@MarozzoEspa I went all the way down the rabbit hole on this one. Thanks for the post.
It also led me to your other posts --mostly swords and HEMA but other fun stuff as well. Your pinned character/nom de guerre is fire. Followed.

An REI co-op member sitting peacefully in her camp chair -- reading a book, wearing a hand-painted "Boycott REI" shirt, warmly greeting customers -- got arrested by six police officers yesterday at REI's Seattle flagship.

That's who REI called the cops on.

Tonight, after a year of screaming about holding ICE accountable, 144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to pass CORCA, a bill that grants DHS and ICE sweeping new power to collect American citizens' personal information under the guise of combating retail theft.

what happened over the past few days is pretty amazing. The Israeli regime knew Nick Kristof was going to publish his NYT piece on their actual systematic rape of Palestinians including children and the use of dogs to rape, so they fabricated a new "report", the most insane one yet copy-pasted together by a proven fraud that repeats all the already debunked falsehoods and relies entirely on known proven hoaxers, and they actually got the NYT, BBC, CNN, AP, Reuters to launder it for them a day after the Kristof piece came out to bury it. They own the entire media class completely.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.

No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.

Here's how it works.

@DarrigoMelanie I make just slightly less than that. My field is Special Education --an absolutely essential part of public education that society does not want to pay to support. It's at the point where I can't even afford to live in the community I serve.

[Oleksandr Chase Car @OlekChaseCar]

I did what 99% of creators think is impossible - I legally defeated YouTube.

How does YouTube react? They're pretending it never happened.

Let me tell you a story that proves the system is designed to crush creators - even when you WIN legal case and the law is on your side 👇

➡️ June 2024: My channel "Chase Car" (20k subs) gets demonetized for "reused content."
I appeal. A HUMAN reviewer checks everything - my editing timeline, voiceovers, scripts.
They email me: "This is original content, you follow all the guidelines." Monetization restored. I'm relieved. A human verified me. I'm safe now.

➡️ November 2024: I wake up to find my entire channel TERMINATED. Same content. Same videos. Different result. Reason: "Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies".

Wait... what? A human JUST cleared me months ago. Since I was verified by a YouTube employee, I knew my content was fine. I was creating EV news/car review videos that the YouTube Team had already accepted. Yet, the AI bot didn't care this time.

I appeal → INSTANT rejection from the AI bot.

Most creators give up here. But as a European Union citizen, I have the opportunity to defend myself as a creator using European Union law. I filed a formal case with ADROIT, an official European Union certified dispute body.

March 2025: Case filed.
July 23, 2025: Decision arrives (attached)

The verdict:
✅ "Complaint is UPHELD"
✅ "YouTube's termination was NOT RIGHTFUL"
✅ "YouTube failed to specify violating content" and my channel should be reinstated.

An independent legal body ruled YouTube was WRONG. The best part? YouTube defended itself during the process but could not show what I had violated. I WON.

Here's where it gets terrifying - My channel is STILL terminated.

I've been emailing YouTube's legal team for 4 MONTHS. Bot replies and complete silence.

I never gave up; I fought fairly for my rights as a creator using the tools I had, and I won fair and square. Yet, they're acting like it never happened and the decision doesn't exist.

Think about that for a moment. Even when you:
➡️ Follow every rule
➡️ Have a YouTube employee confirm that your content follows the policies
➡️ Win an official legal case
➡️ Have a documented decision that your channel should be reinstated
...YouTube's AI system just ignores you, and contacting a human is impossible.

If they can do this to me AFTER I won, what chance does any creator have?

I'm not giving up. I am filing a complaint with the Irish regulator @CNaM_ie to force YouTube to honor the decision.

But I need your help: RT this and tag @TeamYouTube .
Make them respond, so they can't pretend this isn't happening.

Because if they can ignore a legal ruling, no creator is safe.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Republicans in North Carolina are so ashamed of what they did with redistricting, they erased this speech by NC State Senator @MichaelKGarrett from the official record.

Every CIA coup in Latin America from 1947-2002 to enforce Washington’s hegemony with an iron fist by installing fascist dictatorships and disastrous neoliberalism to create favourable conditions for US corporations to cheaply extract resources.

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

This official government account would appear to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will likely attack anyone who points this out and express faux-outrage at the suggestion.

Elon banned us because he doesn't want you to see the truth.

Jane Goodall was my first childhood hero, as I loved animals as a kid and was inspired by her story. I still remember the National Geographic specials about her. RIP.
