Purging critical journalists is an attack on free expression. The First Amendment protects Musk’s right to do this even if it’s a terrible decision.
Twitter should reinstate these accounts immediately.
Quote Tweet
Journalists who cover Elon Musk have been suspended on Twitter tonight: @Donie O'Sullivan from CNN, Aaron Rupar and the Washington Post's @drewharwell.
Rupar tells me he has "no idea" why it happened.

The Senate report found abuse at two-thirds of federal women's prisons.
This is unacceptable.
We need accountability for these violations, healing for the survivors, and serious changes to eliminate these abuses in the future.

Strict voter ID laws exclude millions of Americans without a qualifying ID from the polls.
Politicians should be making it easier and more accessible to vote — not harder.
Quote Tweet
If signed into law, HB 458 will radically alter the way in which Ohioans cast their ballot. This photo ID requirement for voting will be one of the strictest in the country. It must be stopped.
We urge @GovMikeDeWine to veto this bill.

Yesterday, with the stroke of a pen, Governor Brown commuted Oregon's death row, sparing 17 people from execution by the state.
Clemency provides governors the power to embrace redemption instead of retribution. They must use this power.

President Biden has repeatedly voiced his commitment to protecting the fundamental right to seek safety in the US.
Reviving a Trump-era ban that cuts off life-saving access to asylum for all migrants not from Mexico would do the opposite.

Clemency is a powerful tool governors can use to correct injustices of the criminal legal system.
Everyone deserves a true second chance.

ALL abortion bans are harmful because they keep us from freely and safely accessing the care we need.
No matter what your reason for getting an abortion is, it is the right reason.

Companies like McDonalds should not be able to dodge responsibility for labor law violations.

In Moore v. Harper, the Supreme Court has the chance to reject radicalism and reaffirm the fairness of our elections and the power of our state constitutions.
