The Blake Lively story that isn't being told It’s easy to manipulate what people see on social media—or don’t.

this is a great piece from @kattenbarge.bsky.social dissecting the smear campaign against blake lively. even subreddits that advocated for amber heard turned on lively. i wonder why. spitfirenews.com/p/the-blake-...

Three screenshots of Reddit comments containing information about Jed Wallace that have been downvoted into negative values. The first says “Let the record reflect, that's Jed Avery Wallace of Street Relations, Inc, based in Northridge, CA. He somehow got his full name obscured even in the NY Times article, and tries to keep himself invisible; he has deleted his Linkedin, and I wouldn't be surprised if he creates a new shell corp now that this one is tainted. He seems to have a team using Reddit for PR campaigns. Everyone say ‘Hi, Jed Wallace’! Edit: It's 8 am in Northridge and looks like they just woke up. This was at +10, and now it's suddenly negative. Let the downvotes flow!” It had -82 downvotes at the time of being screenshot. Another with -5 downvotes says “That is so weird, Jed Wallace also has connections to the Hollywood addiction industry. Jed was even involved in a lawsuit from Bam Margera for essentially designing/enforcing a treatment program without any professional knowledge about addiction lol.” Finally, one with -4 downvotes says “He appears to work closely with different rehab institutions and personalities. Bob Forrest, Heather Hayes to name a couple, Alo House Recovery Centers: https:// www.globenewswire.com/news-release/ 2018/10/23/1625728/0/en/Alo-House-Recovery- Centers-Named-Malibu-s-Best-Addiction-Treatment-Center-for-Second-Straight-Year.html He was also a consulting producer on a reality show "Intervention: Codependent" https:// www.imdb.com/name/nm7955463/ Another Street Relations gig here: https:// file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/dbh/docs/ 146466_POHUnveiling Release519.pdf”

Four screenshots of Reddit comments containing the link to a Business Insider piece about Freedman that were downvoted into the negatives. One of them has -13 downvotes and says “testing” along with “Link to paywall-free article about Bryan Freedman and the SA allegations against him https://archive.ph/2022.11.17-021646/https://www.businessinsider.com/bryan-freedman-hollywood- lawyer-sexual-assault-lawsuit-college-2022-11.” Another two comments just contain the link and have -8 and -10 downvotes. Another has -12 downvotes and says “Seriously, google Baldoni's lawyer. here's an article on it. Anybody who picks THAT guy to defend you, when this information is a Google away, is a scumbag as far as l'm concerned.”

In December, the actress took legal action against her blockbuster co-star and director for sexual harassment and retaliation. Afterward, I noticed that Reddit comments involving key figures in her lawsuit were being downvoted en masse. spitfirenews.com/p/the-blake-...

Period

pro tip: don’t call something a “debate” when one side is just trying to defend their human rights and the other is trying to punish their existence.

‘Fund the Police’ Backfired—and Gave Trump More Power Than Ever Democrats spent the last four years running away from police reform and instead chanted "fund the police." They lost.

Wrote about how four years of “Fund the Police!” did zero for the Democrats except legitimize GOP talking points, depress Dem voter turnout, hand Trump a well-funded police state, and make the world a crueler, more violent place. An abject failure. theappeal.org/fund-the-pol...

Folks, I am seeing an influx of accounts on here whose sole or main purpose is to smear Amber Heard. Block on SIGHT.

The idea that countries at all have a right to exist is so silly. People have a right to exist, countries are fake things we made up theoretically to serve the needs of the people within their borders.

Krassenstein: X is no longer allowing users to hide their blue checks. Hiding your verified blue checkmark on X is like getting front row seats at a concert but sitting in the back because you don't want people to think you can afford the good tickets.

It’s more like you went to a concert at the bar from Green Room and are like damn thank goodness I’m in the back so I can escape, here’s Patrick Stewart doing a weird southern accent

The refusal to prosecute and punish meaningful amounts of rape, sexual assault, or various other kinds of gendered violence means that women de facto inhabit a Hobbesian state of nature with regard to the men they encounter in private life and we have all decided this is fine and normal 🤪

the same mind* Dyslexia. *throws confetti*

not surprised. they used the same legal reasoning that barred the jury at my friend's rapist's trial from knowing that there were many other victims
