babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

“Can’t believe NYC elected a Muslim as mayor.”
In truth—a Black American Christian woman swearing in a Ugandan American Muslim of South Asian ethnicity as his Syrian American wife holds the Qurans he swears in on, all while standing on the steps of a subway station—is the most NYC thing imaginable.

Goddamn this is good, and also a way to fire up the real journalists working, and fighting, to tell the truth.
As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:

Mass non-cooperation like strikes and boycotts are the most effective means of fighting back against authoritarian regimes.
Elites who oppose strikes and boycotts do not understand what it will take to revive democracy.

Even if MTG somehow changed and doesn't believe in qanon anymore, she should still be excluded from politics and any sphere of influence.
If she can get conned into believing that the jews/the dems are literally kidnapping children and then murdering them for their blood?
She is past delusional.

I don’t know if the US did an airstrike on Venezuela on Christmas Eve. What I do know is a USAF Stratotanker (midair refueler for bombers & fighter jets) took off from MacDill about 7pm local, turned off all signals & didn’t turn them on again til final approach 7 hours later. And that’s abnormal.

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

This, combined with "vice signaling" (taking pride in antisocial behavior) has given us the reign of the Stupid Asshole, something most people are against, but can only be remedied if we're not too polite to talk about it
An essential development over the past decade-plus is that the ignorant went from feeling chastened when their ignorance was revealed to banding together and deciding that, actually, they were right. They might disagree at times, but they agreed that ignorance itself was an indicator of trust.
