Elon Musk is using Twitter to amplify his "obsession with anti-white bias", as @juddlegum explains.

This is only the latest evidence that journalists are deeply wrong to keep supporting him. They have alternatives, but a sad combination of inertia, calculation, and timidity has overridden integrity.

Elon Musk's obsession with anti-white bias

On May 1, Jordan Neely, an unhoused subway busker and Michael Jackson impersonator with a history of mental illness, was killed on the F train in New York City. At about 2:30 in the afternoon, Neely entered a subway car and began screaming that he was hungry and thirsty. "I don’t care if I go to jail and get locked up," Neely said, according to a witness. "I’m ready to die."

Republicans passed a bill in Texas to end countywide-voting, which allows voters to choose polling locations that are convenient or have short lines, and a bill allowing the state to take over county election administration on flimsy pretexts.

If signed into law, the fix is in. Republicans will close locations in opposition areas to engineer impossibly long lines for democrats, but keep voting fast and easy for Republicans.

Her social media team chose that image so you would make this post. Which is the only reason Insaw it. Same trick with random misspellings. It's all designed for virality.

NPR is not tweeting under its main news account, but the subaccounts such as @NPRpolitics continue to tweet today.

Absolute cowards, continuing to provide free work for the man who labels them state-sponsored news.

Why should the people who no longer have representation pay taxes? Why should they follow any Tennessee state laws? Why should they do anything other than burn the statehouse down?

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

I’m so glad I abandoned my account over there months ago and don’t have to keep coming up with new rationalizations for why I haven’t left yet. Sure network externalities are powerful but how can you be part of something so derangedly toxic?

"From the coverage, you would never understand how incoherent he sounds, how far divorced his statements are from reality, and how entirely abnormal this all is. Talk about burying the lead."

Timid media and GOP figures are again, dangerously, normalizing Trump

The ex-president gave an unhinged speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Most headlines evaded the issue.
