Today I had to block several accounts questioning an earlier response to AOC, where I stated a well-known fact, namely that a well funded industry of troll farms, fake news factories, click farms exists. It IS used daily in a scientific manner to gaslight millions.👇

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.
They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.
They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.

The regime is now hunting for journalists and for their lists of contacts.
It’s not avout borders or skin colour any more: it’s about creating massive databases of dissent, just like in the Soviet Republic, Romania, East Germany…

Looks like Trump is doing a little resume-building.
Submitted without a comment to his Truth Social a little after 8 PM ET on Sunday night, the president posted a screen grab of what looks like his Wikipedia page, but directly under his official photo is the title, “Acting President of Venezuela.”

Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:
Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.
To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.
