Musk and his minions have reinstated the account of one of the nation's most prominent bigots. This is not remotely surprising to anyone who's paying the slightest attention.
I remain surprised, and disappointed, that so many people in the journalism world still choose to use that platform -- knowing that they are supporting people who want to see the U.S. become a right-wing dictatorship.
Journalism has options, but most journalists ignore them.
Every day that passes without an apology from the New York Times for its atrocious 2016 campaign coverage -- and a meaningful description of how it will do better -- is evidence that the "Paper of Record" remains broken in one of its most important functions. There is a fundamental arrogance to the institution, and a relentless insistence on business as usual in political coverage.
If and when democracy falls, the New York Times will have been complicit.

In case anyone is still wondering, yes, there are going to be classified documents found in various locations for all living former US Presidents and Vice-Presidents, at least.
Gov't principals have TS doc teams they travel with, portable SCIFs, etc. Humans will make mistakes.
But we will find only one of them intentionally took, kept, and lied about TS docs and Presidential records. Only one will be at the center of a decades long hub and spoke conspiracy that fits like a glove.
James Comey's letter 10 days before the election about resuming the investigation of Hillary's emails threw the presidency to Trump.
Comey never accused Hillary Clinton of being uncooperative, hiding emails, or refusing to turn documents over. He called her "extremely careless."

All I can say is that companies that use Twitter to boost their brand or connect to customers should really start thinking about the company they're keeping. If your company is okay with offending every one of your customers or potential customers that are not straight white male fascists, then that's your choice, but such companies ought to be called out.
Also why do so many big sites still have a twitter badge or link on their site but no equivalent Mastodon one? If you must have a Twitter link, maybe you should be using a turd icon rather than a bird icon, it is more representative of what Twitter is becoming under the MuskRat's ownership.
