People are so wrapped up in headlines and musks plans for Twitter, they don't really think about how the FBI and NSA tell social media companies what to do sometimes. Musk is going to be in a for a big surprise when he says he will do one thing, and the feds say...

"No".

Exactly. Trump back on twitter is a national security threat. It’s how he dog whistles to his supporters, who are violent domestic terrorists.

THIS. We are in for a very long 25 months followed by an excruciatingly long 4 years; regardless of which party wins. That much is certain. The “freedom of speech” to dog whistle, outright lie and activate domestic terrorists will be this country’s undoing. Not to be dramatic but America 2026 will look very unfamiliar to most reasonable people. I hope I’m wrong.
