Hello fellow web crawlers! Andrew here. Welcome to today’s edition of web_crawlr

Today’s top stories are a little different. All of them will be political, for obvious reasons. I promise that in the future we will try and find joy in the upcoming struggle, but things are too serious to include that kind of content today. 

We are all in our feelings today. I got married five days ago, but now the future feels murky and uncertain. I’m sure many of you feel the same way, and we will be there to guide you through it. But today we need to focus on what’s next. The Daily Dot will continue to do that for you every day.

After that, our Senior Politics Editor David has a “Deplatformed” column for you. 

See you tomorrow.
