Good one. That’s funny and horrifying at the same time.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about.

Would be a shame if it went viral.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
Yes, the new ownership is problematic. But no, I don’t think mass paper ballots will ever happen again. That is the problem. They are angling to control it all.
I wish this got more serious attention here. The concept is as simple as the East Wing demolition. It’s the destruction of free and fair elections. But the elite don’t run with it. Poor visuals I guess. Or they just don’t care.

Just insane thing for a NYT editor to say publicly:
I’ve read your threads for nearly a year - but I’ve known the uniparty was a problem long before that. Glad to see you are posting this. May I ask if it’s a new revelation? I‘be never seen you post similarly, but could’ve missed them. Just curious bc I’m hoping epiphanies are possible for everyone.
Excellent updates on this thread about Epstein and the locked files.
Thank you @wyden.senate.gov
New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.
Thanks but I’m sour on party inaction/arrogance. Term limits might help cycle out obtuse members. But, big money….
Other representative democracies have more than two parties. There is some good value to that. But big money…….
Thank you - my library had it.
Best video report I’ve seen on this by far. You’ll learn a lot if you watch this well-sourced short, enlightening documentary.
So well done. Thanks to you and your team.
