   Looks like Musk removed a major new pro-Harris account from the deadbird site.

   Meanwhile, journalists continue to directly support one of democracy's (and journalism's) major enemies by actively participating there.

     @dangillmor i sometimes wonder what future historians will make of the present.

     when they write about how journalists continued working for free for an enemy of democracy, an enemy of journalism. a guy who bans journalists, slanders them, belittles them. a guy who deliberately spreads lies. and they just continue voluntarily (!) writing for him for free so that he can fund the fascist party election campaign because just not doing that is too difficult.

     just writing it now it sounds ludicrous.
