I am cautious to focus too much on the former president. But it does seem noteworthy that he is taking a turn for the explicitly revolutionary and Q, while his deputies are implying that there will be political violence if he is prosecuted. https://t.co/IcvBwCo5qV

For good measure, he’s also promoting a nonsense idea that the FBI and antifa, not his supporters, stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, and a completely false claim about Ray Epps’ wife. pic.twitter.com/GT59R5Igaj

Trump is spending his morning on Truth Social directly posting 4chan and Q messages, a day after calling to be reinstated as president. He’s doing explicitly what he used to try to shade or use coded language for. pic.twitter.com/ksCMJnJ8KW

I just think everyone - including the mainstream press - needs to take seriously the growing coordination between the Trump operation, the extremist 4chan/Q crowd, and the monarchist new right. https://t.co/KyOcD5QLhZ

Scoop from @sarafischer: Google is holding up Truth Social's Android app due to content moderation issues, and suggests CEO Devin Nunes isn't being honest about the situation in public interviews.https://t.co/Qhcpn3cCSE$DWAC

Interesting... Apple put Truth Social in the App Store right away. Then again, Truth was brand new at the time and any moderation problems couldn't have existed then. But now? https://t.co/p2gnHJAplk

Things simply cannot go on like this forever

Progressive minded people should be more focused on how to attack the root causes of fascism than pressuring corporations to play censorship whackamole. On just purely strategic grounds https://t.co/dltXufdBQS

There’s a theory of responding to post-presidency Trump that argues we should just ignore him. But he’s directly spreading insane conspiracy theories that actively spark political violence to a large extremist audience, and that doesn’t just go away if ignored by the rest of us. https://t.co/DghVR4zKTf

Well, if they started moderating the site, the MAGA folks couldn't plan their civil war, now, could they, and then what would be the point of the whole damn thinghttps://t.co/m7ItRWleZf

I’ve said this many times before: because of the Google/Apple distribution monopoly for apps, a true “free speech” app is impossible. Apple and Google set the rules for every startup and small biz app that needs them to access the market. https://t.co/pXKYl5X1Ps

Google runs numbers. All Trump has left is promoting violence. Morals aside, the commercial benefit of tying themselves to him, with potential liability and his dwindling support, doesn't make sense under any fiscal cost/benefit analysis. That's a win. https://t.co/aFYFIhIpqI
