In case you were wondering what had happened…

ETA: There’s some discussion suggesting this event is secondary to the 60 Minutes “whistleblower” interview last night. (For more info on that: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-whistleblower-frances-haugen-misinformation-public-60-minutes-2021-10-03/)

Somebody out there, it would seem, is… cranky. (And perhaps understandably so…)

ETA2: this via Twitter just now:

Meanwhile, more current (and technical) info here.

'And just how we got you elected, we can get you out of office if don't support what you promised us.'

A viral video shows a group of activists following Sen. Krysten Sinema (D-Ariz.) into a bathroom at Arizona State University where they express frustration over the senator being an obstacle to passing a massive reconciliation bill that is supported by progressives.

PHOENIX (AP) — U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema said Monday that activists who confronted her outside an Arizona State University classroom and filmed her inside a restroom were not engaging in “legitimate protest.”

The Democratic senator said that the immigration reform activists unlawfully entered the suburban Phoenix campus building, which was only open to ASU students and faculty, and recorded her and her students. Sinema, a former social worker, is a lecturer at ASU’s School of Social Work.

“In the 19 years I have been teaching at ASU, I have been committed to creating a safe and intellectually challenging environment for my students,” Sinema said. “Yesterday, that environment was breached. My students were unfairly and unlawfully victimized.”

Living United for Change in Arizona, also known as LUCHA, posted video of the Sunday encounter on its social media.

The video showed group members chastising Sinema on accusations that she did not adequately support expectations of a pathway to citizenship for people in the country illegally and has not been supportive enough of President Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion infrastructure proposal.

Sinema did not say anything to the activists while they filmed her.

LUCHA said in a tweet that its members were forced to confront Sinema at ASU because she has been inaccessible to constituents.

Facebook is urging a federal court to dismiss the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) amended antitrust case, arguing once again that the agency’s chair should have recused herself.

The FTC filed an amended complaint against Facebook in August, alleging that the social media giant “maintained its monopoly position” by “systematically” acquiring “companies that it viewed as serious competitive threats” like WhatsApp and Instagram.

That amended complaint was filed after a judge dismissed without prejudice its initial attempt to sue Facebook, which opened the door for the FTC to re-file.

Before the agency filed that complaint, Facebook called on FTC Chairwoman Lina Khan to recuse herself from any antitrust matters involving the company because she “made public statements not only accusing Facebook of conduct that merits disapproval but specifically expressing her belief that the conduct meets the elements of an antitrust offense.”
