It's been a great 13 years, Twitter. Or, it was a good 2011-2022. Time to shut this down, and time to start working overtime to challenge the oligarchy, the fascism, the Elon Musks and Donald Trumps, and the bigotry. See you all on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/nzorach.bsk…

Notice how quick the FBI and DOJ opened an investigation into Comey over a damn social media post but there's still no investigation of Signalgate.

Hi Anthony! I agree, we should support US manufacturing jobs. I see you're the CEO of Sticker Mule and your $20 t-shirts are made in Nicaragua. As you know, cheap imports make it hard for US factories. Would you be interested in supporting US manufacturers? I can help for a fee.
Democrats train their supporters to openly wish for the destruction of American Manufacturing jobs.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Additional context: Anthony is CEO of Sticker Mule, which produces t-shirts in Nicaragua. This may contribute to the destruction of US manufacturing jobs. x.com/dieworkwear/st…

Red, red Indiana is out en masse protesting Trump administration. There are well over 20 protests in Indiana - most in places that overwhelmingly voted for Trump. #HandsOff #50501Protest #ProtectDemocracy

kinda crazy coming from a guy who is literally destroying the country for personal profit
Encouraging destruction of Teslas throughout the country is extreme domestic terrorism!!

Getting publicly owned this hard might well convince Elon Musk of the potential of communism.
.@ElonMusk I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies.

where is Luigi when you need him
Consistent with President @realDonaldTrump’s instructions, all federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation.

A union member voting for the anti-union party is always a fascinating scenario.
.@KraesePhillip of Huntington, Long Island, attended the Trump rally alongside his girlfriend Christie Uvaydov. He felt it was important to wear his Steamfittera union gear because the local has endorsed Trump and he wants to show members are not aligned with the pro- Harris international union.

Crazy that they can't fill a space in a city their campaign has consistently just vilified
JD Vance has taken the stage in a shed at Eastern Market. He has thanked Lisa McClain and Pete Hoekstra for being here.

A group of #Detroit business leaders took out a full page ad in today’s @freep about Detroit’s “comeback” after ex-President Donald Trump has been dissing the city and saying there’s been no “real comeback.” This letter does not mention Trump by name or say what prompted it.

Getting pretty fucking tired of these car drivers slowing down traffic.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The bicyclist is violating several laws in the video: MS § 169.18: vehicles must stay in a single lane MS § 169.222: bicyclists are subject to the same ordinary traffic laws as other vehicles Lane splitting will be legalized in Minnesota in 2025. cbsnews.com/minnesota/news… youtu.be/qVeOuEaOE_0?si…

Fun fact: a judge on the Fifth Circuit once argued that we should have no restrictions on corporate money in politics, because, he said, that's the price we have to pay in exchange for big government. Not putting two and two together there, of course.
