So many people opted out of the sneaky landgrab of users' rights, that Xitter have now decided to post new T&C with it all baked in:
xitter.cf/en/tos
So it's time for us to stop posting here. We get a lot more replies and shares on Mastodon anyway:

Just created a new profile on Mastodon. Anybody following us here who's also on there should follow us there instead. You're much more likely to see our posts there, without the Twitter/X algorithm picking and choosing what you see and what you don't.

"Now that @realDonaldTrump is headed back to the White House, with @ElonMusk in tow, there is not even a pretense of hope on that platform for anyone who voted against Trump. It’s better late than never, but it’s well and truly time to cut @X loose."

"Now is the time to abandon @X. As citizens come to terms with a declared antidemocratic US president, propped up by the misinformation and hate speech of @ElonMusk, no one who believes in the rule of law can justify remaining on this platform."

“If they protest in a way that gets noticed, they go to jail” - @mrjamesob cuts through with clarity & truth.
Complicity in the politics of “don’t look up” is hastening ever greater #climate breakdown - we can’t say we didn’t know
"I understand why you're doing it but for heaven's sake...
...and then you see the scenes in Spain."
It's a relief to see @mrjamesob connecting the dots. So few journalists are. Direct action from ordinary people is needed more than ever to force those in power to act.

Amsterdam defies the ban on protest. We say no to zionist thugs, no to weaponising antisemitism, no to genocide
Police State UK retweeted
🚨‼️MUST WATCH and SHARE before Elon Musk bans it:
Since US media won’t tell you, UK activists, Led By Donkeys, dropped this video on how Elon Musk and his use of X helped get Donald Trump elected.

The first Remembrance Day since Israel killed 3 British Veterans in a precision strike, while they were delivering food to starving children.
Remember John Chapman, James Kirby and James Henderson, and think of their families who deserve justice.
They want you to forget them.

A Dutch teenage journalist has gone viral after his coverage of the clashes in Amsterdam for the page "Bender" has gained critical acclaim.
He documents the Maccabi Tel Aviv hooligans carrying wooden planks and poles, running in packs across this city earlier this week.
He also gets instructed by one of the hooligans to 'stop filming for his own safety'.

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese once again nails it:
•It is not a ‘war’, there are not two armies;
•This is a settler, colonial occupation;
•It is a genocide and needs to end now.
Stop arming Israel 🇮🇱 today
Recognise Palestine 🇵🇸 before it’s too late.

👁️UK police forces have been relentlessly deploying Orwellian live facial recognition on our high streets.
We spoke with people in #Peckham to find out if they like being turned into walking ID cards.
We must #StopFacialRecognition now.

How Musk broke Twitter and helped elect Trump

"Let go of any illusions you still harbour that the prosperity of the world’s richest people depends on a thriving economy. If anything, the oligarchs stand to do better when the economy (and the country) go to hell."

Labour have just lost control of Newcastle City Council, with 6 councillors resigning and becoming independents. I expect more will follow. I'll be supporting a progressive alliance in the next elections.

Bernie hits the nail on its head.
The elite liberals offer nothing other than to destroy socialist agendas.
People then without hope driven to the narrative of Trump 🇺🇸
Or Reform 🇬🇧
Starmer is Biden:
An elite establishment liberal who will ultimately help the hard right.
