Look at this shit. They're talking about teenage boys sperm count and girls hitting puberty early. How the fuck can Dems not run this shit 24/7 in ads and every time they see a TV camera. This is disturbing and disgusting
RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

anyway while I have no solid proof here, I think it's sensible to conclude that being on Vichy Twitter greatly increases your vulnerability to Nazi data theft criminals. I would assume they have backend access to all your account data
government records plus twitter ad delivery data, social graph, and account data would get you pretty comprehensive coverage

it hadn't even occurred to me, but: is Elon giving the Nazi data theft criminals access to government records DOGE stole? bsky.app/profile/tedd...
giving the range of points of attack, you gotta wonder what sort of identity graph the doxxers have been given access to

yeah, the activity attach rate for alexa was atrocious because the utility just isn’t there + significant amount of owners received the devices as a gift. the shopping UX is and was always bad and voice control has a very poor economy of motion vs actual controls
I interviewed at MS back in 2017 and they were obsessed with getting people to talk to their computers. nearly the entire onsite round was dedicated to exploring “why do people use Amazon’s alexa but they don’t use Cortana”. I pushed back on the assertion that people use them at all

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now
what even happened on the other site this time

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone.

And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

BREAKING via WSJ

The Trump administration is planning sweeping changes in criminal division at the IRS.

Full Story: on.wsj.com/3LbVFtK
The Trump administration is preparing sweeping changes at the Internal Revenue Service that would allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left-leaning groups more easily, according to people familiar with the matter.
A senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that includes major Democratic donors, some of the people said.
The undertaking aims to install allies of President Trump at the IRS criminal-investigative division, or IRS-CI, to exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations, officials said. The proposed changes could open the door to politically motivated probes and are being driven by Gary Shapley, an adviser to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

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.

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.

Imagine the media reaction if a single Democrat ever said anything like this ever once in history.
After bragging about permanently cutting "Democrat programs," Trump says "we're not closing up Republican programs."
