222 child refugees are missing from hotels in the U.K. The story is featured in the New York Times.
The only thing more shocking than this story is the fact that it's not headline news in the U.K., where we are hit with one more shocking and inhumane scandal after another.
These are children. https://mastodonapp.uk/@ProjectFearlessness/109779524969532028

White supremacists literally murdered a cop in order to smear BLM.
3 months after their plot was made public, the second in command of the maga party went on prime-time national television and JOINED THEIR CONSPIRACY.
Somehow the vice-president publicly allying with cop-killers to the applause of his party got about 5 seconds of news coverage before it was forgotten.

Jeet Heer writes,
"The sad truth is that the George Floyd uprising against racist policing failed, at least in the short term, because it was countered by a bipartisan elite backlash that has entrenched law enforcement impunity. …
All the rhetoric about the need for change in 2020 yielded very little in the way of results. Indeed, on the crucial issue of police violence, there is ample evidence of a substantial regression."

I really don't understand Steve Herman's (@w7voa) thought process here.
Elon Musk has declared war on journalists. He's banned you because you said something he didn't like.
And yet, if you were unbanned, you would "happily go back"?
You journalists need to see Twitter for what it is: a predator that is pillaging your industry, leaving it an empty husk -- all on its way to hijack public discourse.
Stop pandering to Big Social!
