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. 🧵

With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Watching him destroy the country to steal more money for him & his rich, evil friends makes me wonder wtf people thought “a businessman running the country” would look like. Have these people never once taken a breath in the US? Please never trust your brain again. It’s bad.

Peter Thiel looks and acts far more like the antichrist than Greta Thunberg

Greta Thunberg wants to help people and help the planet

Peter Thiel has funded the most far right evil people, and wants to destroy American democracy and the rule of law and have a tech fascist dictatorship in America

Wilson Dizard III @wpd3.bsky.social · 21h

[Excerpt:] Tech billionaire Peter Thiel recently warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg & critics of tech or AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures on Christianity that linked government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

Inside billionaire Peter Thiel’s private lectures: Warnings of ‘the Antichrist’ and U.S. destruction

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

It’s hard to award the Nobel Peace Prize to a guy that maybe brokered a temporary peace deal after he ordered 500 tons of nutrient rich biscuits destroyed instead of saving the lives of desperate, starving babies.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Russia's war aim is to annihilate Ukrainians as a people and to make a colony of all Ukrainian land.

There is no "deal" that can possibly stop Russian imperialism. Only the total defeat of the Russian invaders and their unconditional surrender can stop it.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
