@ Eva Marie > “leftist Twitter is on the verge of a hostile ‘free speech’ takeover by Elon Musk.”
Glenn Reynolds argues that Musk should leave Twitter alone so that we can continue to admire the melt-down of the Beltway Bubble boobs.

He points out the other Leftist fails, as CTH did, and then concludes:

“Musk is exactly right. Wokeness is a “mind virus,” a toxic idea that spreads from one person to another like a zombie plague. It makes you stupid and removes concern for your well-being.

And as I wrote in “The Social Media Upheaval,” Twitter is the main vector by which this virus is spread. But as long as it’s destroying the left, is it really a good idea to stop it?”

At Conservative Treehouse:
“Leftist favorite Netflix, is hemorrhaging users and just lost 30% of its value. Spotify just refused to renew the leftist idols, the Obamas. The ultra-leftist Disney Corp just lost their special district status in Orlando, and leftist Twitter is on the verge of a hostile ‘free speech’ takeover by Elon Musk.” Also CNN+ is shutting down.
Are we winning? Or are we losing? I can’t tell.

Here is another video from this week. talking about the news sources Russians see inside Russia vs. those they can get from the West.**
