Award-winning Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda has said she has been permanently banned from TikTok, days after the social media platform was acquired by new investors in the United States.

It's absolutely crazy.

Things are falling apart but I think / hope that the centre will hold.

It's a seismic shift though
If you aren't scared then you aren't paying attention

But Trump can be stopped, and one day we'll wake up free of his rotten existence.

So, raise a hope for better days

5. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions.

1934 speech on propaganda Nuremberg by Joseph Goebbels

The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Germany during the war was to accuse Germany of what our enemies themselves were doing. Even today, large parts of world opinion are convinced that the typical characteristics of German propaganda are lying, crudeness, reversing the facts, and the like. One needs only to remember the stories that were spread throughout the world at the beginning of the war about German soldiers chopping off children's hands and crucifying women to realize that Germany then was a defenseless victim of this campaign of calumny. It neither had nor used any means of defense.

Goebbels said at Nuremberg (1934) that one of the cleverest tricks used in propaganda was to accuse opponents of what you were doing yourself.

Since Trump era, this idea has been falsely attributed by alt-Right mouthpieces like Charlie Kirk to Saul Alinksy's 1971 book "Rules for Radicals"

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Is Steve Bannon referring to him going to prison if the GOP lose the midterms and 2028 because he's in the Epstein Files, or if it is about his part in "capturing the institutions" of the American government?
