They aren’t afraid of “ANTIFA.”

They’re afraid of accountability, of people who document what they do, and of a public that can still recognize fascism when it sees it.

Argentina is already defaulting on a $20 billion dollar bailout loan from the International Monetary Fund, but this $20 billion dollar bailout loan from the US Treasury will work out great. For Milei.

Stephanie Ruhle lays out the summary:

Sorry, is there a question here?

27 children died.

Close the goddam camps if you can’t comply with safety measures.

This isn’t the first time flash flooding in this zone has killed campers, just the most well known with the highest death toll.

Seems like they are going after reporters who are women. They hit one w/pepper spray ammo in her car, the WGN reporter and now this.

Each day, as I scroll social media, I bookmark videos to share with my son. Then, before bed, we squeeze into my chair & together we watch videos about lovely animals, goofy dogs, cool science. The more we watch, the more the algorithm sends them my way. We aren't doomscrolling — we're joyscrolling.

👀Total blackout in Viktor Orbán’s Hungarian propaganda media: not a single word about our investigation uncovering Hungary’s spy network in Brussels — nor about the EU’s internal probe and the scrutiny over Orbán loyalist EU Commissioner Olivér Várhelyi's role. How strange!

They're already collecting for it.
Not only content, but also millions in bribes for that "library".
Suitable place to expose treason.

We need something like a “Fascistpedia” to keep track of those who collaborated with the regime.

Later, they'll be scurrying to hide their cowardice and moral rot.

A permanent record will guarantee enduring shame.

Let’s give them their own museum.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.
