Twitter did hide the tweet though.

I keep thinking the best thing for twitter to do is not ban Nostradumbassā€™s account.

Instead ban and disable all the bots and followers that are favoriting and retweeting his tweets. Have him wake up on Monday morning to 9,000 followers total.

He will lose his mind. And there is literally nothing he can do about it.

Literally the absolute least they could possibly do. Heā€™s breaking the rules, inciting violence, and threatening American citizens with murder, and they are letting him stay. How many hours was this visible in the clear for his supporters to boost and crow about before they decided to hide it? If the answer is ā€œmore than a single minuteā€ itā€™s too fucking long. (Spoiler alert: it was a lot longer than a single minute.) Letting him keep his account is deeply, deeply immoral. I donā€™t care about slowly driving him crazy, I want him shut the fuck down.

The news this morning was of racial violence and riots in Minnesota, pandemic deaths rising unchecked, record unemployment, and a government free of oversight and rife with corruption. Itā€™s a grim picture that reminded me of this passage from Trumpā€™s inaugural address:

ā€¦ for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

Turns out, that wasnā€™t Trumpā€™s vision of the country, it was his vision for the country; he wasnā€™t observing, he was predicting. Three and a half years weā€™ve arrived, carnage on all sides, cities on fire, a dream achieved.

November canā€™t come soon enough. Everybody go the fuck out and vote.

Even for small details, the value of investigative reporting holds strong:

According to the official transcript, Trump nevertheless added, ā€œBut you donā€™t think they rip them out of mailboxes? Itā€™s all the time, you read about it. You could read about it. Take a look.ā€

Not so far-fetched considering our current cash bail system amounts to modern day debtorā€™s prison.

Another employee compared working at Facebook to a comedy sketch by the duo Mitchell and Webb in which two SS officers are talking during World War II and one asks the other, ā€œAre we the baddies?ā€ ā€œWaking up every morning at FB now and having this run through my head, immediately followed by ā€˜yes, apparently,ā€™ā€ the employee wrote, above a GIF of the sketch.

Remember when Schumer et al were trying to compromise over Trumpā€™s wall by instead offering to fund a massive boost to the Border Patrolā€™s electronic surveillance capacity?

MSP is an international airport. Any airport with Customs service is ā€˜the borderā€™ and anywhere within 100 nautical miles is therefore also ā€˜the borderā€™.

Thatā€™s the official excuse, yes.

Do you think that this current drone flight has anything to do with people coming out of the airport?
