Harper, a case out of North Carolina that gives the Court the opportunity to consider the fringe independent state legislature (ISL) theory.

One of my favorite Twitter accounts was always Matthew Christopher's Abandoned America. Matthew closed up shop on Twitter and moved to Mastodon as @AbandonedAmerica. You should follow and support his work not only because we need more mid-size original content accounts here, but because his photos are FANTASTIC.

Iran has abolished its morality police after months of protests set off by the death of Mahsa Amini, a young woman who was arrested over the strict Islamic dress code. Hope this leads to significant change—we’ll have to wait and see!

Apologies to the many brilliant folks left off this week.

My team at work just launched new research on the #TwitterMigration: We analyze which platforms are growing - especially #Mastodon, #Tumblr & #Post.

We look at which sites users are adding to their Twitter bios, posting to their friends about & downloading apps for.

Please do boost this, and love to hear any comments or feedback on it!

For everybody’s convenience, here is Biden’s statement, made on the bird site this morning, but without even a screenshot from there.

As Irving Kristol might have said, “A content moderator is a free speech absolutist mugged by a Nazi”

I’m back to remind you that the Islamic Regime is still murdering civilians. They are committing real crimes on real people right now. It’s not just words on a screen, they are ruining real lives. Please speak up and speak out! ‪#iran‬ ‪#freeiran‬ ‪#IranProrests‬ ‪#iranrevolt‬ ‪#iranrevoution‬ ‪#FreeIran2022‬

Twitter has reversed a 10-year old suspension of neo-nazi Andrew Anglin (Daily Stormer editor). I really hope either Mastodon or another Twitter substitute can flourish because I don't think anyone should be on the bird site now.
