“Meta is giving the green light for people to target LGBTQ people, women, #immigrants, and other #marginalized groups with #violence, #vitriol, and #dehumanizing narratives. With these changes, Meta is continuing to normalize anti-LGBTQ hatred for #profit — at the expense of its users and true #freedom of expression.”

#Residents of #Springfield, #Ohio, #hunkerdown and #pray for a political firestorm to blow over.

Between the morning #bombsweeps of #Springfield’s #schools and the near daily afternoon #mediabriefings, a #hush comes over the city of 58,000 that #residents say is uncanny, haunting even. It’s #fear. It’s #confusion#dismay at being transformed overnight into a #target for the nation’s #Racist #vitriol

The biggest of stories came to the small city of #Butler. Here’s how its newspaper met the moment local #journalism matters. Photographer Morgan Phillips, who stood on a riser in the middle of a field with Trump’s audience that Saturday evening, kept on her feet and kept working, #documenting #history. After #SecretService officers hustled the former president into a waiting car, the people around her turned to shout #vitriol at the #journalists. #TrueGrit apnews.com/article/butler-penn

As Axios first reported, #HouseSpeaker #KevinMcCarthy (R-Calif.) has entrusted #FoxNews' #TuckerCarlson with 41,000 hours of #Capitol #surveillance #footage from the #Jan6 #insurrection. McCarthy had faced intense pressure to release the footage from #farright #members whose votes he needed to become #speaker. In years past this would be #shocking, #alarming, #appalling, #egregiouslywrong #immoral #illegal #unfathomable...but T laid the foundation of a #legacy built on #vitriol #hatred #treason

The #GOP are nothing but #Thugs that throw #RedMeat to their #FauxNews viewing base. They’ve got nothing but #Hate, #Vitriol, & #Chaos to offer. They say one thing and do the opposite. They completely disgust me and I have no respect for ANY person who has an (R) next to their name.
