glenn claims his tweet saying nobody from Parler was arrested during the protests (factually incorrect, and Parler users were geotagged inside the capital by @dmehro and @dellcam) was taken out of context. context was him insisting Parler isn't pro-Trump greenwald.substack.com/p/how-silicon-…
glenn is correct that FB/Twitter played a huge role in supercharging this but none of his claims about Parler are true. it's essentially unmoderated, it's so pro-Trump it announced a contest for liberals to post there, it prompts you to follow a bunch of right-wing nuts on signup
the lead investor in Parler was Rebekah Mercer! gizmodo.com/unbiased-socia…
when I signed up for Parler in June 2020 it prompted me to follow this ultra right-wing list of conservative celebrities and politicians gizmodo.com/heres-an-idea-…

I cannot stress this enough: the president just called for "the Military" to go into Minneapolis and start shooting people. He ended this thought with "thank you!"
To be clear, the president is saying that the response of the federal government to riots will be murderous lawlessness. It is not legal for "the Military" (I assume he is referring to the National Guard) to shoot on sight. That would actually be an atrocity.

cool thing about the verizon first responder ads, they're all because california firefighters emailed them "if you dont unthrottle our internet people are going to die" and verizon told them to purchase a premium plan
Santa Clara fire chief also said he believed Verizon knew that throttling their command vehicle would interfere with fire operations as a negotiating tactic
"County Fire believes it is likely that Verizon will continue to use the exigent nature of public safety emergencies and catastrophic events to coerce public agencies into higher-cost plans ultimately paying significantly more for mission-critical service"
