Far-right extremists Ali Alexander and Nick Fuentes were both banned from the platform after recently being reinstated. The pair have been advising Kanye West as he weighs his 2024 presidential campaign amid a torrent of antisemitism. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/ali-alexander-nick-fuentes-rebanned-twitter-1234668251/
@potato_lisper Congratulations! 👍
Every time I talk about @Mastodon in one of my videos, I get comments telling me they couldn't figure out how to ue it, or that it's too complicated.
So, I mae a complete guide to #Mastodon: how to create an account, how to find people to follow, how to use it, and the general etiquette here!
(Of course, you all already know all of that, but now you have a reference guide you can share with people who struggle to join us here!)

"As it it turns out, Musk is more of a relativist than an absolutist: 'Elon Musk Caves to Pressure From India to Remove BBC Doc Critical of Modi.'" That goes down, but the Nazis are back. Today's Morning Shots from @SykesCharlie: https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/springtime-for-nazis-on-twitter

Lots of Republicans constantly claim there’s “nothing” anyone can do about gun violence. They are lying.
Here’s a list of what factually could be done and work. Every option here is a perfectly legitimate example of something that’s well-regulated.
To make progress on gun safety, we have to vote out Republicans.
To make progress on climate, we have to vote out Republicans.
To make progress on or even maintain a educational system now, we have to vote out Republicans.
To make progress on reproductive rights or even maintain a basic level of them apparently, we have to vote out Republicans.
Are we seeing a pattern yet?

It's amazing how many people thought that Elon Musk was a revolutionary genius before he took over at Twitter.
Sort of like how so many people thought that Kanye West was another revolutionary genius before he just decided to fully open up.
Thankfully, I have nothing to apologise for or feel embarrassed about when it comes to these two idiots.

https://t.me/washingtonpost/1988 ⚡️🇺🇸For Ukraine, what’s so special about Germany’s Leopard 2 tanks? As the war in Ukraine nears its one-year mark, Kyiv is pushing Western allies to provide modern battle tanks for its fight with Russian forces. And there’s one particular model the Ukrainians want — the German-made Leopard 2. Other countries have offered different tanks, such as Britain, which promised 14 Challenger 2 models earlier this month. (More) #Ukraine #News #War #Russia #TankeSchon
