One thing I'd love to see on this platform is a teeny, tiny more self-awareness that this platform (which I use!) is *wildly* unrepresentative of broader popular opinion and concerns.

Current DOJ use of force policy states that even if the ICE officer did what Trump, Vance and others are claiming he did, that's still not allowed. From the policy here: www.justice.gov/archives/ag/...

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?
Previously, several of these companies, like Apple, IBM, and Disney, have paused advertising on X in response to antisemitic content. But antisemitism on X never slowed, sexual abuse imagery increased, and all of these companies quietly resumed advertising anyways.

Why isn't there a bigger Grok boycott?
Advertisers, politicians, and investors are still all-in on X, despite a sexual abuse crisis.

Asking anyone posting about #Venezuela to please double and triple source video, pix, etc. I have been innundated with fakes, some of them very good fakes, almost all from huge accounts. Seems like most are AI based on older protests against the current chavista regime. Just be diligent please.

Can't stress this enough - ICE told Renee Nicole Good to move and she did. Idiot ICE agent was standing right in front of her car. She swerved to avoid him as she dutifully followed the command and was shot in the face and killed.
The dipshit ICE agent was standing in front of the car when they yelled at her to move, and she did. And she did not hit him. And she was shot in the face at point blank range for doing what she was told to do by the US government.

‼️ Emily Heller, who was an eyewitness, is now speaking out to set the record straight.
Officers were screaming at Renee Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist.

In the long list of ignored warnings, this statement by Fiona Hill from 2019(!) deserves our attention (& shame). She explicitly describes Putin's 'Venezuela Swap' with Trump, for Ukraine. Putin's cries for his pall Maduro are as fake as Trump's care for the innocent people of Ukraine (& elsewhere).

What makes the regime-change operation in Venezuela morally worse than a typical regime change is that Trump doesn’t even plan to give the Venezuelan people a chance for a new leader or democracy.
He just kidnapped Maduro to seize their oil while leaving the regime in place

Smith: He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.

Make sure you take some of the anger you’re feeling right now and use it to contact your officials to demand impeachment now.
It’s basically the least we can possibly do in opposition to this, which IMO makes it mandatory.
