Hey I searched for Election Integrity and the account doesn't show up. With one week to go, this is unacceptable!!

More screen shots of Twitter jail for Election Integrity. I promise: these are SEPARATE shots of blocked tweets. All because we want to promote honest elections. Elon: Please free us!

Justice Jackson and her liberal colleagues could end legacy based admissions in law school tomorrow by refusing to hire clerks from schools that use them. But they don’t want that. They want to rewrite the Constitution.

To be frank when I saw the headline I assumed it was about either the Ukraine or California.

How is Russia running short of weapons? They are supposedly the second largest arms exporter on the planet. Nothing says you’re a chintzy cut rate economy than having to buy weapons from Iran.

So are Tesla employees allowed to tell Twitter employees to "learn to code" without bias? Or will they get put in Twitter jail?

4/ And I want a platform that "knows it when it sees it" re crossing line & sees it even-handedly no matter if someone is attacking me or Whoopie. I'd wager that 99% of conservatives want same thing, and at most there are 1% of genuine "right-wing nut jobs"...likely 1/100th

3/ I also want platform to counter where others who want a variety of viewpoints can learn. Yeah, it's fun to mock silliness on Left, i.e. "men can get pregnant," and I want to be able to say that without getting silenced.

2/ And why do I prefer Twitter to Truth Social? Because I want a variety of viewpoint & Left refuses to post (for most part) at Truth Social. Variety of viewpoints allows me to ensure I am correct; see flaws in argument; know what needs countering.

THREAD: Read entire thread, but here is "key" tweet. He doesn't define "right-wing-nut-jobs," but his thread suggests he thinks it is anyone who is conservative & disagrees w/ Twitter's viewpoint discrimination. In other words, I think he'd say that's me. So what do I want? 1/

Right-wing-nut-jobs don’t just want a place where they can rant, abuse and say whatever words they want. If they did, they’d be quite content with Gab, Parler, Truth Social, some bits of 4Chan, Reddit etc. See, they’ve got plenty of spaces. 5/10

This is some of the most important reporting of the year, on the very close relationship of the most powerful centers of state and corporate power to control the flow of information on the internet. It should headline every show and - even though it kills them - be in NYT & WPost twitter.com/lhfang/status/…

Fox affiliate in SF retracts report that Pelosi and the suspect were found in their underwear. NBC News retracts report there were 3 people in the house. Politico retracts a third party opened the door to let cops in. Now the media calls us names for BELIEVING them. 😂

OMgosh… the oil industry wants to invest in America by drilling to bring down prices, but to Biden invest in America means to give free money to people or in the case of gas, subsidized gas.
Quote Tweet
The oil industry has a choice. Either invest in America by lowering prices for consumers at the pump and increasing production and refining capacity. Or pay a higher tax on your excessive profits and face other restrictions.

Here’s the story by the way. It shows that people at the highest levels of government work to shape what citizens see and hear on social media. Some people are unbothered by this but what if your political opponents controlled this apparatus instead? theintercept.com/2022/10/31/soc
