The Twitter experience, from timeline (For you vs Following) to the @ mentions, the whole thing is a nightmare now. Hard to find things/people. Certain people I haven't heard from for ages. Awful experience. Thanks Elon!

Would you believe that egg prices are higher because a giant company decided they could make more profit by raising prices and blaming "bird flu" and "inflation" rather than anything to do with bird flu or anything else

Fight Corporate Monopolies
@fightmonopolies
Monopolies are destroying our economy and our democracy — they shouldn’t be anywhere near the Democratic Party infrastructure.

Some 40 people were laid off at NGP VAN earlier this month, <2yrs after a private equity firm took over. “The question no one is asking in the Democratic community is: Is private equity the best place for this data” Story here: theintercept.com/2023/01/24/lay

NEW: I wrote last year about why some Dem strategists were concerned that a private equity firm was taking over the party’s campaign tech apparatus. Today, the new parent company of NGP VAN announced layoffs of 10% of the company, 140 people

WHAT IS COP CITY? Atlanta police are trying to tear down forest land to take 350 ACRES of land to build a mock city of Atlanta on top of a former slave plantation and prison farm. The police want this mock city to test out urban warfare. Last week they killed a protestor

I'm heartbroken for the lives stolen in Monterey Park following Lunar New Year festivities. Standing in solidarity with our AAPI siblings during what should be moment of joy & celebration, not pain & fear. We must end this cycle of trauma and end gun violence once and for all.

No greater proof of the problem with policing and that we live in a police state than having police officers shooting and killing protestors because they want to create a Cop City where they can “practice being police”

There’s so much to be furious and outraged about the murder or Karon Blake. However the DC politicians praising the the shooter basically saying this CHILD got what he deserved is particularly grotesque. Looking at you @CMYMA

Karon Blake, 13, was shot & killed by a NE man who tells police he saw him breaking into cars early Sat. Tonight Karon’s school shared photos of him, describing him as a quiet & inquisitive 6th grader who loved football & fashion. Police have not yet id’d or charged shooter. 1/2

Kevin McCarthy also voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election…so not really any daylight between him and the people who voted against him 14 times for Speaker. nytimes.com/interactive/20

So all it took for Kevin McCarthy to become Speaker was to concede massive power to the people who tried to overthrow the US government on the fucking anniversary of the day it happened.
