the thing that's so nice about elon's twitter is how friendly the place is

Predictably, Elon is escalating from his attack on the ADL league to Color of Charge, Center for Countering Digital Hate, GLAAD, MoveOn, CAP and Media Matters.

Pretty much anyone who's against hate is his enemy.

It's good the President is wearing a mask indoors and around others. But he should also be telling everyone else that it’s important to wear a high quality mask right now, because #COVID is not over and still causing death and chronic illness.
