...both seem to be on the same side of things.

Good to know that Dems are paying attention, but don't expect this letter to make any difference.

...for Zuckerberg, who has started to make noises about running for office.

I'd love it if he provides the opportunity to air his complicity more publicly.

...I think Zuck considers himself intellectually head and shoulders above mere mortals. Perhaps pride goeth before the fall?

So he thinks being an asshole is a path to power?

Maybe for a little while, but in the end, it leads to an uglier than necessary fall from power.

bigs. IMO it's also meant to convey to Mueller that the sentiment is widespread and urgent and just action is needed.

He literally has to save the country from these treasonous repug bastards, and it's not just trump.

For example, today one posted about Chelsea Manning, calling her "him."

I'm no fan of Manning, who in my opinion is working for Putin just like Trump, Snowden, Assange, and Greenwald. But anti-Trans bigotry is inappropriate in any context, and it really sticks out like a sore thumb here.

I've been a real critic of Feinstein (and for good reason), but I really am appreciating her work on this issue.

We passed twitter HQ and people were protesting in front of the building for the same thing.

Trump and the republicans have done nothing to stop it because they are benefiting from it.

Just because they hide behind the Russian firewall doesn't mean they are paid for by Russia.

why don't you pose that query to Rachel: rachel@msnbc.com

That impenetrable Russian Wall is Trump's favorite wall

The Russians have little to lose, beyond a little cash (probably not enough to pay for one training maneuver of a naval battle group) and much to gain - much, much more than any negligible show of naval force could achieve.

OTOH, the GOP has everything to lose, and some breathing room in the form of time and PR to gain.

...missed that.

Clearly, there has been a revolution of sorts. The Republican Party is now all over the ideological map. They adore their “Imperfect Vessel who’s doing God’s work in the White House,” and by doing so, they jettison all their old standard bits of business, like personal and fiscal responsibility, family values, law and order, etc. They are no longer traditional conservatives; they are radicals and nihilists, trashing every sector of the U.S. Government, trying to snuff out our democracy in favor of an oligarchy.

They must be stopped.

I do hope he gets an honorary position in the Frog March

then start explaining their position. LIARS! They sold the US for $$$$ just like the other GOP criminals.

Secrets Of Silicon Valley
Series 1: 2. The Persuasion Machine

Jamie Bartlett reveals how Silicon Valley's mission to connect the world is disrupting democracy, helping plunge us into an age of political turbulence. Many of the Tech Gods were dismayed when Donald Trump - who holds a very different worldview - won the American presidency, but did they actually help him to win? With the help of a key insider from the Trump campaign's digital operation, Jamie unravels for the first time the role played by social media and Facebook's vital role in getting Trump into the White House. But how did Facebook become such a powerful player?

Jamie learns how Facebook's vast power to persuade was first built for advertisers, combining data about our internet use and psychological insights into how we think. A leading psychologist then shows Jamie how Facebook's hoard of data about us can be used to predict our personalities and other psychological traits. He interrogates the head of the big data analytics firm that targeted millions of voters on Facebook for Trump - he tells Jamie this revolution is unstoppable. But is this great persuasion machine now out of control? Exploring the emotional mechanisms that supercharge the spread of fake news on social media, Jamie reveals how Silicon Valley's persuasion machine is now being exploited by political forces of all kinds, in ways no one - including the Tech Gods who created it - may be able to stop

Irony in the first degree. Check out Mark Zuckerman's address on the letter. 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 and "market" street is no better for Twitter. LOL
