Andy Stone runs Comms at Meta. If you believe this, I have a Straight of Hormuz to sell ya. No, really, I *totally* own it. They took the whole account down and then upon restoring took 4 hours to actually allow owners access to post, while said owners were in constant touch demanding access.
X Post from Andy Stone saying "When accounts post, share or comment at very high frequencies it can trigger automated systems. That's what happened with the No Kings IG account in the lead up to today's day of action. Unfortunately, that automated action was clearly taken in error. Everything is now working as it should and we sincerely apologize."

Under-appreciated thing about younger candidates (and yes, younger is relative when Congress is world's most powerful assisted living facility) is that they have more energy. And when they're other than standard white dude, they've likely had to exert it toward excelling.

Maybe growing convergence around more populist (not just naming pain, actually calling out villains) and more pugilistic campaigning is due to younger candidates actually spending more time in public. And basing messaging not merely on RCT results but what resonates with people in the flesh.
