Big Tech steals from news, but it doesn't steal *content* - it steals *money*. In my @EFF series "Saving News From Big Tech," I show how #AdTech and #AppStore monopolies yield vast transfers from news to tech, starving newsrooms and gutting reporting:

@Johngcole @charles_gaba And @johngcole is being humble...the balloon juice blogroll is a who's who of good follows and great content.

Like "live blog of a road trip with @AngryBlackLady and forgotten pants" great.

"Gastritis Broke My Calculator" great.

Just plain great.

For those of you who just follow me on twitter, I have website (a blog) that has been in continuous operation for 21+ years. It has a number of talented subject matter experts, and a longstanding community of commenters.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

FYI there’s a fake account on here impersonating me and going viral. The Twitter CEO has engaged it, boosting visibility.

It is releasing false policy statements and gaining spread.

I am assessing with my team how to move forward. In the meantime, be careful of what you see.

How Dems should frame disabling the debt limit, from @brianbeutler:

"Republicans have threatened to use the debt limit to hurt the US, to shake down Americans, and we’re not going to let them do it...we put bullies in their place."

That Elon Musk spent $42B to buy a $20B company with 450 million active users just to bankrupt it in under a month is REALLY good evidence that billionaires aren’t being taxed nearly enough.

Well @elonmusk now owns this place so here’s a warm welcome to him and his fans

The Martian who doesn’t understand these things asks: why not just increase the debt limit in the lame duck session?

Today my husband was handcuffed and had tasers pulled on him by @oaklandpoliceca because a random couple accused him of stealing their truck. He was in fact sitting in his truck. That he owns.

It’s a shame Hoeven, Cramer, and Armstrong voted against this!

It’s time to elect folks like @katrina_senate and @MarkHaugen20 for Congress who will work for North Dakotans, not big phama and big oil.

[Matthew Gertz @MattGertz]

I appreciate the effort but there's no way this is going to work. The credible "2024 candidate who will run as an unabashed opponent of both the ex-president and other contenders who spew his mistruths about the 2020 election" is Joe Biden.

[Devin Nunes’ cow 🐮 @DevinCow]

Take the lesson here while we continue the fight.

Don’t tell anyone. Don’t write it down. Don’t use technology.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better. #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

The rest of us already knew there were consequences if we did crimes, are y'all just learning this
