No matter how many shitty hacks they try, X’s growth will stay limp because its user experience sucks and it’s now more useless than ever — it never was that good to start with — as a marketing platform. It is the same main reason Tesla car sales are off — no new innovation or product improvement.

These New York State updates on global outbreaks include links from several sources, including @who.int. Conversely, a recent U.S. CDC Health advisory about an ongoing Ebola outbreak omitted a link to resources from @who.int, one of the leading response agencies, unlike in previous years.

Elon Musk’s staffers have gained unauthorized access to sensitive government employee data by installing a server at the OPM. They now have access to USAJOBS, the federal hiring portal where applicants submit personal details such as Social Security numbers, home addresses, and employment histories.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

I'd like to see a lawsuit specifically from the 18-year-olds who are deprived of their right to make decisions about their care as legal adults.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

After this week's (continued) assault on everything not-MAGA, I'm revisiting Bruce Levine's "Resisting Illegitimate Authority" @akpress.org. Even though Trump was lawfully elected, his actions prove that that he and his government are an illegitimate authority. What is that and what to do? 🧵1/9
