Been getting a lot of new subreddits recommended to me on reddit. Funny thing; they're always shitty, right-wing subreddits filled with inane trump-humping trash posts. Given the right's tendency to make backroom deals with social media...I think this is one.

Sen. Cramer endorses Trump making billions on crypto schemes while in office: "If we punished every POTUS who was successful at something & said they can't legislate, if they were a farmer like Jimmy Carter they can't sign a farm bill? There are lots of potential conflicts, but it's all about Trump"

the entire conservative media apparatus was born out of a conviction that what happened to Nixon should never again happen to a Republican president and it worked and they now feel comfortable enough to admit it

JD Vance: "I think Nixon's historical legacy is enjoying a bit of a renaissance, and deservedly so. I joked that if Watergate happened tomorrow, it would be like a 12 hours news story. The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy."

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

Sounds like the UK government is set to make their "social media ban" announcement tomorrow. They've spent much of today trying to convince people that by agreeing "children should not see certain content"; you're in favour of communication restrictions and digital ID.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: I spent YEARS wondering why Sun Tzu’s The Art of War is basically just a checklist of basic logistics… And then I realized, oh, it’s because the book wasn’t for me. The book was written for failson lords that have to be told that you need to feed your troops.

From fake banners to fake charts, rich daddy's big boy son losing fights he pretends to win in the Middle East has become a defining theme of the 21st century.

Newsroom leaders when a woman reporter tweets an opinion: you need to delete that right now or you’ll never report again Newsroom leaders when a male reporter publicly harasses a female peer: I didn’t see that and if I did I wouldn’t care at all

Social media companies can't tell if users are genuine or AI anymore which is why Meta/Facebook/Instagram is spending big cash on congress to pass the Verify ID laws just for you to use your own computer. They want your data so they can sell it and profit. jsis.washington.edu/news/faceboo...

🚨 BOOST 🚨 Please help her out. One of the people who assaulted her was a Patriot Front Nazi. Of course the cops didn't arrest him, and now she's facing charges and will need legal funding.

If you would like to SUPPORT the assault victim, Rihanna has a Venmo account up because crowdfunding websites have shut down her campaigns. You can verify her identity through the FB post or contact info she's provided. Please share 👇

One of my sillier mental meanders is doubting whether I should post a pride flag as an ally or should I not because that particular flag is an identity I don’t own or am I subconsciously avoiding the stigma or am I just overthinking it or okay I’m overthinking it. But I’m also not sure.

Bill Pulte is 37 yrs old. He is the grandson of the home builder William "Bill" Pulte that Trump committed mansion money laundering with Russian #Rybolovlev and started the feud between Epstein and Trump that led to Epstein's first charges and naked photos of little girls and Trump blackmail murder.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

My team uncovered that foreign enemies are targeting U.S. servicemembers in war zones by buying their location data. The threat to national security posed by data brokers has never been more clear. We need to dismantle the surveillance advertising industry.

Few details available, but it’s a sign that the tech industry’s advertising-surveillance complex is having consequences on the battlefield. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Day before: "You're speculating and I'm not going to engage." Day of: "I haven't seen the details yet. It wouldn't be responsible to comment." Day after: "You're still asking about that? That's old news. I know the media just wants to attack the president but I'm here to serve the people."

It’s bullshit for the Washington Post to call this looting of the Treasury a “deal“ and an “agreement.” The Trump regime is self-dealing to create an agreement between Trump and Trump, with no judge allowed to weigh in. It’s a dictator stealing from the people.
