Can you elaborate? Cite sources? Provide evidence? The only thing I can find about it in the news are the claims you've made about it since last year. I'm not disagreeing with you - just looking for more info. Thanks.

MTG's recent pivot from unhinged white nationalist conspiracy monger to reasonable and sincere public servant sure is something to see.

She wants to run for President in '28.

This is the same Sally Jenkins who claims that some try to “decontextualize” Charlie Kirk’s words in order to smear him.

Sure. It would also help if they weren’t whiney, racist pricks who’d rather burn it all down than be reminded from time to time that slavery happened and trans people exist, etc.

A 2nd Trump admin was gonna be worse for everybody, everywhere, all at once, particularly for Gazans. Anybody w/ half a brain & a conscience knew this. So it's absolutely wild to see the Genocide Joe, Killer Kamala crowd still trying to justify their complicity in the current five-alarm fuckery.

But it is genocide, according to the criteria created by survivors of the holocaust.

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

content moderation will always be the most vital service any social media platform provides. anytime they try to side step the issue, or kick the can down the street, it ends in disaster.

the site that eventually gets this right will prevail, and it won't even be close.

"decentralized protocol" is such a funny thing for bluesky to bring up every time they fuck up - something already available on Mastodon, doesn't fully work here, almost nobody wants. its like if mcdonalds forgot how to make fries but they told everyone they had almost mastered the Mexican Pizza
