The death of the Twitter API has killed the incredibly obscure app I used for reading Twitter. I've tried what I can, but there's nothing really to do but accept that it's over, and leave. I'll miss you and I'll try to find similar stuff on the elephant app. Check my bio 😭

THEY DID IT!!! Washington @MomsDemand and @StudentsDemand volunteers just helped pass HB 1240, which prohibits the sale and manufacture of assault-style rifles, including semiautomatic rifles with detachable magazines. The bill is now headed to @GovInslee for his signature. 💪

“The killer posted on Facebook that he might “kill a few people on my way to work,” got in his car, ran a red light, drove directly into a Black Lives Matter protest, & shot and killed a protester because he felt “threatened.” And Texas Governor Greg Abbott plans to pardon him.”
philip lewis@Phil_Lewis_

Less than 24 hours after a jury found an Army sergeant guilty of shooting and killing a protester, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk" statesman.com/story/news/loc…

The death of CBDQ was like if you went to the funeral of an elderly relative, and like 400 people were there crying in fursuits and you just never knew.

ChatGPT is so good for walking me through all the bits of backend programming that no-one ever explains in online tutorials, like "how to make Node go" and "where is page"

The Tennessee legislature responds to the Tyre Nichols murder by . . . overriding police accountability measures passed by voters, stripping civilian review boards of their power, and making it more difficult to investigate abuse and excessive force. twitter.com/SekouFranklin/…
Sekou Franklin@SekouFranklin

Lost in the 24-hour news cycle is that the state legislature is one step closer to killing civilian review/oversight boards in Memphis & Nashville (SB 0591/HB 0764) in the wake of the Tyre Nichols' killing. It will remove oversight of police abuses/use-of-force incidents. 1/x

In 2004, ⁦@latimes⁩ wrote a front-page story about Clarence Thomas and the many gifts he had reported receiving: $1,200 in tires. $100 in cigars. An $800 jacket. More than any other justice. Since that story ran, Thomas has reported just two gifts. washingtonpost.com/investigations…

I will say this and then be done. When I went into labor I looked at my pediatrician mom and my white partner and told them to use ALLLLLL their privilege to make sure I made it out alive. Why? Because even as a Harvard-trained MD with an exceptional OB team in a..

I just wrote this elsewhere but it's worth repeating: Republicans don't seem to understand how angry women voters are. This isn't about them not offering up some sort of bullshit 'compromise' on abortion. It's about absolute fury. twitter.com/JonSchweppe/st…

This is beyond party or partisanship. This degree of corruption is shocking - almost cartoonish. Thomas must be impeached. Barring some dramatic change, this is what the Roberts court will be known for: rank corruption, erosion of democracy, and the stripping of human rights.

NEW BLOCKBUSTER: Private jet travel. Superyacht Island-hopping. Stays at a private resort. For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury gifts from a billionaire. Appears he broke the law. @js_kaplan & @JustinElliott: propublica.org/article/claren…

Today is the CBDQocalypse which is a huge loss for Twitter and everyone who found the joy of botmaking through V's baby. If you want to move to Mastodon I have cheapbotstootsweet.com a 95% compatible with CBDQ option. Depending on migration rate it might struggle but we'll see.

For decades, Justice Clarence Thomas has secretly accepted luxury trips from a major Republican donor, newly obtained documents and interviews show. The extent and frequency of these apparent gifts to Thomas has no known precedent in modern SCOTUS history... 🧵👇
