Can we just admit the whole system is owned by and rigged in favor of the oligarchs, now?
It depends on what you mean by we
Everyone not a multimillionaire.

Nice. Happy cake day!
It's a good thing Judges in the US are NOT Bought out by the Deep State and ONLY make Decisions based on the Rule Of Law!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
So far, legal attacks on organizations pointing out X’s abundance of extremist content have been rebuffed: a judge tossed X’s suit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate in March on First Amendment grounds, ruling that Musk’s lawyers were trying to muzzle free speech with intimidation tactics.
Currently, Media Matters for America, an anti-misinformation nonprofit, faces a similar suit — considered “bogus” by legal experts — over an article detailing how the site served pro-Nazi posts next to ads while Musk himself endorsed antisemitic conspiracy theories.
O’Connor is the notoriously partisan George W. Bush appointee who in 2018 declared the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional in an attempt to repeal it entirely (the Supreme Court struck down that widely mocked decision), and has a long record of other rulings that align with right-wing ideology.
In March, the judge had to recuse himself from hearing a suit by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and banking trade groups seeking to block a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that caps most credit card late fees at $8.
Even without O’Connor on the case, Media Matters will have to contend with some other judge in the largely conservative Northern District of Texas, an arena bound to be more receptive to X’s efforts to censor progressive institutions that criticize it.
Media Matters did score an important win back in April, when D.C. District Court Judge Amit Mehta blocked Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from launching an investigation into the nonprofit on the heels of X’s lawsuit.
