Interesting choice of music. “Do You Hear the People Sing?” from Les Misérables was an anthem of the 2019 mass protests in Hong Kong. Separately, Trump loves Les Mis and watched it at the Kennedy Center last year.

@CJRobichaud Please keeping it going Chris. Being Human was the best class I took in my entire year at Harvard. Essential for the time we’re living in.

The U.S. bases in Jordan are in the middle of nowhere, not surrounded by skyscrapers. This is an old video of the U.S. consulate in Dubai when it was hit by a drone.

USA TODAY is partnering with Palantir to de-anonymize & ID readers across 200 newspapers.

And turn them into "actionable intelligence."

That spy language from @USATODAY is a huge red flag.

I'm sure they are trying to stay profitable.

But media exists to hold power accountable.

Not to partner with defense intelligence contractors.

Or treat readers like intelligence targets.
