We need Gigi Sohn on the FCC. The homophobic BS from the GOP needs to be called out. https://www.fastcompany.com/90843990/senate-democrats-and-biden-need-to-stand-up-to-homophobic-attacks-on-fcc-nominee-gigi-sohn
Just noting the apparent situation of nobody seeming to have a good time here:

Wow. Republican Congressional Rep-Elect George Santos is at best a lying fraud. And at worst? Yikes.

Too bad no one in the press questioned this guy's claimed credentials BEFORE the November election--or say, before he ran (and lost) the last time.

New York Republican George Santos’s RĆ©sumĆ© Called Into Question

Mr. Santos, a Republican from New York, says he’s the ā€œembodiment of the American dream.ā€ But he seems to have misrepresented a number of his career highlights.

I am once again locked out of Twitter.

Twitter just locked my account after I asked Twitter's head of Trust & Safety Ella Irwin why I haven't been informed of what tweet broke Twitter's policies

Seems they forgot to force me to delete the tweet the first time, like they did the other suspended journalists.

This is the tweet they want me to delete to get back into my account:

Sure is telling which super popular social media platform didn't make the cut. Wouldn't want to upset the country where all your shitty EVs are made.
Earlier today Elon Musk said that my ban was temporary, 45 min later he denied my appeal to reinstate my account and confirmed that I am *permanently* banned. The email I just received says the decision cannot be reversed.
I have never once violated Twitters rules or terms of service. I’ve never had a single tweet flagged, my account was permanently banned with no warning and with no reason, after I reached out to Musk for comment.

Tesla stock learning a big lesson today: Don’t fuck with Aaron Rupar
Nice pic out of the White House tonight. And so you have it, here's the text of the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/8404/text #Equality #Law
Why did more than 200,000 workers go on strike this year? Perhaps it’s because CEOs are now paid 399 times as much as a typical worker…

Dear white people:

Whenever you see someone who is #BIPOC speak up about the lack of #diversity on Mastodon... You don't need to give your opinion, you don't need to correct them about their own experience, you don't need to highlight the wonders of the fediverse. Just don't.

Instead, please listen to what they say, and remember that reach here is mediated by boosts, so instead of telling them to invite more people over—or to become Mastodon leaders of their community...

... Just boost them

Make a conscious effort to follow people who are #BIPOC and boost their posts.

Boost posts by non-white marginalized communities so you can help their voices reach farther.
