Beyond attempting to pass the SAVE Act, to suppress the vote in the 2026 midterm elections, I put nothing past the psychotic ass-tick.

Let’s be clear on what’s happening here. They’re trying to steal the next election and this is a smoking gun. GOP Senator Mike Lee sees polling that shows Dems gaining ground and the solution isn’t better ideas or better leadership. The solution is rushing to pass the SAVE Act. #SaveActTaxesVoting

Interesting stuff! A little evidence that, at least on the other place, socially harmful content is rewarded. Full post is in the Alt text.
Embedded text: X just published its algorithm. Here's what actually powers your feed, you'll be surprised 😯 

Musk posted the full code, organic posts, ads, all of it, on GitHub. The engagement weights are now public:

🐦 Reply that the author responds to: +75
🐦 Reply to a tweet: +13.5
🐦 Profile click + like/reply: +12.0
🐦 Retweet: +1.0
🐦 Like: +0.5
🐦 Video watched halfway: +0.005

A like is worth almost nothing. A conversation you actively participate in is worth everything. 

One reply chain where you engage back outperforms hundreds of likes.

The negative signals are just as revealing. As some experts estimated:

✖️ Reports carry a -369x penalty. 
✖️ Blocks and mutes hit -74x. 

And those penalties don't expire on the tweet, they follow your account.

What this means for creators: stop optimizing for likes. They're the lowest-value action on the platform. Ask questions. Spark conversations. Reply to your own posts. The algorithm rewards depth, not applause.

What this means for audiences: the research behind these weights is harder to ignore now that the code is public. Studies consistently show that anger and out-group hostility drive the most replies. The formula that rewards replies is, structurally, a formula that rewards divisiveness. That's not an opinion — it's the math.

Which brings me to the bigger point.

Every major platform, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, runs on algorithms that determine what billions of people see every day. 

None of them are required to show you how. X is the exception, not the rule, and only partially because of regulatory pressure in France and the EU.

Platforms should be required to publish their ranking logic regularly. Transparently, in plain language, with meaningful accountability.

🤔 What do you think, should algorithm transparency be regulated, or does that create more problems than it solves?

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.
II.
New Policy
When a refugee is admitted to the United States, the admission is conditional and subject to a mandatory review after one year of physical presence in the United States under INA § 209(a)(1), 8 U.S.C. § 1159(a)(1).¹ At one year after admission:

Footnote 1: 8 C.F.R. § 209.1(a)(1) states that every refugee whose status has not been terminated "is required to apply to USCIS one year after entry in order for USCIS to determine his or her admissibility.. ." 8 C.F.R. § 209.1(b) provides that this

The refugee must return, or be returned, to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody for inspection and examination for admission as an LPR.
If the refugee does not voluntarily return, DHS will return the individual to custody (i.e., arrest and detain) for this purpose.
DHS may maintain custody for the duration of the inspection and examination process.
This detain-and-inspect requirement ensures that refugees are re-vetted after one year, aligns post-admission vetting with that applied to other applicants for admission, and promotes public safety.

Americans living abroad are committed to taking part in democracy despite the complexity of casting a ballot. But that commitment is being threatened by the GOP-backed SAVE America Act, which if implemented, would cause those living abroad to lose their right to vote, Martha McDevitt-Pugh writes.
