This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

Love that NYT decided to lead the daily newsletter with postseason baseball. "Also, 'No Kings' protests." Top-shelf gaslighting.
Oh totally and did you read it? It could not have been more grudging. It was the dictionary definition of grudging. "Thousands" turned out. GFY NYT.
Hey, you know what's awesome? CNN is actually covering the crap out of this today. #NoKings
Fuck ALL of them who tried to pretend they cared about free speech when all they ever wanted was hate speech without consequences. They were full of shit then and they always will be. And yes, I know they will find a way to defend this because they have no center and they have no bottom.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

just read the quote and where he situates himself vis à vis “citizens”
Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

What's so funny is that climate tech is right here with a TAM of a whole-ass planet. But tell me more about all that Saudi investment, Silicon Valley.

Honestly, I'm pretty stoked that Nexstar and Sinclair are stepping out from behind the Disney shield. Everybody ignored it when religious fanatics started buying local news stations and forcing anchors to read political propaganda on-air. But these are the names.

I want everyone to take a step back for a second, remember why she was fired from New York and juxtapose this w/ all the high profile media folks that have recently lost *their* jobs. *Some* people are allowed to fail upwards. It's mesmerizing.
These people really will look anywhere but plastics, won't they.
Media conglomeration
Sinclair *specifically*
Digital surveillance
Disinformation
Coordinated bot campaigns of harassment and fake grassroots outrage
El*n being a dick
Anti-vaxxers
Climate change

At this moment I'm just a little fucking irritated about how long we have warned on ALL of this.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
Tell me you're confident the media will fall in line without telling me you're confident the media will fall in line.
And probably also reading my texts. But either way, extrapolate this to Palantir and you realize this is not entirely a thread about owls.
Like I bet my friend has searched for information about Almaty Kazakhstan on sites that use Facebook cookies and of course Facebook knows that we are friends and I like owls so it's like oh hey here's a thing you have in common, isn't that nice? Like a grand surveillance cocktail party.
