🔉What dangers does X pose to our democracy? And should the government stop using it?
Good to hear yesterday from @sundersays.bsky.social and @petergeoghegan.bsky.social on the immense risk of X as it ignores legal obligations and its owner tries to influence UK politics.

Just before the 2010 election, I heard an interview with a BNP guy by Stephen Nolan on 5Live.
Nolan started the interview by saying he wouldn't be asking about immigration but the other BNP policies.
BNP guy was floored and babbled nonsense for 10 minutes.
The BBC should try the tactic with Farage.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments.
If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

So let me understand this, the orange felon decided to hurt Americans with his trade war tariffs and is now caving to China because he didn’t think they’d retaliate. He’s a dangerous stupid con artist.
