The new iPad “X” update of Twitter app has broken it. Once one scrolls in the content panel the sidebar icons are disabled. Switching from Search to Home or Notifications is impossible without closing/reopening the app. Rebooting the iPad doesn’t fix the problem. Major bug.
Since Twitter has switched to X, the sidebar buttons on iPad don’t work most of the time.
Is there any indication Elon Musk actually planned this and didn’t just suddenly decide, “We’re now X!” a week ago and everyone had to scramble to make it happen?

An inconsequential amount of aid intended to counter the narrative that Israel is committing war crimes by keeping civilians under siege. And the bombing raids have increased dramatically after 1st convoy went in. 500 trucks of aid a day into Gaza were the norm prior to war.
Biden & Netanyahu cosplay at being humanitarians. 20 trucks went into Gaza, next day 17, today 14 trucks. 500+ trucks of aid were delivered daily prior to war. No fuel, so soon they can’t even drive supplies around. Continued flow lol.

This isn't a yes or no question.

If you listen to what the judge said closely, they DID order Israel’s military to stop harming Palestinians, making no distinction between civilians and fighters. It’s the same thing as a ceasefire without using the word ceasefire.

The absolutely screwed-up thing about these “test-case” arrests (which will almost certainly be thrown out), is the individuals who simply rt’ed something w/constitutionally protected speech are going to suffer their lives being ruined going through the court process.
Based on how communicable coronavirus is, & given humans have no immunity to it, it’s reasonable to expect 60% of the population to contract it within a year. Common flu has a 0.1% death rate. This virus has a rate of ~1-2%.
Think about that.

Full vid👆 shows DC police ~incited~ resistance/self-defense by pulling down tent on vendors. The clearly malicious destruction of property in no way connected to “dispersing” a crowd shows their true intention. Terrorist action under color of authority.
It’s the wanton, petty destruction of food and property by DC police AFTER “threat” had been ~neutralized~ that gives proof the intention of police wasn’t to lawfully disperse a peaceful gathering. It was to terrorize the protesters. Do we want a society where this is allowed?
