@irgarner this is bad news. what it really means is that Sunak wants to cut down help to Ukraine. It's been quite clear that this was his intent from the start.

@dangillmor 100% this. But it's already clear that this is not the message they are getting. Other than the people that Musk banned **very few** journalists have so much as created Mastodon accounts in the last couple of days. And as for news orgs they are not doing anything except enforcing further self censorship re Musk.

I don't think journalists (in general) -- and certainly not the organizations they work for -- fully understand the threat Musk represents to the future of free expression and journalism itself.

Begging him to reinstate the banned accounts is pure folly. It is bended-knee supplication to a sociopath who now controls a powerful media company. But the power of his company depends in no small degree on keeping journalists there.

Leave. Now.

No matter how many times @elonmusk@twitter.com repeats this lie, it’s still not true.

None of these journalists doxxed Musk.

Glad their accounts have been restored though.

A senior says she ended up in the ER after being denied Paxlovid

"Canada's abundant supply of Paxlovid, the potentially life-saving COVID-19 treatment, has largely gone unused — an oversight that experts say has likely caused a number of unnecessary deaths."

There are many legitimate reasons to track Elon Musk's flight coordinates, for example to offer him ads more relevant to his interests

t.me/United24media/1768 ⚡️🇺🇸 In connection with a possible Russian attack on Kyiv, the United States may provide Ukraine with new weapons. The administration is considering the possibility of transferring to Ukraine:
▫️Patriot systems;
▫️Direct-guided munitions kits that turn unguided aircraft munitions into "smart" bombs;
▫️Earth bombs of small diameter, which will significantly increase the range of destruction. #Ukraine #News #War #Russia
