All people deserve the right to self determination. That includes the people of Taiwan. Activists struggled under dictatorship and the white terror. When the chance came, they grabbed onto freedom from tyranny. They deserve peace, safety, and the freedom to choose their future.

Simple rules IMHO
a) the name should work for an adult
b) it shouldn't be a name easy to mock
c) try a name that has some meaning to your family or culture
d) think twice about naming them after pop culture things (corrolary to b and c)
e) ayvoid kreeativ spelyngz

Every so often (I mean frequently) I see a voter articulate their rationale in such a way that makes me want to smash a whole whiskey bottle across my head.

@Kni7es @FellaHrx69 @DogOnTheRoof Frothing racism, outright lies, and oligarch astroturfing. Got it.

Have people considered not dissecting the democrats’ playbook and just considered that the average voter is barely sentient?

Exclusive: There were more than 450,000 posts on X containing the words “conspiracy,” “hoax,” “staged,” or “false flag” in the 24 hours after the WHCD shooting, per an analysis by PeakMetrics provided to @CrookedMedia.

🧵THREAD: I want you to see this clearly.

Two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message.

The message was not "thank God the President is safe."

The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Here is what is documented and on the record.

The pay-to-play system exists. It runs through Republican consulting firms. It uses coordination chats on X. Influencers receive talking points and post them as their own.

The proof of one specific transaction would require subpoenaed records. The pattern, however, is visible to anyone scrolling X tonight.

Now here is the part I want you to sit with.

If you saw sixteen left-wing accounts post identical talking points within an hour of a national tragedy, you would call it a propaganda operation.

When sixteen right-wing accounts do it, the press calls it grassroots energy.

It is not grassroots energy. Ashley St. Clair told you what it is. Politico's December 2024 reporting confirmed it. The contracts exist. The chats exist. The platforms exist. The Campaign Legal Center has petitioned the FEC to require disclosure.

The FEC has not closed the loophole.

So tonight, after a man with multiple weapons charged a security checkpoint at an event with the President and most of the Cabinet, the first synchronized response from the largest MAGA voices on the platform was not concern.

It was a marketing campaign for a ballroom.

That is the pattern. The pattern is documented. The pattern is visible.

Never stop connecting the dots.
