NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.

So, best we share all the footage we can here!

This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred.

Once again the system has shown the public that it wasn't made by us, the people; but instead it was tailored to fit and feed the interest of those that had always been in power.

Denying that we have to take drastic measures to fix these institutions is asking for history to keep repeating it self.

So many journalists, researchers and fact-check organizations spent years lending time and legitimacy to Facebook. And this is how it ends.
It’s remarkable that Zuck said “the fact-checkers have just been too politically biased, and have destroyed more trust than they've created, especially in the U.S." He not only ended the partnership, he threw US fact checkers under the bus.

The reality is that #Trump is threatening all the U.S allies and refering to their neighbours as 'close security concerns' but the Venezuelan Dictatorship isn't.

When they talk, believe them on what they say and more importantly in what they are not.

The opposition leader of Venezuela, Edmundo González, who the U.S. recognizes as defeating President Nicolás Maduro in last year’s election, said that his son-in-law has been kidnapped in Caracas.

I thought Donald Trump repeatedly said Venezuela was safe now?
