If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

With every single insane post Trump makes, he becomes less powerful. Less believable. Less authoritarian.

So we know that Trump intervened to make Ghislaine Maxwell's life easier.
And that he intervened to make Andrew Tate's life easier.
I wonder how many sex traffickers Donald has gone out of his way to help that we don't know about.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.
“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.
He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.
Release the transcript.

Some very interesting Epstein analysis in this thread. This particular data science technique is often very useful - even more so if it can be augmented with content sentiment factors so that each node has both attractor and repulsor interactions with the other nodes.
A short thread of observations using Max Andrew's tool to explore the network of relationships revealed in the Epstein estate email cache. @thatsjustlikeyouropinionman.com

The generous interpretation is that Larry Summers is a sex creep. A less generous interpretation is that he's a sexual harasser. The least generous interpretation is that he's a sexual predator.

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It divides Republicans much more than "affordability" or any other economic issue.

The New York Times successfully keeps bamboozling people because they still do some pretty good reporting, sometimes on things the GOP doesn’t like, even - but if you look at their overall body of work over the last 10 years, a very clear picture of their agenda emerges.

Government theft and personal enrichment at every level. The only Repubs who are real conservatives are the Never Trumpers.
A confidant of Bill Pulte provided confidential mortgage pricing data from Fannie Mae to a principal competitor, alarming officials of the govt-backed lending giant who warned it could expose Fannie Mae to claims it was colluding with a rival to fix mortgage rates.
The alarmed officials got fired.
The alarmed officials got fired.

I think Democrats should talk more about Trump trying to block the "Epstein videos" the "Epstein photos" because I really don't think he's that worried about his name showing up on yet another list, that he can spin. Also, "files" sounds so clerical.
