@eugeneweekly Gannett-owned USA Today & 200 regional newspapers won’t endorse a candidate. Why not?

“Cowardice and the greater financialization of everything within that company, and that kind of company.” - @jayrosen_nyu

@eugeneweekly endorses Harris.

🧵NEW @nytimes:

The Trump campaign "connected with X to prevent the circulation of links" to the JD Vance dossier.

Why are Trump and Musk so desperate to hide the Vance dossier? ⤵️
by @RMac18 @maggieNYTnytimes.com/2024/10/11/us/…
Elon Musk's X removed my tweet and froze my account for linking to a redacted version of the Vance dossier. A Google search for 'scribd jd vance dossier' will show results with a link to the redacted dossier on Scribd. Read the whole story at @thequeenzone

The Trump campaign is afraid of what's in the Vance dossier. Is Vance saying Trump won the 2020 election? And that Trump's Jan. 6 coup attempt didn't happen?

🚨NEW: A spokesperson from the Charles Schwab Corporation emailed this statement to me today, in response to my inquiry about Chuck Schwab, its founder & chairman, donating $2 million in April to two Super PACs that are working to get Republicans elected to the U.S. Congress. Image
Chuck Schwab gave $2 mil in April to Super PACs working to get Republicans elected to Congress. He gave $1.5 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, which "has one goal: to build a Republican Senate majority."

@Bloomberg 2019: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…Image
"Some of [Chuck Schwab's] beneficiaries were lawmakers who refused to certify the election results." -

🚨NEW by me: Adult bullying has spiked. Trump & Musk pave the way. I spoke with experts:

John Gartner @duty2warn, Jennifer Fraser @bulliedbrain, Steven Hassan @CultExpert, Bill Eddy @HighConflict, Renee DiResta @noUpside & @PeterHotez Via @thequeenzone
thequeenzone.com/experts-reveal…
Dr. Gartner said Trump "feels pleasure, joy from degrading other people, enjoying crushing people. He feels entitled to attack.” He added, “His bullying is more disinhibited with dementia. He has no filter. He’s more erratic, impulsive, lashing out in random and confused ways.” Image
Trump’s repetition of “fake news,” discrediting journalists and news outlets, echoes the Nazi cry of “Lugenpresse,” meaning “lying press.” Musk has taken up the rallying cry, attacking mainstream media, while X offers fertile ground for the spread of disinformation. Image

🎆NEW: A European Commission spokesperson emailed me, saying the EU's investigation into X under the DSA is "still ongoing" and includes "risk of disseminating illegal content." Holocaust denial is illegal in Germany. The post below remains intact on X. 1/
Image
The EU spokesperson said the DSA requests "non-arbitrary enforcement" of terms and conditions. The @AuschwitzMuseum said they reported the Holocaust denial post above to X as prohibited post: "Violent event denial" but they received no response from X. 2/
Linda Yaccarino, 2023:

“So if you’re going to post something that’s illegal or against the law, you’re gone, zero tolerance."

Holocaust denial is illegal in Germany. The post above remains intact, despite alleged violation of German law & X rules. No one from X has responded. Image
