Musk and his minions have reinstated the account of one of the nation's most prominent bigots. This is not remotely surprising to anyone who's paying the slightest attention.

I remain surprised, and disappointed, that so many people in the journalism world still choose to use that platform -- knowing that they are supporting people who want to see the U.S. become a right-wing dictatorship.

Journalism has options, but most journalists ignore them.

@dangillmor I’ve been curating a list of journalists to follow here. If anyone has a list I could look at, that would be awesome.

Also, why ARE journalists, scientists and activists willingly supporting an antitruther?
