important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

Notice what they rally around - not unseating Susan Collins, but stopping Graham Platner.

As always, for the DSCC and the Democratic Party, it's more important to block the left than it is to defeat the right. One party standing together to protect corporate profits.

🚨 The DSCC — led by Kirsten Gillibrand, Mark Kelly, Adam Schiff, and Lisa Blunt Rochester — has formed a joint fundraising committee with Janet Mills.

Mills, running against Graham Platner in the Maine Democratic Senate primary, would become the oldest freshman (79) ever elected, to a 6-year term.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

New coal leases in the Powder River Basin have been paused after the first one had only a bid for 1/10th of a penny. They are trying to blame previous administrations, but the writing is on the wall. We should be supporting coal workers and communities not doing wtf this clown show is doing.

US postpones Wyoming coal lease sale after disappointing Montana auction

Say the words "portland" or "san francisco" to an autoplay-infected boomer and they will tell you this lurid tale of mad max post-apocalypse. They're convinced every city is a warzone.

Everyone *else* is trying to live their lives and these freaks think they're in mad max.

TFW tomat

A chef with his face angled down and his eyes angled up at the camera. A perhaps bemused expression on his face. He is holding a pot of presumably tomato sauce. On the work table in front of him are pots with four more sauces.

Hey buddy I'm gonna ask you to go listen to a little thing called "The Nixon Tapes", which is a sort of retro group chat dm leak, tell me how woke Tricky Dick and Ronnie Reagan come off afterwards. I await your report.

They have 100% always been this way, though notably the transition from helicopter rides and referencing crushing minorities abroad humorlessly transitioned to nazi shit, but like that's basically a new layer of paint instead of a new perspective.

For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That's why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed -because Young Republicans weren't radical enough.

I am tired of hearing how women are afraid
Join

If you check statistics, you will find out that men are the main victims of violent crime. Yet we keep hearing how many women are afraid for their safety. All men know you need to take some precautions, and do it. And yet, way too many people pretend men can walk around safely, while women need to be very cautious. Tell that to all the men who get assaulted, and/or killed on the streets.
Such morons are doing a disservice to women and men.
Women feel they are in more danger than they really are, which is stressful. And men are being treated as offenders simply based on their sex. It also prevent society to engage with the real issue of male on male violence as men are allegedly already safe.
It is so hard to check basic statistics?

"We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil" is an all-timer. Thank you Mr President, we appreciate your insights.

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

I believe that China purposefully not buying our Soybeans, and causing difficulty for our Soybean Farmers, is an Economically Hostile Act. We are considering terminating business with China having to do with Cooking Oil, and other elements of Trade, as retribution. As an example, we can easily produce Cooking Oil ourselves, we don’t need to purchase it from China.
