@grammargirl That editor is wrong.

Before the violent attacks on Brazil's Congress, Elon Musk fired nearly all of Twitter's staff in Brazil, including all the workers in São Paulo who enforced rules around incitement to violence and misinformation. There are no teams actively moderating rule-breaking Twitter content in the entire country

Come to the ‘war cry party’: How social media helped drive mayhem in Brazil

Just like with Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, supporters of Jair Bolsanaro used social media, particularly Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, to fuel the anger that exploded on Sunday in Brasília.

The Times will hire eight more of these boring out of power conservatives before they hire someone under 40 who grew up working class, likes unions and knows what tear gas tastes like.

U.S. Police kill more than 1100 civilians annually—unprecedented in the developed world.

Here's how it works.
1. Download the app
2. When pulled over by police, face time a lawyer on demand via voice activation. The call is also auto recorded
3. The lawyer guides the convo.

@davenewworld_2 She is awful. I did not and would not ever vote for her.
@QasimRashid Heartbreaking.
@juddlegum “deep state bots” 🤡 Sure, Jan.

In Texas an Sri Lanken-American named Rajan Moonsinghe got a gun to protect his home. Suspecting a burglar he stood on his front porch. Cops arrived unannounced & shot him dead in less than 1 sec. And the NRA is silent. This is a trend.

Before Rajan, when cops killed Tamir Rice for a toy gun in an open carry state—NRA was 🤐. When cops killed legal gun owner Philando Castille, NRA was 🤐. But when Rittenhouse killed 2 people, NRA called him " a warrior for gun owners!”

2A doesn't apply to BIPOC.

@Fritinancy my aesthetic to a T!
