Well somehow I haven't been banned as of yet (maybe I'm being too nice 🙃) so I'll take this opportunity to drop this here. Screenshot since Twitter is apparently not allowing links to it.
Holy shit, linktrees are also blocked. This will affect content creators like crazy.
So many orgs, creators, etc need a place where you can access all of our work easily.
This is so shitty. https://twitter.com/TwitterSupport/status/1604531261791522817…
Holy Shit. Elon Musk just popped into a Twitter Spaces chat with a bunch of journalists. He was called out by journalist Drew Harrell, who he banned, for lying about posting links to his private information, then leaves almost immediately after being pressed. Here is the exchange
The alphabetized list has been taken down by mass reporting. Here it is again:

Thanks again
all i can say is that if i ever happen to be unlucky in time and place i do not want to be "remembered" with a candle
i want a bonfire, i want arson, i want the very foundations of the mansions the bigots who monster me and my kind to burn and warp; i want the ashes salted.
Friday tomorrow. All profit will be donated to the National Network of Abortion Funds. We'll be adding a few special items to the store as well. The fundraiser will start at 12am PT. 👀
As much as we talk shit about Twitter, it really is a space where people have been able to organize and build community and push the discourse around things like prison abolition and climate justice so... idk... maybe tanking it is the point?
The Strike Authorization Ballot is closed. With a 96% participation rate & 99% of pilots voting in favor to strike, the #DeltaPilots have made a powerful statement to
IMPORTANT: Bolsonaro’s most powerful ally in congress, equivalent to House Speaker in US, says “the will of the majority expressed at the ballot box should never be contested.” Clear message to Bolsonaro and a plea for a smooth transition to Lula
Arthur Lira, aliado de Jair Bolsonaro, diz que vontade da maioria manifestada nas urnas jamais deverá ser contestada. Parabeniza Lula e diz ser necessário ouvir voz de todos, mesmo divergentes. “É hora de desarmar os espíritos, estender a mão aos adversários, debater.” Leia
Tell me again how this isn't fascism? The state of Israel is literally doing to Palestinians what Hitler did to the Jews. It's unquestionable. It's blatant.
The worst part is how the rest of the world either stands by or actively aids them in their terror.
The Florida Medical Board is floating the idea of creating a registry for trans people in Florida. Nothing good happens when the state starts creating a list of LGBTQ people.
Find it interesting there are no randomized trials for gender-affirming care because institutional review boards consistently find it would be unethical and dangerous to deny it to a placebo group--you know, the very thing Florida is about to do to 16,000 young people.
I know shit is dire with Twitter and for a lot of people it's no big deal or even a joke but please remember there are people here who have nowhere else to go. People who built a community they don't otherwise have. And we're not really laughing. Some of us are genuinely scared.
Elon Musk now owns Twitter.
Trump owns Truth Social.
Zuckerberg controls Facebook & Instagram.
Bezos owns the Washington Post.
Kayne wants to own Parler.
Billionaires are buying our elections.
It's not a win for free speech or democracy.
It’s a win for the billionaires.
We're off to quite a start with groyper Nazi trolls feeling explicitly emboldened by Elon to threaten murder and use racist, anti Semitic, and homophobic slurs.
I'm sure the advertisers are going to love having their ads next to this.
I am begging you, if you live in Florida and have ANY ability to, get to the Board of Medicine meeting in the Hyatt Regency Orlando at 8AM (arrive 30min early or more) tomorrow October 28.
They are going to try to forcibly medically detransition all trans teens in Florida.
Again, “the free market” is not real. Both industry & economic policy are driven by the profit motives of the ruling elite & not by the genuine demands of the public. The public wants things that aren’t produced, are forced to buy things they shouldn’t have to or don’t want, etc.
Dems on every major issue two months after winning: "It's not a priority/We don't have the votes/Now's not the time/We can't afford it/We need to take the high road and move on."
Damn why don't people want to vote for them I don't get it.
I don’t know how to forgive tens of millions of Americans for voting to get lower gas prices—from a political party with no plan to lower gas prices—instead of voting to protect America from authoritarianism, end a genocide in Europe, protect women’s rights, and jail seditionists
Most deliberately misleading tweet of the election season. Lula's election year conviction, which was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct, was for "indeterminate acts of corruption". WAPO invents "money laundering" as a smear and omits Lula's innocence.
