Apple has a private platform, too. And like twitter and the others, they're not obligated under the first amendment  to provide service. Since there's reported postings for more rioting on platform, the latter may be shutdown...

trump Banned Permanently

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"One day [you] will not be able to walk down the street. It is today,” yelled one woman who wasn’t wearing a mask in violation of airport rules. She was wearing a “I love Trump” shirt with the letter “Q” on the back of the shirt, a likely reference to the QAnon conspiracy theory."

Trump supporters organized the Capitol riot online

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Posts on websites including Parler, a Twitter-like platform with minimal content moderation, and TheDonald.win, a message forum that sprung up after Reddit banned a “subreddit” of the same name in June, were rife with posts about storming the Capitol in the days leading up to the deadly riot that prompted a lockdown and forced lawmakers to evacuate."
"For five days leading up to the riot, when a mob forced its way into the Capitol, there were 1,480 posts on Twitter from QAnon-related accounts about the Jan. 6 date that contained “terms of violence,” according to the Advance Democracy report."
"One account related to the QAnon conspiracy theory late Tuesday night tweeted, “WE are all done being the bigger person, no more MR. NICE PATRIOT! it’s Time for Patriots to Rise up, Kick The Tires and Light the Fires, and Kick Ass and Take Names!!,”

California, Unlike Other States, Expects Record Revenue

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"This budget reflects this state is doing pretty damn well," Newsom said. "We've got a lot of work to do to help small and medium-sized businesses, but folks at the top are doing pretty damn well. But I don't begrudge that success, I admire and respect it."
"The state's coffers are so full that California will be constitutionally obligated to put billions of dollars into rainy-day reserve accounts, all while many other states are facing deficits. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo says the state is $15 billion in the red."

male dominance may predict support for Trump, study says

Posted By Rod Kaufman
"Men and women who endorse "hegemonic masculinity" -- an idealized form of manhood where White, heterosexual men have power, status and dominance over women, gay men, men with disabilities, racial or religious minorities and other groups -- are more likely to be supporters for US President Donald Trump than those who don't embrace dominant masculinity, according to new research."
"One reason is that Trump -- at least in the persona he publicly performs -- exudes an exaggerated dominant masculinity. Supporting him may thus be a way of borrowing that ethos or displaying that one is masculine by supporting a 'masculine' proxy,"
In other words, swingin a dick pick up truck driving Trumptoids gotta be the alpha males or else...
