A tip came to us in an unusual way that Scientology's secret police are freaking out about the new Aftermath Foundation billboards in LA. Turns out it's true, and the Foundation's Claire Headley filled is in on the latest battle over the ads.

The single most clarifying piece of journalism about Russell Brand that I've encountered is this video from @abbierichards.bsky.social. She charts Russell Brand's political evolution through his video content, and shows just how profitable a right wing grift can be.

Wow: TWENTY new billboards targeting Scientology going up in LA
