Current pic of Twitter CEO but a long time ago, I read a Wired article about a techie creating the 1st electric roadster to combat climate change. I was an instant fan. WTF happened?? Did #Musk lose his way or was he never that altruistic guy? C U on #mastodon #mastodonmigration

The point of Putinist propaganda is always to make people feel like there is no truth, nothing can be understood, everything is a lie or a conspiracy theory. People who fall into that trap are then unable to act, they become nihilists.

As someone born & raised in Odessa for roughly 1/3 of my life, who spent the other 2/3 in America, I know that most people don’t know much about Ukraine - which I get, I have many blind spots, so I thought I’d tweet some little basic things in case it helps make it real 🧵

As US intel predicted just hours ago, a major #Russia mission attack is underway against #Kyiv — cruise & ballistic missiles (as many as 40, per #Russia-linked sources) & intense air defense fire. Most people in underground shelters now.

Having people report on each other is straight up a gestapo tactic. #TexasAbortionLaw

The right fears socialism while they promote facism. This trend repeats so often in history because these fears are innate to humanity: scarcity and abundance, us vs. the other. #TexasAbortionBan
So let me get this straight, someone 8n Texas actually pays people to be nazi informants on their friends and neighbors? irishtimes.com/culture/books…

Voting for your leaders is the foundation of democracy. So it's a huge red flag when gov't reduces your ability to vote. That's a move used by cynics who think they can't win and aspiring autocrats who know they can't. #ThursdayThoughts #VoterSuppression
In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes. And we have virtually no fraud. Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

You had me at “stormed”
Just got off a call of top Los Angeles Times editors, agreeing that we should not call those who stormed the U.S. Capitol “protesters.”
Equality is a threat to those with privilege.

Just a quick reminder of why this today....

President Trump implored ardent supporters at a rally Wednesday behind the White House to walk to the Capitol Building and "show strength" and "fight." Many of them have, and some breached the Capitol Wednesday afternoon. sfist.com/2021/01/06/trump-s…
This seems like a fitting time to announce that I'm starting school this month to be a high school government teacher. #capitol #whitehouse #peaceful #whiteprivilege

Tomorrow's front page of the @nytimes
Also, it was peaceful.
When we (Black and Brown people)out numbered the Police they shot rubber bullets, tear gassed, beat, kettled and arrested us through out the summer and still. Let that sit in. #DefendDC
