Join my campaign and let’s Make Gaza Great Again!
I much prefer Al-Qaeda or ISIS with nuclear weapons over China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, etc. with social media dominance.
Yes, it’s that dangerous.
CCP, Russia, Iran, etc. have a modern understanding of this aspect of warfare and we are still in the mindset of “social media is bad because the youth act silly and its entertainment isn’t educational and some stuff isn’t true on there.”

Weapons of Mass Destruction are a category bc of their capacities to destroy lives and property en masse.
These weapons destroy minds & civil society en masse—and, therefore indirectly, lives & property en masse.
Designate Russia as a State Sponsor of Terrorism.
Yesterday.
US companies pay taxes to Russia, which Russia then uses to fund drones and missiles to kill Ukrainians.

The Russian disinformation network “Matryoshka” has launched a new campaign on Bluesky. Eliot Higgins, founder of the investigative journalism group Bellingcat, has been one of the first researchers to detect its activity. So far, four Russian-made fake videos have been identified on the platform.

“In a polarized nation, one point of agreement deserves more attention: Young adults say they feel woefully unprepared for life in the work force, and employers say they’re right,” write the authors Jenny Anderson and Rebecca Winthrop.
“Celebrating a murder and turning an accused killer into a sex symbol and a cult hero, a modern-day Robin Hood, requires an astonishing level of dehumanization,” writes @peter-wehner.bsky.social:

We need to make public figures feel embarrassed about their self-constructed echo chambers.
At one point, while she was really focused on bashing Ukraine and supporting Russia, I looked to see which accounts she followed in order to understand where her information and views were coming from.
She only followed ONE account on the issue and it was the official account of Putin.
I wonder if she asked Jones about his use of the N-word.

Of the only 89 accounts she follows on X, one of them is Dan Bilzerian, seen below.
He recently took part in producing an explicitly pro-Hitler, Holocaust denial film.

I found this post indicating that Candace Owens will be releasing a video promoting Holocaust denial next month.
Matt Gaetz starts a dating app.
Name the app.

We might ditch the SDF/Kurds in favor of Erdogan & HTS, and it’s going to go down in history as a massive strategic & moral failure.

#MBS said something like “The Jews deserve to have their own homeland just like the Palestinians do” & was referring to Israel.
I only noticed it bc I read the transcript & scrolled down far enough to see where he made this historical statement so matter-of-factly that it was actually funny.
BIG: Ha’aretz reporting #Israel & #SaudiArabia have made a big breakthrough towards normalization.
This is HUGE news but I’m still amazed that virtually no one noticed that #MBS essentially recognized #Israel’s right to exist in an interview long ago.
