#California Gov #Newsom takes to #MelonHusk #SocialMedia platform attempting to reassure global trading partners and find workarounds for state to escape foreign trade from retaliatory tariffs. The state does 13% of all agricultural #exports in US, and is responsible for 14% of the nation’s total gross domestic product, making it the fifth-largest #economy in the world if it was a stand alone entity.

"It feels like I am losing a really good friend. And that sucks," a TikTok creator said when the app went dark in the US for a few hours in January. Now, as President Trump’s decision to allow it to operate despite Saturday’s deadline for its sale, the prevailing vibe is more like a despondent shrug. @npr has more in the shift in emotion:
Meta ends fact-checking in the USA on Monday
Meta used the fact-checking program to combat misinformation on its platforms. US users now have to do it themselves.

Musky can’t have an office in the west wing. The whitehouse is not big enough for both of us. I say so. everything is great. Tariffs are going to make the USA great. The penguins will rue the day they messed with me. They get a tariff, you get a tariff, and everyone gets a tariff.
Isn’t America great yet?

sadly, no mention of #Mastodon in this post, but I suppose as far as social media goes, Mastodon itself is not super secure. It is better than #Facebook or the birdsite, and maybe there are other platforms on the #Fediverse that are more secure than #Mastodon. Security aside though, I am rather disappointed that they didn’t mention decentralized social media, or other forms of decentralization for services on the #Internet.

Access any #MainstreamMedia ? Good. Good. They have their place in the world. But do us a favour. Go to their #ContactUs page. Do they show icons for #TheFormerBirdSite ? Fecesbook? Instacrap?
I mean, fair enough, these are the Big Players in #SocialMedia and it makes sense to give visitors such links. But if links to the likes of #Mastodon are missing, take some time out of your busy schedule to go ask them why.
Here's looking at you @BBC , for example.

#Bluesky has a troubling problem with banning trustworthy Palestinian accounts as spam. But I see exponentially more skeets from Palestinians than I see toots from Palestinians over here. #Mastodon seems to have an absence of Palestinian voice altogether. That strikes me as a bigger problem.
Maybe you can point me in the direction of accounts I am missing on Masto?
