There are many tactics Republicans can & may employ to try to depress voter turnout and intimidate voters. That said, voter turnout can also be depressed by people preemptively declaring the election is rigged. It takes effort to get to the polls, it doesn't help to tell people it's not worth it.

Some very good org.s might not be aware of how atrocious that bird site is, (hard to believe but true), and still maintain an account there. An illuminating conversation with them can persuade them to leave. I did it yesterday! Some good folks just aren’t yet aware; help them/us out. 🕊️

Don't let anyone tell you that the Commission's DSA enforcement against X is about speech or censorship.
That would, indeed, be interesting. But this is just the EU enforcing some normal, boring laws that would get bipartisan support in the U.S. (I bet similar bills *have* had that support.) 1/

What an absurd claim.
This is not a tax on Americans.
The EU creates laws to protect its citizens, in this case from fraud and deception. X operates in the EU market and must therefore follow its laws, including by reducing fraud and deception. X hasn’t done that. And so it’s being fined.

I am begging us in media to stop mealy-mouthed avoidance of bias with phrases like "in a controversial move."
When what we actually mean is "in a move antithetical to every scientific finding and medical recommendation." "A move that will cause both illness and death."
