Twitter appended a "Community Note" to @[email protected]'s reporting on Manatee County School District stating that ""[o]nly unvetted books will be removed" from classrooms.

At the time the policy was announced, ALL books in classroom libraries were "unvetted."

Twitter can't handle the truth

On Monday, Popular Information reported that the Manatee County School District instructed teachers to make their classroom libraries inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The directive was issued as part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R). It was based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

Musk added that "Community Notes cannot be biased towards the right either."

Elon doesn't think you can't bias things to the right because that's where he sees them already. He wasn't making a promise, he was explaining his reality.

@RnDanger @juddlegum Why are you still there? Every post gives Elon more money and support.

Well, I'm not. I feel a bit like yourself but I'm not trying to publish politically relevant newsletters for millions of people to read.

I've never had a post read by millions of people and I don't try to make a living finding and sharing information, but reaching people is the primary goal for Judd, I'm sure, so I'll excuse him if he sees value in getting tens of million of views on Twitter.

No worries, I've done it a bunch too 😊 I think the trick for me is to scroll back to the top and use the balloon under the original toot instead of tapping the balloon most readily available at the bottom when I decide to reply 😅

@juddlegum I just subscribed. The only way to eliminate the problem is to leave him and his site permanently. Yes, it's difficult, but it is the only way. He will not change.

Stop supporting an abuser.
