Over at #Twitter, I responded to Elon’s post that “the people have spoken & Trump will be reinstated” by pointing out that surveying your own followers isn’t "the people."

That was 9hrs ago & I didn’t think more about it. But a journalist just reached out to ask why it shows 137 comments that she can’t see. So I checked & indeed, only 2 show up. Curiouser & curiouser.

Could be nothing, although I wonder if it’s a sign the #birdsite may be in trouble?

Elon now hanging out in Libs of TikTok's replies making ableist comments and bashing his former staffer for correcting him. #technology #twitter #TwitterMigrate #tech #elon

@ashton what a great thread! I learned something new about bots and the fediverse. Thanks everyone!
People would rather come up with 50 conspiracy theories about #elonmusk playing 6 dimensional business chess than admit that a rich mediocre white man might actually be mediocre.

as much as I enjoy schadenfreude and dislike the two-party political system we seem shackled to, I fear Trump taking down one component of that system will have some serious deleterious effects on our government as a whole.
Best case the GOP splits into two. Worst case, democracy falls.
It’s a pretty broad spectrum of failure 😩

@emptywheel catches this issue before #SpecialMaster Dearie in the #Trump #MarALago suit: a dispute over a "compilation" document featuring both classified docs & nonclassified post-45-presidency docs.

The *existence* of this "compilation" is perhaps more significant than the dispute over its status, since "it shows he was commingling stolen classified documents with his ongoing affairs after leaving the White House."

Trump's Secret Document, with the Post-Administration Pollster Communication, in His Desk Drawer - emptywheel

A document found in a desk drawer in Trump's Mar-a-Lago office shows he was commingling stolen classified documents with his ongoing affairs after leaving the White House. The document gets investigators far closer to showing that Trump was using government secrets for his own personal affairs even after he left the White House.

@warningeagle so refreshing to see a politician telling the truth.
