The Israeli government has said explicitly that they see social media control as their most important war -- especially in the US -- and will use a combination of censorship and buying up platforms and influencers (like they did with TikTok and CBS) to re-propganized Americans:
Remember when I was threatened by LibsOfTikTok and you shared the post, so I sent you a message in good faith asking you to please take it down because I was scared for my safety, and then you responded by sharing my private message and mocking my fear?
I remember.
Buried in a DOJ court filing on Friday is the part of this story that hasn't gotten enough attention.
The Department of Homeland Security is now exploring coordinating with the USPS to monitor mail-in ballot flows, identify anomalies, and generate "authorized investigative leads." The postal service - created by Congress as an independent entity - is being evaluated as a surveillance and investigation tool for federal law enforcement, applied specifically to Americans who vote by mail.
That is a separate track from the voter eligibility list story. Both are running simultaneously. The March 31 executive order requires states to submit lists of voters who have requested absentee ballots for federal eligibility approval before those ballots can be sent. On May 29, USPS began drafting compliance plans. Election officials in California and Wisconsin have already documented slower ballot delivery times since the policy changes began.
The NAACP sued Thursday, arguing the new rule violates a 2021 court-enforced settlement in which USPS agreed to protect mail-in voting and prioritize timely ballot delivery through 2028 - a binding legal commitment the agency is now moving to undermine. A federal judge in a separate case has expressed being "very concerned" about the harm the order could impose on voters.
The American Postal Workers Union's statement named what this actually is: "The Postal Service serves all Americans - regardless of party, religion, or race. It is not a tool for politicians to pick which Americans get which benefits." That sentence is a legal argument and a civic one. The postal workers who sort and deliver ballots in Elkhart and Fort Wayne and rural Hamilton County are being asked to participate in a process their own union has called unconstitutional. That matters.
Has everyone lost their fucking minds? Trump himself didn’t even crack 30% w LA voters 8 months ago… but you all think a pudgy, widely disliked reality has-been was going to garner MORE votes than Trump did?
The new Social Security Trustees report shows that the program's shortfall is getting closer.
Why?
Trump's tax breaks for the rich cut into Social Security's revenue.
Experts say it moved the depletion date up by SIX MONTHS.
We are being scammed.
