People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

We are all being left to our own capabilities in every facet of life. 🙏🏽

Smdh!

Half of them really are.

Facts!

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ?

It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI

He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone.

If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

Donald Trump wants to pick and choose which journalists are allowed in his press pool.

This is what dictators do.

NEW: Special counsel Jack Smith used his final report to say Trump is not exonerated for his "unprecedented criminal effort" to retain power in 2020.

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.
