I understand why #Google is doing this (as they usually follow the government’s lead when it comes to maps), but this whole “Gulf of #America 🇺🇸” fiasco is silly.

This will be another 6-3 decision by SCOTUS, with the religious school winning the legal battle. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-hear-church-state-fight-oklahoma-bid-launch-first-public-rcna186031?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=user%2FNBCNews 🔛 @darnell@flipboard.com (Flipboard) 🐬📰

@atomicpoet @darnell@threads.net @threads @wordpressdotcom Yep! At least for WordPress blogs. WriteFreely does not work for some odd reason.

@dgoldsmith @laurenshof The others were okay—I am not sure why they were banned.

The #Democrats are starting to surrender to the #GOP.

#DonaldTrump has been President for less than a week & the 🫏 are already retreating.

We are on our own.

It is organized chaos at the White House, but #ElonMusk may have had a fallen out with #DonaldTrump’s staff, as he is being pushed out.

Good. Musk does not belong there.

After the Senate barely confirmed #PeteHegseth, I fully expect the rest of #DonaldTrump’s picks to be confirmed later on too.

So #Tumblr is transitioning to #WordPress in order embrace the #Fediverse (there is still no timetable on when that process will be completed).

Also, despite the popularity of #Bluesky, Tumblr has no plans to embrace the #Atmosphere & will stick with support for #ActivityPub for now.

Ironically, you can easily import your Tumblr blog into WordPress, & then cross post your content upon Tumblr. That’s what I have done.

@laurenshof @zuck @threads Sure!

Sites no longer blocked by #Threads:

👉🏾 Baraag [dot] net
👉🏾 https://mastodon.cloud
👉🏾 https://pawoo.net
👉🏾 https://bookwyrm.social
👉🏾 Poa [dot] st
👉🏾 https://kbin.social

There were numerous #Misskey instances that were also blocked that I do not recall (for not having a public feed), but they are unblocked now.

After @zuck changed #Meta’s content policy around offensive content, I noticed that the number of sites that @threads previously blocked have now been unblocked: https://www.threads.net/moderated_servers

Sites previously blocked for trolling 🧌, or promoting vulgar content (like Baraag whose existence is evil) are also now unblocked.

Curiously, all #Pixelfed instances are still “muted,” although #Fediverse handles will still show up on #Threads.

@Sumocat Yes, and some congressman have threatened any company who does business with TikTok. This makes Oracle’s move brazen & foolish.

Okay, now we have confirmation that #Oracle is still doing business with #TikTok (regarding hosting) while #Apple & #Google are not.

I think Apple & Google want an iron clad law passed by Congress before they list TikTok on their App Stores again.

😳 Is #DonaldTrump targeting immigration lawyers now‽

👉🏾 Federal agents raid immigration lawyer’s office in Providence https://youtu.be/cE7E4QLwu5g

The court approved of this raid, which means the lawyers clients may face harassment from authorities.

Theory: #Trump might be trying to discourage migrants from contacting legal assistance.

@paul 🤦🏾♂️ Yeah, it is quite embarrassing!
