This is about Ilhan Omar. But it's also about control, intimidation, & authoritarianism. The message is: we can do this to a member of Congress; no foreign-born American is safe. The administration is using fear as a tactic to discourage people from voicing opposition.

It is much more than an attack on Omar, it is an attack on her entire district, and basic democracy. Both Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed in her district. It is saying to all Americans: we can take out your chosen leader. bsky.app/profile/kc-m...

People hoping this will make good noise for Gibney’s doc are avoiding the issue. There needs to be new, viable platforms and forums for culture and politics within the bounds of free speech. It’s entirely doable. Big platforms have lost users and been replaced. Cede these spaces to their owners.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Post from Ezra Levin:

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this.

Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

TikTok has banned the entire Musk film account, citing political content that violates its policies. The move, which comes just as the Alex Gibney’s investigation into Elon Musk expands to more than 470 screens across North America, raises concerns about Big Tech suppression that the very film seeks to expose.

This is a non sequitur. It’s the paper’s job to tell the American people the unvarnished truth. That’s why the Founders protected the Press under the 1st Amendment. Shading their reporting because some people would be offended is an abrogation of the duty they have in exchange for that protection.
