I'm that reporter. It's now been more than a month since I was suspended on Twitter for sharing factual journalism. I miss a few people there, but the website has been easily replaced.

@JuliusGoat Woke has come to mean so much more than that, one could argue far right as added to it or changed it, but so has plenty on the left.

Elon just received a cash offer for Twitter, and we have a feeling he won't like it one bit. But the investor's video of $1 billion in cash as a down payment is an especially nice touch 😂

As the DeSantis regime eviscerates freedom of speech in Florida's university system, timid journalists use the anodyne word "conservative" to describe him and his apparatchiks. Refusing to call the extremists what they truly are is poor journalism. https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/news/politics/2023/01/06/gov-ron-desantis-wants-conservative-overhaul-at-new-college-of-florida/69784941007/

@StillIRise1963 @CheckingInOcassionally

Huh?

Christopher ØienJan 7, 2023

@CheckingInOcassionally @StillIRise1963 So the owner of the plantation abused the women workers, and in some sense didn't care what happened to their offspring?

It's difficult to imagine such a situation for myself, it's so far away from anything I've experienced.

Goes to show how great things are today in comparison.

@StillIRise1963 "His father owned a plantation, but he was a slave?"

Was he a slave on his fathers plantation then?

That's horrible.
