The case for X being a 1A state actor now is at least colorable. It is controlled by a government official, who uses it for government business, with no real boundary in practice between the government and his private interest in it. It is little different from if a .gov website allowed comments.

Hm I’m reminded of this speech I heard this woman give in August in which she warned us that tyrants & dictators around the world were rooting for Trump to win because of how easily manipulable he is

Zelensky is fighting for freedom. The only thing Trump has ever fought for is himself.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Ignore the media headlines reporting that freezing federal spending or shuttering federal agencies “raise questions” or “push boundaries.” It’s an anticonstitutional lawbreaking spree.

also I can’t believe it’s called DOGE, we’ve normalized so much but it would be like if a gigantic historic thing bringing about constitutional crises were called like “You Done Goofed Institute of Cash Me Outside.”

The history of Illinois has always been shaped by Black Illinoisans. It's why in 1865, we led the nation on this day as the first state to ratify the 13th Amendment. And now, we're forging a path for the future that recognizes our past and builds a better world for all.

Trump tried to defund Medicaid, food pantries, senior centers and police, so they could pay for tax cuts for billionaires like Elon Musk. We stopped them. Democrats are fighting for YOU. To keep you safe—with a good-paying job, affordable groceries, and quality health care. They're not.

I am begging the national media to start taking this seriously. Stop buying the claims that the framing of "temporary" or "pause." They are altering the review processes of federally funded scientific research from merit-based peer review processes to political screening by ideologues.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

I fear that every white dude who’s excited for Trump 2.0 bc now he gets to “say whatever I want” is going to be disappointed. Idk how to say this, guys: you don’t want to be allowed to say whatever you want. You want women to like you regardless of what you say. And Trump can’t help you with that.

You know, besides all the authoritarianism and BS, I was really hoping I wouldn't have to see pics of TFG nonstop again for 4 years. Now I have to endure looking at Elonia every time I check the news? How much more do they expect us to bare?

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in. Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world. People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks. This reality has not set in yet.
