Remember this when pundits and politicians tell us it would be a "weaponization of law enforcement" to hold Trump officials accountable for their crimes. *This* is what actual weaponization looks like.

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

My RT of a Katie Miller tweet which RTed the NYPost coverage of the Ilhan Omar raid.

She said: Promise made, promise kept.
I said: Katie Miller is not going to do very well in a deposition.

"If you're not the paying customer, you're the product." The very lowest-effort ethical action one can take in response to that fact in the world is: don't provide free content that makes his megaphone more effective and powerful. What are we even doing, people?

It is now one of the biggest facts in the world that the richest man in the world is an overt white supremacist trying to bend politics worldwide in the direction of white supremacy. Twitter isn't the source of his wealth but it is his biggest megaphone.
