Oh, it's quite easy. Become associated with a national security advisor. Get your contact on his phone. Bamboozle them. Sit back and watch as they sneak you into the chat without you even having to ask? Simple!
That's a beautiful piece of art. I can imagine myself sitting on a porch, basking in the moment.
Out of curiosity as a editor-journo-consultant in South Africa, I'd be fascinated to know how you produce and distribute something of this scale without the oft-cited options like Sub stack.
Are you doing everything independently?
Many are mourning the Death of the American Dream. James Adams coined it in 1931 as "not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each person can attain their fullest potential, regardless of birth circumstances."(Paraphrased).
Is this the Dream for you?

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 39

So the big "fight back" against Trump in the US is a 24 hour shopping boycott today?
I don't know how to say this diplomatically, but I think you are going to have to dig a little deeper than that, my revolutionary friends.
"co-equal" shouldn't it just be "equal" ? Co-equal is not a word. Very odd phrase.
Trump can say what he likes about my South Africa, but I say to him and his spawn: eggs don't cost $9 a dozen here. So fok you!
Perhaps Trump can now clear all the Ukrainians out of Ukraine and flatten the bits of Ukraine Moscow hasn't already wiped out and turn it into a TrumpLand Black Sea resort paradise. It should have a special Putin ride called "Kiss Your Arse Goodbye".
Is there no one prepared to resist his lunacy.
What crap is this that the Washington Post have come up with? It's like it was dreamed up by a teenager.
They obeyed in advance…AGAIN!

The Washington Post killed off its "Democracy Dies In Darkness" slogan.

New slogan: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”
Democracy Dies In Darkness was better. They should have died defending that.
This tweet, supposedly by Musk, has been shared a lot here and as amusing as it is I'm wondering if it is legit? I've trawled through his X feed (bleeding eyes, thank you) and I cannot see this on it.
Has anyone confirmed this is real thing?
An amusing little ditty about that sad son of our soil.
Enjoy (and consider sharing if you like it) "Elon Musk," by Hounds! 🎧

Happy Festivus, one and all!
Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.
Another former South African covering us in glory...It's like Trump's America is catnip for them.

A carbon copy of our guy Colton. Does the same thing. Twice a day.
Massad Boulos, Tiffany Trumps father-in-law and named as Trump's Middle East adviser, is portrayed as a billionaire lawyer. Records show he’s neither: SCOA Nigeria PLC, his business, made under $66,000 profit last year, and his stake is worth $1.53. Pass another bowl of popcorn.
