“I believe the broader picture will eventually describe a company that was directly or indirectly blamed for allowing…Trump to get elected, and whose subjugation and takeover [by] politicians, enforcement officials, and media then became a priority as soon as Trump took office” https://t.co/45VjnGHiDN

There is no immigrant shortage. What’s happened is US workers have withdrawn from labor market. Creative capitalists should be figuring out ways to lure them back (more meaningful jobs?). Instead employers would rather bring in cheaper, powerless migrants https://t.co/rZtgRTeahy

Absentee ballot harvesting seems like a bad idea because it’s a near-irresistable invitation to fraud, If the fraud is by Republicans, it’s still fraud and only reinforces the case against allowing ballot harvesting. https://t.co/F7CDf37lVG

This piece also suggests the big commercial payoff for @ElonMusk if he can either end shadowbanning or at least make it transparent, so users have more confidence in his platform. Huge numbers of users, left and right, worry about shadowbanning. https://t.co/ClK7qhK1pu https://t.co/CDGWBp3Yg5

Yglesias not faring well in comments here, for good reason. Border isn’t 100% open. It’s only 85% open! Millions who shouldn’t get in are getting in. WH denies the problem. So the thing to do is score points against GOPs for pointing out the problem in slightly exaggerated terms. https://t.co/uUdSjztG9U

Tattles! That’s a new factor. On what other topics did “tattles” lead bots to start Tweets down the Baker Pathway to censorship? Was @Twitter like a condo complex where the nosiest busybody neighbors (in this case almost certainly blue partisans) set the rules? https://t.co/9nhfzY4kgT
