Here's how American news outlets framed the announcement from disgraced ex-president Donald Trump that he would once again seek elected office 🧵 1/

A thread about Twitter. First let us stipulate that Elon musk is a disgrace and a partner with the murderous Saudi regime. But at least for now I am going to stick it out on Twitter. I came to the platform very reluctantly years ago, pulled into it by my editor. 1

A great way to sell books and promote yourself, he said. I thought, what can you do in 140 characters that isn’t just trivial? But I quickly discovered that there is a lot more to Twitter than that, and that you can say a lot in one tweet and in multiple ones. 2

I learned that when I followed interesting people, I could click on things to read that I would not otherwise discover that were enlightening, entertaining and edifying. Along with videos that made me laugh or made me cry. (H/T @RexChapman) 3

I have built a community of friendships that I would never have found otherwise. Some of these friendships have endured and really enriched my life. Some ate famous people, others are not. All are interesting, morally strong and admirable. I do not want to lose that community. 4

I found a place where I could be candid about my own traumas, including the loss of my son, & be surrounded by warmth and love. I could tweet about my dog lost in downtown DC and have 28,000 people respond, both with sympathy and calls to help keep a lookout to find him. 5

Since Trump lawyers are searching other properties & the fact they found TS docs in his desk among other places, I thought it might show that; at least the 'idea' of concealing stolen TS docs w Ivana wasn't as far fetched as some may believe. (I know I misspelled Casket)

The new Prime Minister of Italy.

Wow.
