And with normalization of corruption + vacuum of accountability, misinformation is easier to spread—also easier to monetize on FB & Google.

Without local news, cannot keep check on what's going wrong. Without accountability, powerful lean towards corruption and impunity.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is difficult. If you have even slightly decent local newspaper, gotta subscribe *and* engage and demand better.https://twitter.com/alienghic/status/867789198010441728 …

Also often true. In any case, national reporters cannot do what we need at local level: day-to-day accountability.https://twitter.com/knowtheory/status/867784873733308416 …

Wrote up thread on local news and Montana to FB (because, heh). (Why doesn't Twitter allow click-to-expand posts?

You mean longform posts (> 140 chars) that are just condensed in the home timeline?

You can see 140 characters, your timeline looks the same there is a "click to expand" button, you can see 500 more. Perfect.

This, plus the way Twitter ignored messaging for so long when DMs were so powerful, are things I'll never understand aren't done.

(I'd also like it if Twitter went to a reasonable length: 200-250 characters; one link for free, etc. Would preserve everything good
