I don't think we give enough credence to the impact our social media use, combined with a slanted algorithm, can have on our views.
Small changes to ‘for you’ feed on X can rapidly increase political polarisation

Absolutely criminal action.
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

The reality, of course, is that Miller and a significant portion of Trump’s base are the ones who failed to assimilate to America’s post-WWII culture of multi-racial democracy & religious pluralism…and they are now using their power to destroy that once dominant (and still popular) American culture.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right.

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

Nursing home magnate Joseph Schwartz was sentenced in April to 3 years for defrauding the government of $38 million.
Around that time, he reportedly paid $960,000 to lobbyists “seeking a federal pardon.”
Trump pardoned him earlier this month.

It sure was a 'Wizard of Oz' moment when Twitter gave us a peek behind the curtain to see where accounts were based. We need to be very savvy about what we see and why it is being presented to us. I refuse to have my emotions manipulated by AI rage-baiting algorithms.
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

This is the video that enraged Trump so much that he called for these Democratic lawmakers to be hanged.
They served our country, and now the President wants them dead because they said something he didn't like. We cannot become numb to these disgusting calls for political violence.
