Freeze peach Twitter!
Twitter blocked a Democrat’s campaign video from being promoted on its platform because it expressed support for abortion rights, according to email conversations obtained by HuffPost.
The video, created by North Carolina state Sen. Rachel Hunt (D) for her campaign for lieutenant governor, centers on abortion rights in North Carolina and the fall of Roe v. Wade. Hunt says in the video that she’s running for lieutenant governor to combat anti-choice Republicans who recently passed a 12-week abortion ban in the state.
…
It’s common for companies and political candidates to pay Twitter to advertise content, whether it’s campaign videos or promotional material for certain products. Hunt’s campaign told HuffPost that they had set up a budget with Twitter to advertise certain videos, but then they noticed the money hadn’t been spent and the ad hadn’t been boosted by the platform.
When the Hunt campaign reached out to Twitter to inquire about the holdup, an employee said the video was blocked from promotion because of “the mention of abortion advocacy.”
“Ah yes, the mention of abortion advocacy is the issue here,” a Twitter employee told Hunt’s campaign Wednesday in an email reviewed by HuffPost. The employee said the company may have “some good news to share on that front” in the next week or so, seemingly suggesting it may change its standards and practices on content discussing abortion rights.
“For now, though, you still won’t be able to message around that topic,” the employee added.
Literally running Ron DeSantis campaign events while this happens lol

Oh no, Elon’s brainworms are spreading:
Zuck might actually do something good, at least temporarily good, or at least less bad.

Yeah that’s my take here. That’s mostly because I’m 100% certain Elon is the softest human alive.
People who are old enough to need to wear diapers are in a different class. Also I feel like Trump has probably been a physical bully his entire life and is pretty large. Seems like the kind of guy who could reliably do damage until someone punched him in the nose and he ran away scream crying.
Elon on the other hand is a unique combination of buttery soft and the kind of wild overconfidence that caused the recent submarine incident. I think he gets punched in the nose immediately and takes the punch so incorrectly that he instantly dies.
New best case scenario unlocked: Mark Zuckerburg is facing a manslaughter investigation after his cage match with Elon Musk ended in Musk’s mostly accidental death. “He killed him like a goat that psychopath” Musk’s personal assistant said.

There’s no way this fight actually happens, is there? Elon has to be a huge favorite to wiggle out.
