.@jamilahking @pemalevy @alibreland and @markfollman raise a lot of good points in the podcast, but one is that, even as Dem candidates want to talk about progressive policies, they need to confront Trump's embrace of white supremacists more vigorously. motherjones.com/politics/2019/…
@jamilahking @pemalevy @alibreland @markfollman Finally, the dumb @DevinNunes lawsuit is part of a larger effort by conservatives to complain about non-existent shadow banning and perceived bias so as to work the refs and make the platforms too scared to take down hate-filled content motherjones.com/politics/2019/…

That's sad, —and the platforms need to see for what it is.
