@jonfavs It's about damn time someone expressed appropriate and visible outrage at the outrageous.

@RepLoisFrankel Better have a good - no, great - reason you didn't show up today. These aren't normal times.

Big if true.

@Cilla_Presley RIP.

@LauraEWeiss16 @RepJasonSmith I read your article on the @stltoday site. If anyone should ask me why I didn't renew my subscription to that paper, I will cite your article on Mr. Smith.

You ignored his demagoguery, his insurrectionist ways, and his vitriolic partisanship, while touting his phony "populism."

@Rust_Chris67 @DocPoston It's not Bach's *music* that is the issue. If one claimed to be getting direct lessons from Bach, & wasn't getting better as a musician (or was getting worse), I'd say the person was a) making up the claim, b) delusional, or c) Bach doesn't really give lessons (or is bad at it).

A lot of us feel this way. Weirdly, @elonmusk mocks us while actually needing us to legitimize Twitter as something other than a right-wing shithole.

So far, I have found Post (https://t.co/Gp0DuJGwWR) to be an easy transition from here. It gets better every day. Give it a try.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @ErstwhileCon]

@Rosenlaw @glorianobilio3 I think Post has a lot of potential. And it seems like an easier transition from Twitter, given the similar interface.

[Alex Vindman 🇺🇸 @AVindman]

On more thing. I urge you to checkout Post. It looks very promising and likely to outlive Twitter.

[𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 @ErstwhileCon]

Post is functioning better every day (mobile use is still way too glitchy). I think I'll like its writing flexibility when all is running smoothly.

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Lots of people on the waiting list for Post are getting frustrated at the wait. And understandably so. I've seen a number of people say, how exactly is this something that's supposed to a Twitter replacement or rival if it's a velvet rope kind of affair? But i don't think ...

Best take on Mr. Musky:

If the crypto industry can succeed without stealing from investors or laundering money, that’s great—but we won’t know that until the loopholes are closed and the laws are rigorously enforced. https://t.co/ARdtunk0YL

The campaign to smear public school teachers & LGBTQ people as “groomers” has “deflected from the massive sexual abuse scandals plaguing Christian institutions, including the Southern Baptist Convention, the Catholic Church, & the Mormon Church.” 1/ https://t.co/gklYqCbhKE

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Isn't the Mormon Church also doctrinally opposed to being publicly shit-faced drunk before noon?

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

What's the thinking behind suspending these accounts, @elonmusk?

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

The attack on Paul Pelosi was the mark of a new phase on the far right, where even the pro forma expression of sympathy for the victim was dispensed with. Now we see that even victims of a mass shooting are seen as worthy of gleeful insult. Pure eliminationism.

It's evangelicals like @JennaEllisEsq who, using social media, will cause young folks to continue to flee this bullshit in droves in the coming years.

.@JennaEllisEsq on the Club Q shooting. The “people killed in the nightclub that night, there is no evidence/that they were Christians. Assuming they have not accepted the truth/affirmed Christ as the lord of their life they are now reaping the consequences of eternal damnation.”
