Well, it’s working — the Epstein files stay tucked away, neat and silent. Perfect system: secrets in velvet boxes, accountability in the lost-and-found. Cool. We’ll keep pretending that’s acceptable. NOT!

DEFCON 33… and why my 30th might be my last. 🧵
I’ve been going to DEFCON since DEFCON 3 — this year was #DEFCON33. Do the math.
That’s three decades of heat, chaos, linecon, and watching people discover that “defcon Wi-Fi” and “reliable” are still mortal enemies.

I’m going to be building a thread of protest footage and content I can find as the afternoon and evening unfold from LA
Back to the federal building, the protestors have exploded in numbers and are approaching the building again
This is WAY BIGGER than any previous protest. The national guard is instigating far LARGER of a response and the feds are LOSING.
