I came to Mastodon's Toad Social on 1 December 2002 after deleting my Twitter account the day Elon Musk took over there.

Since that time unti today, I remember receiving notices of perhaps two posts being removed — for reasons never clear to me.

Today, I get a notice of multiple posts being removed all at once.

What's this about, I wonder? Why all at once?

What's behind actions like this?

I'd like to know.

Are others experiencing this?

What is clear about him is that he is determined to use the Supreme Court to systematically dismantle every outrage against white supremacy and oligarchy that were passed by 20th century congresses and upheld by 20th century Supreme Court majorities:"

The LaGuardia crash had everything to do with the mess Trump and Republicans have made of air travel and TSA. On the same day, Trump sent ICE agents to airports throughout the country. The day began with a sudden surge of $580 million in bets that the price of crude would fall and of $2 billion in bets that the stock market would rise.
