Agreed Inge. But knowledge is power. First we learn what we are up against. Then we fight back.

The name of Trump's latest military foray reminds us they are a bunch of small boys drunk on power.
‘Operation Epic Fury’ is the kind of name my lads would have given their garden war games with Lego helicopters & Playmobile warships.
Except they were 7yrs & didn't wipe out a classroom of kids.

The political effects of X’s feed algorithm - Nature
Among users initially on a chronological feed, 7 weeks of exposure to X’s algorithmic feed in 2023 shifted political attitudes and account-following behaviour in a more conservative direction compared...
Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

I hate to have to ask but, frankly, what are the chances of women and girls not being subject to varying kinds of abuse at the detention centres, some of it along Epstein lines (see, e.g. growing allegations regarding Dilly's Blue Butterfly Zones)?

Judges decry treatment of nursing and pregnant detainees in ICE custody
The agency has declined to say whether a Biden-era policy largely barring detention for pregnant and nursing mothers remains in force.
NEW: Judges are asking increasingly pointed questions about why ICE is detaining pregnant/nursing mothers — and whether a 2021 policy sharply restricting the practice remains in force.
They’ve ordered many released, warning of threats to safety/health.

This is an incredible piece by @smencimer.bsky.social that really gets to the heart of—and the numbers that demonstrate—how terribly Trump is screwing over the communities that offered him the most support
