Twitter's new policy will likely shut down thousands of #EMGTwitter emergency alerting and emergency management accounts.
Every time you reduce the methods of communication in an emergency you risk human lives and property damage.

Naunihal SinghTLDR: Mastodon is very white, male, status quo, global north, and designed in a way to limit its potential for use in social movements.
Mastodon feels very different from Twitter, deliberately. It is truly like Live Journal. It is about people who are happy with their social circle and who think of virality and discoverability as a problem. They just want to communicate with the people they know, and limit other things. Ironically, it is more like a private gathering than a public space.

Robert ReichNow for the bad news:
As the military industrial complex continues to feast, the expansion of the Child Tax Credit that went into effect for 2021 was not included in the $1.7 trillion federal spending bill.
Endless money for war. No money for hungry kids or working families.

Big Journalism mustered a few pathetic protests to Musk's control freakery with reporters' accounts, but maintained business as usual on the birdsite.
In other words, Musk is winning his campaign against freedom of expression that he dislikes.
You'd imagine that the journalism business would take genuine action -- eg leaving Twitter -- to demonstrate a backbone, and help preserve press freedom. You would be wrong, sadly.
