I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago.
The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

This is the cloze test - part of the C2 Proficiency exam required of some foreign language learners who want to work/study here.

It's TOUGH. You have to put one word in the gaps.

I assume they only do this if you want to withdraw a really big sum.

Banks ask customers about their money to comply with regulations aimed at preventing fraud & illegal activities, e.g. money laundering.

It's not harassment. On the contrary, it's in everyone's interest. Why would Reform be opposed to crime prevention & detection?
Zia Yusuf posted on Twitter:

Banks are stopping people accessing their own money.

They're demanding customers tell them what they want to spend their money on, why they want to buy an item and asking for proof.

To spend their own money.

This is totally unacceptable, and Reform will stop it.

Well now, would you look at that?

A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

So Trump sent local ICE on Gaza to "make it safer for people" - result is already over 30 people dead.

Trump, speaking on his way to the Middle East, suggested Hamas had been given a temporary green light to police Gaza.

Extraordinary nonsense. The Trump administration's *stated aim* is to force production onshore.

It does look like NATO and the EU is cranking up the pressure on Kaliningrad and therefore on Putin.

I guess accepting donations in crypto makes sense for Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. It could help the party to hide the identities of pro-Russian benefactors.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

To all you patriots (and UK authorities)

Is this not political interference of the most egregious and socially divisive kind?
