Musk's autocratic and arbitrary rule over this site is a particular threat to independent journalists.
About half of the current subscribers to my newsletter, which is how I support myself, found out about it through Twitter

I've spent almost 15 years building up a network on this platform of people who care about accountability journalism.
A lot of my reporting scrutinizes billionaires like Musk and the politicians, like Ron DeSantis, that he favors
I just completed my 6th term #Ungrading and I have to confess it was the hardest and most contentious. Two key takeaways.
1) Ungrading with a focus on student equity, agency, and learning is a continuously evolving and requires continuous refinement. I think back to traditional grading policies and how easy (yet arbitrary) it was to decide how many points and what structures were accepted for things (i.e. homework policies, test grade % etc..)
2) as I prepare for the next cohort of students and next iteration, I am refining contract grading and being more transparent with course expectations, students' own goals and the activities and tasks in the course designed to meet the learning goals. It has taken much longer than I expected and a great deal of feedback from our entire team to revise this document, and which reflect the required thoughtfulness and reflection needed to progress in ungrading.
Attaching the current iteration of the doc, grade justification will be based on this. Feedback and thoughts always appreciated

This is the most accurate characterization and narrative of Musk I have seen. A worthwhile read, and much appreciated.

A must-read on @elonmusk@twitter.com from Linette Lopez, one of the journalists that Musk has suspended from Twitter.
She has covered his business activities with a critical eye for years.

Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.
How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).
And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

I keep seeing that “first they came for the journalists” sign, and it pisses me off so much, because when they came for muslims, immigrants, and trans people, mainstream journalists normalized it and reported it as “both sides”. Somehow it didn’t count for them until it was happening to them personally, which is *exactly* what the fucking poem was warning against in the first place.

You always have time to show kindness to a child: six year old Madeline wrote to Los Angeles animal control seeking permission to keep a unicorn as a pet if she could find one. They responded, granting her request, outlining proper care, and issuing her a custom unicorn license. #edutooter #education

CNN, WaPo, NYT journalists' accounts were restored. The Intercept and independent journalists were not. We've gotten the worst of it all: the criticism of being the “mainstream media” but without the backing or protection of being the “mainstream media.”

Anyone else struggling to get in the "holiday spirit" because of all the awful stuff that has gone on and/or continued this year?
I'm just hoping 2023 is better for a lot of people.
