NEW YORK (AP) — Two years ago, signing a bill intended to punish Twitter and other major social media companies, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted the platforms as “suppressing ideas” during the COVID-19 pandemic and silencing conservative voices.
What a turnaround.
The new Elon Musk-owned version of Twitter helped DeSantis launch his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday. Though it was marred by technical glitches and skewered by the candidate’s critics, the forum nevertheless underscored Twitter’s unmistakable shift to the right under Musk, who bought it for $44 billion and took over in October.

Musk wants to crush unions and declare the United States a free-to-make-as-much-as-you-can-on-the-backs-of-working-stiffs zone.
He calls himself a “free speech absolutist”, but that’s utter baloney. He wants to elevate the speech of people like DeSantis but suppress the speech of workers who want to unionize.
He’s even gone along with Turkey’s recent ban on anti-regime comments in the run-up to the Turkish election.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

We are still talking about DeSantis today... That's a successful launch.

I'm still waiting for one of the fascists, Owl, BP, to explain how exactly Twitter "helped" the nations greatest governor? Twitter spaces are open to all. If Eric Swalwell wants to announce his run for presidency in a joint call with Fang Fang and his boss, Emperor Xi, he is welcome to. DeSantis used a public accomodation - but the AP is melting down because Twitter didn't censor him.
Well, if you don't like DeSantis you would think so. However, it is still relevant and got more coverage than the other candidates because of the glitches they had to overcome. I think you should talk about it more. Post a link too. Make sure everyone hears about DeSantis and how he is running for President now... The more coverage the better, IMHO.

Why do you do this shit?
Why do you trash your own side? I get that you are on team Trump, but attacking DeSantis is stupid and only helps the fascists, the democrats.
When the dust settles, I'll vote for the Republican that is the nominee. Joe Biden and the Nazi party are the enemy of America - eating our own is suicidal.
Dems appear to be normalizers of pedophilic grooming of children at schools.
