Why is anyone still on X? Got on Mastodon already and take your power back.
The media is busy fellating BlueSky as if Jack Dorsey isn't a giant pile of shit, too.
I'm out of the loop on Dorsey, bring me back in the loop?
Jack Dorsey is just Coca Cola to Elon Musks Pepsi.
A lot of us just want water; it's a lot cheaper and won't give you diabetes.
Dorsey is just as much of a fascist piece of shit as Musk. He supports the same things and still seems to think Musk is the only person who can "save" Twitter.

Jack has fully jumped on the Nostr bandwagon, so much so that he has deleted his Bluesky account (he did nothing but complain about the platform anyway).
29th is when they feed your data to AI, deadline....
"Free speech absolutist" my ass.
Absolute cunt. And proud owner of the thinnest skin in the universe
Xitter, pronounced shitter
"im taking away your banana sticker" 😤
This story keeps getting posted, as if the propaganda needs to be spread more. This was an automated system that was in place before musk which temporarily removed the blue check when you're profile changed, as a precaution against hacked accounts having a huge reach. UAW changed their profile picture when the strike was called. I'm pro strike and member of a union who is in solidarity with the strike action, but let's call facts as they are and not spread misinformation, even when it's for our side
Well elon musk can suck a fat one, so if this is proaganda I'll let it slide
💪
This is just the billionaire version of
And a colleague of mine recently praised Musk to me for bringing back free speech to twitter...
Guarantee they will ignore or excuse this. Or claim it is fake news.
Or just say some generic anti-union bullshit and ignore the actual speech issue.
Your colleague is a racist is my immediate take lol. Because THAT'S what elon brought back
A UAW official told The Intercept that the union had paid for X verification and confirmed that the account had been marked as verified until earlier today when UAW said it was removed without any notification from X
wtf they paid to be verified 🤦♂️
I don't know. A auto workers union giving money to an oligarch that's always attacking unions and runs a car company without unionized workers sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. /s
With that criteria, one can’t do anything in America without a small trickle passing to the oligarchs.
He's just reinforcing the Blie Check brand. Having it revoked is a badge of honor. About time the UAW got decent leadership after their former leadership helped fuck over 
at the 2016 convention.
Wasnt this an automated thing cause they changed their profile pictures? Which happens to anyone with a checkmark that changes their picture.
Not per their own policy https://legal.twitter.com/en/purchaser-terms.html#twitterbluetandc
Doesn't have to be in the policy to be automated
X?
Anyway
Y?
I paid for the checkmark (for the year) and a couple of months later my account got suspended with no violation or violating tweet cited. No appeal.
You are part of the problem
It was a valuable learning experience.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The move seemingly makes it harder for UAW to maximize reach for its posts on X, just as workers have begun striking, demanding better wages and other benefits.
UAW's negotiations also seek to expand benefits for union workers involved "in the production of electric vehicles and the batteries needed to power them," The Intercept reported, and those conversations could also impact Tesla operations.
Last year, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ordered Tesla to revise its policies "to make clear that it does not prohibit production associates from wearing black union shirts."
There was also tension earlier this year when Tesla Autopilot Buffalo-based workers tried to unionize, alleging that they were being treated "like robots" and pressured to skip bathroom breaks.
And most recently in April, the NLRB again ruled that Tesla violated labor laws when managers at an Orlando repair shop illegally silenced workers attempting to discuss pay and working conditions, Reuters reported.
In the moments after X reinstated UAW's verification, the union began posting in support of strikers in Ohio and Missouri, some of them chanting, "No justice, no jeeps!"
The original article contains 621 words, the summary contains 182 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Will this be the fulcrum the NLRB uses to start figuratively throwing bricks through Musk's windows? Tune in next time and find out
