Elon Musk's decision to slash 75% of Twitter employees will eviscerate Twitter's already anemic trust and safety department. It will embolden hate speech, threats to marginalized groups and proliferate misinformation —ultimately it will crater the company.

Dozens of organizations have joined @accountabletech in calling on congress to investigate the national security implications of Elon Musk's acquisition of twitter. You can join the petition to congress here: stopthedeal.com/congress-inves…

@accountabletech

@accountabletech This is still a developing story but this oped from @nicolelgill at @accountabletech lays out the importance of a congressional investigation and robust CFIUS review needed to shed light on just how much foreign funding Elon is using to make this purchase.

DEVELOPING: One of the planes used in Desantis' Martha's Vineyard stunt is slated to travel tomorrow from San Antonio to Florida, then to a small airport in coastal Delaware near Joe Biden's home.

Migrants deserve to be treated with dignity, not be used as political props.

I must underscore that this is based on the flight's scheduled itinerary. I am cautious to speculate but Ron Desantis could also know reporters are watching and be attempting to troll the media.

It appears the Sheriff's office in San Antonio has opened an investigation into Desantis' 9/14 stunt.

This looks like the kind of "golf" wherein a gentleman named Carmine asks you to place your cell phone in a bucket prior to participating, then thanks you for "respecting Mr. Trump's privacy."

FUN FACT: "Carmine" was the name an extortionist used when calling a real estate lawyer in support of Donald Trump. You can read the FOIA about the Homdel police investigation here:

Intelligence seems to indicate that employees of Russia's Rosatom nuclear agency have been instructed not to show up for work tomorrow at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant in occupied Enerhodar.

Many fear this could signal plans for a staged incident at the facility.

Simultaneously, Russia has issued a statement claiming Ukraine was planning a provocation at the plant tomorrow.

Kiev has fired back stating that Russia who is currently in control of the facility has plans to create an incident at the plant and blame Ukraine.

Moscow is “blackmailing the whole world with the possibility of a nuclear disaster” — Hryhoriy Plachkov, former head of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine.

Letter from Musk's attorney to @vijaya terminating the merger. I hope twitter collects a full $1Bn penalty form Musk for attempting to troll twitter's value like this. sec.gov/Archives/edgar…

@vijaya

@vijaya And yes I said "troll."

Starting in April it became obvious @ElonMusk's offer was spurious at best, and at worst was an attempt to devalue twitter so that another institution like BlackRock can come in "buy" twitter at a devalued price in an attempt to turn a profit.

Documents obtained by @PropOTP in 2019 detailed attempts by Trump's FBI to frame the pro-choice movement as a "violent terrorist threat." It appears that the fear cultivated by this week's DHS "Night of Rage" memos follow a similar baseless narrative. sparrowmedia.net/2019/01/fbi-ta…

@PropOTP

@PropOTP When the documents were surfaced @annamerlan covered this lurid FBI narrative with additional detail for @Jezebel: jezebel.com/exclusive-fbi-…
