple) into compliance. The next company (Google) also complies with no direct DOJ contact at all.

The company whose Maps app tells me where the highway patrol is (thx!) won't let scared and vulnerable people share ICE location.

So, the first part of this is plainly false, both historically and currently. I don’t think it’s a good thing in most cases…but it’s plainly the case that pressuring the people in charge of moderation to either ban (or not ban) people works *All The Time*. It is why people do it!

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

To be clear, Comey did not make the quoted statement on 9/30/20. He made it on 5/3/17, far beyond the statute of limitations. He reaffirmed it on 9/30/20 but the indictment is incorrect on its face.

Charlie Kirk received death threats over the past year and had been traveling with a security team. In an interview, his wife, Erika Kirk, said she had implored him to start wearing a bulletproof vest. But she said she sees divine work in his death. “I’m a strong believer that this was God’s plan.”

This is it.

Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans.

Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.
