it always surprises me that a self-described "genius" like leon has no clue about how the ACLU is funded.
fortunately, AOC is there to school this moron.

UPDATE: a spokesperson from JP Morgan Chase told the Texas Observer they fired the operator of a neo-Nazi X account who we identified as their employee.
"This person is no longer at the firm. We do not tolerate hate in any form and take incidents such as this very seriously."

“[S]ometimes we need to stop hedging and just call things as they are. So here it is, plain and direct: Musk’s alignment with authoritarian ideologies makes him a fascist in both action and effect, regardless of his personal proclamations.”
— ChatGPT, as radicalised by @vruz
Did you know: Elon Musk was made a fellow of The Royal Society and, when other fellows objected, they doubled down to protect him?
Read this by a scientist who values their principles over membership in a club that will have a fascist as a fellow.
You know what they say about a bar that allows Nazis…

Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.
I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.

Love them or hate them, #ElonMusk & #JeffBezos knew what they were doing by backing #DonaldTrump with money, promoting #Trump online or silencing media outlets critical of the former President.

Does this seem like a good fit? - The #X algorithm at its finest!
It seriously appears to be going down the drains.
The other suggestions regularly change, but some #US generals & #BillGates keep showing up.
Is X trying to promote them or are those ads?
Furthermore the home page always shows #ElonMusk posts, even if you don't follow him.

Something a little different for this week’s article - a guide to the Twitter/X exodus from a disability and chronic illness point of view.
People are leaving the site in droves - whether because of changing privacy and data policies or in protest of Musk and Trump’s increasingly fascist and problematic behaviour.
What happens to the disability community who’ve long relied on that app for support, friendship and connection? People who are sick can’t migrate to a new platform as easily as their non-disabled counterparts.
How can we help people find community elsewhere? How can we ensure the transition takes as few spoons as possible?
Most importantly - how can we ensure no one gets left behind?

The Xitter Exodus and What it Means for the Disability Community

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

In a world gone mad:
#ElonMusk, a close adviser to #Trump, met w/ #Iran’s ambassador to the #UN on Monday in NY in a session that 2 Iranian ofcls described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran & the #US.
The Iranians said the meeting between #Musk & Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani lasted more than an hour & was held at a secret location. The Iranians described the meeting as “positive” & “good news.”
