Bird charity locked out of Twitter after woodcock tweets
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-64451977
Still waiting for a comment from twitter but Musk apparently said this is ironic.
Hmm, so twitter allows racist and anti Semites on but post about a bird and you get this..

I guess that's your opinion Kemi but I *know* I don't fundamentally misunderstand America when I use that language and will continue to do so.
It creates a cognitive dissonance that #ChristoFascists and #TheocraticNationalists have to reconcile.
The Taliban and their oppressive nature which is based in religious fervor is something the #ReichWing has railed about for decades. So to use #ChristianSharia or #USTaliban makes it to where they MUST face this hypocrisy.

I am officially deceased after reading this Wall Street deli owner's response to the question of whether he asks his customers for stock tips:

Today, the US #NLRB issued a finding of merit in two of my charges against #Apple. The NLRB agreed with my claim that Apple's NDAs & employee policies are unlawfully restrictive & chilling to the point of violating federal labor law
The best part of this is that these charges are about Apple's employee policies & statements made to workers nationally. Apple's remedy will also need to be national. All the hell the last two years is worth it for this. Let us be free. 🕊️ 💙

It's starting to crack. This is clearly what Santos' meeting with McCarthy was about yesterday.
Now get him to resign.

This CNBC story about threats to freedom of speech on the Internet is like almost every other Big Journalism piece -- it treats Section 230 as something protecting only "big tech" while ignoring the truth, that it protects all of us. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/30/the-supreme-court-could-change-free-speech-on-the-internet.html
Traditional media are eager to see the end of Section 230, and coverage has been skewed this way for years. Dishonest journalism on this topic is the rule, not the exception.

If you are still using Twitter, do not -- DO NOT -- use direct messages for anything you consider sensitive in any way. This goes triple for the journalists who insist on pouring their work into a site whose sociopath CEO has utter contempt for the press.

I often get the sense that quite a few people do not actually know what I write about and instead make assumptions about what I must write about based on another set of assumptions about who I must be.
But, if you ask me, I write about democracy, and this column — about the near-total absence of accountability for American police departments — is very much about democracy.

Instead of working to lower costs for everyday Americans, extremist politicians are trying to make it easier for billionaires and big corporations to avoid paying the taxes they owe.

Exactly 83 years ago today the first Social Security checks went out.
Republicans are now threatening to collapse the entire economy unless they’re allowed to destroy Social Security.

Hard to square the "China will use TikTok to turn American teens into Xi Jinping lovers" theory popular in Washington with the reality that one of China’s most prolific influence operations was so spammy, low-quality and weird that it "achieved practically no organic engagement from real viewers"

U.S. border officials copy the contents of up to 10,000 phones and computers every year and save them to a big database for 15 years, as we first reported in September: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2022/09/15/government-surveillance-database-dhs/
Following pressure from Sen. Wyden, the agency, CBP, now says it's considering shrinking that 15-year save time and plans to give people more details about what they're doing: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/31/abraham-accords-expand-with-cybersecurity-collaboration/

Ella Irwin also explicitly directed Twitter to ban journalists like me. The fact that she has used her access to people's private messages should be a wake-up call to everyone on Twitter, especially journalists; how can you protect sources in a place like that?

"We’ve confirmed that Irwin has access to user DMs as part of her position. Given the way the company has handled the Twitter Files, multiple former employees told us that DMs are no longer secure, and have discouraged us from using them for any remotely sensitive communication."

NEW: #GeorgeSantos once had a Facebook post that appears to salute Hitler while mentioning “the Jews and blacks.”
George Santos trafficked in Antisemitism before pretending to be Jew-ish.
RESIGN!
