This is a very well-argued and extremely diplomatic article that lays out the case for why CISA matters. It should be shared widely.

When WaPo pinged me ab the Trump-Musk mess I pointed to a fav essay from 2020 -“The Internet of Beefs”- and the role of the online crowd. Trump & Musk were the main characters, but the spectacle keeps us all hooked & participating —we help shape the moment.

The Republicans have internalized that they’re there in large part to get clips for the socials & play the attention game w/the base. Most Dems - w/exception of some on House Judiciary & the member who entered Taibbi sex pest headlines into the record - don’t understand that this is the job now. RE:

I wonder which direction the Musk stans who made their money off Elon go — the X influencers who get their $$ by monetizing tweets that he boosts. Or grifters like Shellenberger, who owe everything to the ridiculous Twitter Files that they sold as gospel primarily to right wing rubes. RE:
