Pay attention.

"Plenary authority is legal power that is full, complete, and unrestricted in a specific area. When used in reference to government officials, the term "plenary power" is more common."

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Miller oopsie doodled and said the quiet part out loud, talking about DT aka himself having “plenary authority”:

A plenary power or plenary authority is a complete and absolute power to take action on a particular issue, with no limitations

The alternatives like many substacks, or singular control over social media by people like Mu$k or Zucker, then there's a lot of potential.

TLDR; you needn't necessarily lose access to friends and content with more servers, but people, and you, and friends, can find safety online.

small people (black, white, all races) in a global technology power struggle to have some power of the content we see, and the people we choose to engage with; without necessarily siloing each other. Albeit actually empowering tools to ban engagement on a granular level.

Rather than argue with you about race, I want to point out it's not isolation and that the appearance of other servers and other forms of moderation, search, display of social media feeds is not either. It's part of a technology that's enables decentralization and empowering "us" the ...

I love "Wise" for international money transfers. My favorite thing about it maybe is that ~4 years ago they tried a brand name change from #Transferwise to just #Wise, but as a result it's brand emails mostly arrive in my inbox as "Wise (formerly Transferwise)" and so that's mostly how I know it!

Honestly, I wouldn't be as reductive to sports as comparing it to MAGA or the failings of the US constitution at this point. I also wouldn't give the democratic leadership a bye (to stretch a metaphor) either.

New from 404 Media: Apple just removed ICEBlock, the app for reporting sightings of ICE, from its App Store after DOJ pressure. ICEBlock's developer tells me "we are determined to fight this."
