This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent β and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesnβt like.
The AI MAGA bot network on TwiX is short-circuiting over human illogic & contradictions. Gene Roddenberry predicted and comically depicted this 58 years ago in "I, Mudd." Kirk: "Our logic is to be illogical. That is our advantage." youtu.be/YbHtzqCge_8?...
"...with the MAGA movement split over the administrationβs handling of files involving deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the accountsβ messaging has broken, offering contradictory statements on the issue and revealing the AI-fueled nature of the accounts." www.nbcnews.com/tech/interne...

Classified or not is a distraction (can be declassified for cover, etc). It's high level NDI that wasn't protected & secured. How this was done, plus when, where (1 person in Moscow) & w/whom put intel, operations, nat'l security, and most importantly, lives at risk. Very DEI: Dumb/Evil/Incompetent.
Advance strike times are sensitive and classified because they put American military directly at risk. The Secretary of Defense was blasting them out to unknown numbers over unclassified channels. Itβs sloppy, careless, and dangerous. He should resign.
Knitting as resistance. Don't dunk on AOC's knitting. This craft has a history of resistance. Plus, it helps unwind our knots of stress as we resist the unraveling of our democracy and work to knit together the fabric of our society. π§Ά youtu.be/fq0o_QetQXU?...

So we're back to pre-93, and let's just cancel the Revitalization Act and include only white men in our research and clinical trials. Ovaries be gone, all hail the prostate. Fun!
One by one, drugmakers are pulling back on their DEI pledges in this new Trump Era. Damian Garde has the details > www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
How did we all end up in the Mirror Universe? Did SpaceX open a traversible wormhole that sucked Earth over? I really hope DOGE didn't cut the funding on the multidimensional transporter b/c I really want one now. I hate this timeline!
The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side theyβre on. Now.

Let's spell out and put on blast that Trump/Musk has stopped all monies for the 2022 INFLATION REDUCTION ACT, which is lowering prescription drug, health care, energy costs, and fair taxes. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...

He needs to eliminate/raise the debt ceiling for the 3/14/25 spending agreement deadline to renew/increase the sunsetting Trump tax cut for lg corps and billionaires, and thinks, as Emperor, he can slash all spending, except his MASSIVE govt contracts, to pay for it so all House Rs vote for it.
Why Is Elon Musk So Hell-Bent on Bulldozing the Government?: Silicon Valley insiders tell Vanity Fair what they think is behind the mega-billionaireβs DOGE crusade. βElon believes he should be emperor of the world,β one close associate says.

The unelected cyberbaron who supports Germany's new Nazi party, has a manufacturing plant there and 2 huge plants in China, illegally accessed Treasury & OPM systems (that China tries to breach daily), has our sensitive & classified data. Worrying about TikTok as a nat'l security threat is quaint.
Um, people need to stop and read this. Muskβs team is looking at the coding of the Treasury payment system. prospect.org/economy/2025...
Thank you so much, someone who can do something about it! Signed, Someone who can't, and is valiantly trying not to freak out. π³
Giving access to SSNs, other data on government employees to non-employees like Musk is a violation of 5 USC 552a, and carries with it a penalty of $1000 per person whose data was accessed. We are building a case. Govt employees who want to participate should contact me directly

NEW: The board president of a small WV nonprofit says they haven't received their HHS funding since the Trump/Musk budget freeze. They had to lay off 3 of 5 employees on Friday. An 86-yr-old woman is counting on them to take her dialysis tomorrow. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Governors and State attorneys general must protect their citizens, whose tax, personal, and financial data is being stolen by an unelected private citizen acting illegally.
We are in such, such profound danger. They are doing the Reichstag fire to the most crucial and foundational payments layer of the Federal Government.
Anyone know any Red State residents and MAGA? They aren't hearing that their social security numbers, tax return info, State Dept intel computers, etc have been stolen. Tell them. And if you have a Republican representative and/or senator, contact them! youtu.be/6Xzjqr495EI?...

You may not like it, but Leah's right. There's a reason the Prodigal Son is a parable in almost every culture. when someone experiencing cognitive dissonance comes to you, you have two choices: embrace them, and win them over forever; or reject them, ensuring they never again question their beliefs.
Elon Musk is an illegal immigrant, i.e. an immigrant behaving unlawfully and performing illegal acts. State attorneys general must act to stop him from taking their citizens' personal information. Then #DeportElonMusk youtu.be/tPbTEOnLlwc?...
I said hey,what's going on? Trump imposed: 25% tariff on all Canadian & Mexican goods 10% tariff on Canadian energy 10%.tariff on all Chinese goods Canada and Mexico threatened retaliatory tariffs. China said it will file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organization. youtube.com/shorts/jLX0a...

So the freeze can go into effect for the 28 Republican-leaning states. π€ -- "A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to keep taxpayer dollars flowing to 22 Democratic-leaning states.. The order applies only to the states that filed the lawsuit."
