In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

If @mcuban.bsky.social is down, I would do this in a heartbeat. One hour per night, all facts, no bias, nothing but the unvarnished truth. (Yes this is me shooting my shot)
@mcuban.bsky.social can you start a news channel on cable television, and have Aaron Parnas as one of the main journalist? It’s time we get a truthful news program for people wanting truth.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?
