Trump's confession today:
"... he's a popular guy, and he was very effective and he knows those computers better than anybody, all those computers, those vote counting computers and we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide, so it's pretty good. So thank you to Elon."

Elon is actively trying to suppress this account, and this video.
They're losing and they're trying to steer the narrative by censoring. Post this video everywhere. Fuck Elon. Fuck Trump.

Wolf: What hasn’t been discussed publicly, to my knowledge, is the fact that, in my opinion, President Trump committed a crime in negotiating the settlement agreement in this case and it’s possible that Mr. Blanche would be found to be a co-conspirator in that crime. Let me try to explain…

Congress enacted a statute that makes it illegal for the president or the vice president to directly or indirectly request the initiation or termination of a tax investigation. There’s a potential five-year prison term for violating that statute.

Donald Trump would not have immunity from criminal prosecution for violating that statute in this case because he filed this lawsuit in his personal capacity. Therefore, negotiating the settlement was not an official act for which he has immunity as president.

So, in this case, he was negotiating essentially with himself. As Judge Williams said in Trump v. IRS—a case in which I’m one of the 35 plaintiffs who, through excellent lawyers, persuaded the court to reopen the case and find that this was not a genuine case—it wasn’t a real case or controversy that was legitimately in federal court. It was a collusive case brought for an improper purpose: to get a personal benefit for President Trump, his family, and his allies.

One of my longest-standing arguments is that we are not living in Orwell’s 1984, where truth is centrally suppressed and censored by force (that’s former communist societies, modern-day China, Russia, North Korea).

We are living in something much closer to Huxley’s Brave New World.

The truth is not hidden - it is almost always readily available. But it is buried beneath an industrial quantity of noise: propaganda, outrage, half-truths, conspiracy theories, influencer theatre, algorithmic rage bait and an endless stream of content designed not to inform us, but to keep us emotionally stimulated.

The modern information system does not need to censor the truth when it can simply drown it in noise.

A fact no longer has to be disproven - it only has to be surrounded by a hundred competing claims, stripped of context and nuance, turned into partisan ammunition and pushed into the same feed as celebrity gossip, memes and 15 second videos engineered to deliver the fastest possible dopamine hit. By the time the truth reaches us, it appears as just another piece of content competing for our attention.

That is the more sophisticated form of control: not preventing people from knowing, but exhausting their capacity to care.

Orwell feared a world in which people would be deprived of information. Huxley feared a world in which they would be given so much distraction, stimulation and triviality that they would lose the desire to seek it.

The defining struggle of our age is therefore not simply between truth and censorship, but between truth and indifference.

[Interesting things @awkwardgoogle]

The guy who created Fortnite (Tim Sweeney) has been quietly buying up U.S. forests to save them from developers.

He has spent over $200M to buy 50,000+ acres of wilderness in North Carolina, using permanent legal protections to block any future logging or building.

Personally, I love hearing Steve Bannon say it. I love hearing Mike Johnson say it. I especially love hearing Stephen Miller say it.
I love it when ANY of the sociopathic Trump acolytes and ideologs allege that if they lose the midterms, every one of them will be investigated and face accountability.
THAT is EXACTLY what the majority of America NEEDS to hear. It certainly motivates the shit out of me.

[medoyid_ua @LetsArmUKR]

Zelenskyy is crystal clear: the entire world with any decency left is watching Ukraine for one reason only - to see us annihilate this Russian filth once and for all. Despite having fewer weapons, fewer resources, and fighting against a barbaric enemy that throws meat assaults and terror at everything that moves, Ukrainians keep delivering results that stun the world.

Every pure heart globally is united in this single demand: crush the scum. No negotiations, no half-measures, no mercy for the invaders who came to erase us.

We will deliver that victory. The Russian cancer will be burned out of our land.
