I also like to keep track of what the enemy is saying and doing.

This has zero to do with my admiration, respect and good will for Canadians or any other wonderful countries.

Least doing what they can and we continue to subscribe or at least
Post links and do so on DU of all places. It was a comparison, that’s all.
Anyone can keep up with what’s going on at Bluesky. And many of the posts aren’t even political.
Whatever. Just curious where people stand.

3 American doctors in this hospital that was bombed by Israel today. Here is one American Dr posting on Twitter from Gaza.

“

“I was at Nasser Hospital in #Gaza when it was bombed today. One of my patients, a 17-year-old boy, was killed. He would have gone home tomorrow. If I had been changing his dressings, as I planned to this evening, I probably would have been killed too. Attacking hospitals is a war crime, and it needs to stop.”

IBM, Disney, Comcast, Discovery, Warner Bros, and Lionsgate are back after an yr boycott.

Plus Apple just announced it’s coming back.

I haven't seen one. In fact I hardly ever see an ad anymore. When I do, I delete them.

After depressing news and posts, these links are something pleasant with which to end the day.

And she is back to posting again. Their posts make me smile and that is a good thing. They are a breath of fresh air.

Being on twitter supports a Nazi.

That's a bad thing to do.

I am part German. Am I a Nazi?

Elon is too pro Israel for me to think he’s a Nazi.

people may not like this, but Twitter/X offers real time AND timely current events..

lots of news and political organizations utilize the site.

the site is also compatible when posting links, unlike Blue Sky and others.

I get so sick of hearing this bullshit over and over and over again.

Agree 100%.

Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

This place is off the rails.

People go to social media sites to TALK TO EACH OTHER, not the fucking owners

People who criticize X are usually the ones who have spent little to no time on X. You will get news immediately- before any news organizations will and if you really want to see what’s actually happening in Gaza in real time - Twitter is your place. Lots of people and reporters in Gaza have cell phones and post daily.

Any questions that come to your mind- you can ask AI Groc 3 - you will get an answer plus published articles to read. I just asked Groc the direction of the plutonium cloud after the explosion at the Trinity site - and Groc tells me - “probably went over your property “ 😱

I think Dems made a HUGE mistake leaving X. 100,000,000 Americans are on Twitter and you want them all to be influenced by Republicans- not Democrats- hello.

When material is available on both Xitter and Blue Sky it makes sense to use the Blue Sky link. I have often seen Xitter links and gone to check if the Xitter poster is also on Blue Sky and have found that many are. Please use Blue Sky in such a case.

I continue to got to X/Twitter for several sources about Ukraine, but only if they are not on Blue Sky. I periodically check if they have moved off of X/Twitter.

Just to check the cars out?

Lots of Musk’s X supporters here.
We can agree to disagree then.

They support his platform X by using it and posting links on DU, they are consumers of Musk’s X. You may interpret that however you wish. If you feel it is outrageous to make this observation then that is certainly an opinion you are entitled to. Thank goodness that for the time being we live in a free speech country.

You are personally attacking and falsely smearing millions of good Democrats.

I wish everyone would get off X. Sponsors and all. It would be wonderful to see it go down in flames. Boycott is a form of protest and that’s what id like to see. I have no interest whatsoever in gaining power. As I said, I don’t want to quash free speech, at the same time I do not understand how critically thinking DUers continue to support Musk’s X given that he is dismantling our democracy and his behavior is clearly off. What part of Nazi salute do people not understand? I don’t get it at all. My original post was curious and the responses were pretty aggressive. I did not personally attack anyone.

I can get my cute animal/interview clip video fixes somewhere else.

Contributing views (money) to the richest Nazi in the world, who is trying to take your Social Security, is just crazy.

I might see one animal video every 100 posts.

Newspapers do the same thing when they tout their subscriber base to rope in potential advertising income.

But, do what you gotta do. Let your conscience be your guide.

Following people I guess is more important than making a decision not to support the individual who is dismantling our govt, giving nazi salutes, etc etc etc.

And make careful notes regarding the sponsors I will denounce and boycott?

Seems like a win-win if I understand their business model correctly.

but sure, let's keep pouring money into his pockets.

That's just creepy.

Thank you for your post

I have a bluesky account but still use twitter. When possible, I post both the bluesky and twitter links to articles/material that I post on DU. DU does not show the bluesky material yet and so I prefer twitter for now. I like my posts to show the underlying article and not just a link that does not tell you anything about the material in the link. If and when the BlueSky links work, I will be happy to drop twitter links

Honestly, it's not like I am missing out on any pertinent information because I have usually already seen the info on Bluesky/other sites.

It really sums it up. For me, it’s not that it personally bothers me (ignore does not work then). It’s more that people are supporting the use of Musk’s company X. Oh well.

you have to go where the dumb asses are at.
