Under Trump, Big Tech Decides Who Deserves Protection and Who Gets Iced Out | TechPolicy.Press

Must the public make only meek requests for accountability and transparency? That is not democracy, writes Dean Jackson.

Trump:
-Fails to stop Russia from invading Ukraine
-Fails to stop Netanyahu from genociding Palestinians
-Bombs Venezuelan boats, killing 27 innocent people
-Bombs Colombian boats, & threatens more bombs
-Tries to take credit for resolving India/Pakistan, both reject him

Demands Nobel Peace Prize🤔

In case you missed it. Trump & Co. mocked Gov. Newsom over his alarm at firing live artillery shells over a major expressway. Fortunately Newsom closed I-5.

What MAGA types don't seem to grasp:

If the millions who marched yesterday were anything like MAGA, the govt would have been overthrown yesterday and MAGA would be under a different kind of dictatorship.

But we're not like that. We actually do respect the Constitution and what it represents.

(shouting to the press secretary) Can you confirm whether the diarrhea was pre-loaded onto the aircraft or was it coming directly from the president's Ass?

Imagine Harris posting a video of her in a military jet, crown on head, dumping shit on rural Texans after a Tea Party rally. We would not hear the end of it.

Double checking there were no violent insurrections, beating up of cops, pro-Nazi shirts, and smearing of shit in state Capitols today across the country during the massive NO KINGS protests, right?

Because that's what Trump supporters did on January 6th to overthrow a free and fair election.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.

He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

The *how* of #NoKings is impeachment.

Don't just say No Kings. Say how to get there.

Impeach, convict, remove.

Head to a protest today. I can almost promise you will feel less hopeless. That's exactly what they don't want. There are more of us than there are of them.

George Santos is the 10th GOP Congressman to get a pardon or clemency from President Trump. The other nine were also all convicted of various criminal charges:

A mere 19 months ago, Trump’s net worth was $2.6B, and he owed hundreds of millions in civil penalties. Today, Trump is worth $7.1B, and most of the civil penalties have been tossed out.

Presidential politics is by far the most lucrative business venture of Trump’s career. trib.al/BZC3lZB

Pritzker and Democrat governors need to authorize their law enforcement to hold ICE accountable for unlawful use of force. They absolutely have the right.

How much more terror do people have to experience at the hands of Trump's Gestapo?

The insulin patent was sold by Frederick Banting for $1.

The Canadian who discovered insulin everyone to be able to access life saving medication.

In the US it’s financially out of reach for many people.

California is changing that.

I hope other states follow suit.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 3d

It costs ~$70 to produce a year’s supply of insulin.

Yet, the average annual cost of insulin went from $2,864 in 2012 to $5,705 in 2016 to $18,000 in 2025. A 25,714% markup. That isn’t inflation or supply chain—It’s corporate greed.

Now—California will sell insulin for $11. Make this nationwide!

Anti-Communist Club
Is Formed by Coughlin
ROYAL OAK, Mich., Sept. 17.-(U.P.)—The Rev. Charles E. Cough-lin today announced formation of a children's anti-Communist club in which communism will be taught to
"expose its fallacies."
"We take the candy from the pill and show what's inside," the priest said "It is the first such club to be formed and we hope it will spread all over America."
The club will function in the school maintained by Father Coughlin's parish of the Shrine of the Little Flower.
