Eight days ago I lamented that Pennsylvania's timeline to fix the destroyed I-95 overpass was measured in months. This afternoon, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced it will be open again this weekend. The state has maintained a popular livestream of the repairs, which the governor uses to monitor progress. This is a great example of government doing the work and doing it right. Very impressive! inquirer.com/news/95-live-cam-

Look at Elon Musk’s Twitter

Platforming actual Nazis, while silencing legitimate journalists

Attacks on the trans community intensify

Cis and cisgender are now slurs on Twitter and using them will result in a ban

But harassment of trans people results in a platform boost

Because free speech.

…If you are still on Twitter, you are not just part of the problem: you are funding the problem

We've been on Twitter for over ten years now. This account has been on #Mastodon for close to two months.

I've seen more engagement in those two months (hell, even just this past week) than I have in all of those ten years on Twitter.

Rep. Eric Swalwell remarks on the project undertaken by congressional Republicans to try to project as much criminality on President Biden as possible to make Donald Trump's legal problems less alarming by comparison, and the stubborn factual reality that keeps making them look foolish in that endeavor.
