Lawsuits like this one are not something to celebrate just because you hate Fox News.
I'm not normally one to agree with Fox, but they're right in their statement that suits like this are "designed to chill free speech critical of [Newsom]."

Marine Le Pen's far-right French party rebuffed an offer of support from the U.S. that came after a court barred her from running for office. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/25/world/politics/le-pen-far-right-french-us-support/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #marinelepen #france #us #donaldtrump #republicans
Original story as on Reuters:
Fucking fascist Republicans
Other people might choose to keep using an X account, as part of a strategy of helping more people find their way out of The Matrix of corporate DataFarming. Good on them.
But castigating people for moving to more democratic platforms ignores 2 crucial things; network effects and wellbeing. Staying on a DataFarm run by a known technofascist helps him maintain the network power he bought in order to abuse it, in pursuit of his agendas. Plus it can be corrosive to our mental health.

Having said all that, I think Democrat Congressman Dean Phillips makes some really good points in this issue about the current political culture in the US, and the top-down dysfunction of the Democrats.

"Data Rescue Project Launches New Portal."
https://www.datarescueproject.org/data-rescue-project-portal/
The Data Rescue Project (#DRP) just launched the DRP Portal to supersede its spreadsheet-based Data Rescue Tracker.
"As of June 2025, DRP volunteers and other organizations have rescued over 1,100 public datasets from 80+ government offices…Built by volunteers with support from New America and using JKAN, a lightweight, backend-free open data portal, the DRP Portal is a centralized, searchable hub, integrating datasets from multiple rescue efforts such as Public Environmental Data Partners, Safe Guarding Research & Culture, ICPSR, and more. The Portal makes it easy to discover rescued datasets by government offices sharing the data, topic, and more."
Here's the portal itself.

(Saw this being forwarded around, got a screencap instead because Theads)
I got nothing done today, which, with all of the excitement over millions of No Kings protesters and Dictator Mushroom's Outrageous Extravaganza of Tanks, was to be expected.
I swear to god solders saluted and grinned at Dictator Mushroom. Either that, or the Army injected recruitment video footage into the feed, which I suppose is possible.
Not that I'd want to participate in something as terrible as this, but is there a betting pool for how much longer Stephen Miller gets to hang upside-down from the ceiling in the Oval Office? The public response to his glorious policies seems somewhat lacking, based, in large part, on the squeaking tanks video, and Dictator-For-Life Mushroom's dour expression later in the day.
If they paid enough, I'd consider joining the ketchup cleanup crew at the White House, just so I could keep you all posted on the scope of the destruction.
"Today was a calmer day. Only 4 bottles of Heinz and 1 of Old Soviet Dead Cat Catsup hit the wall. Everyone feels they can get a more restful night's sleep now, with the fusillade of hurled bottles slowing, and so much less screaming of obscenities."
