Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

One of the greatest threats to internet freedom and privacy are these manipulative laws, now spreading, that force people to prove they're of a certain age to use social media platforms and other sites. The UK Government, naturally, is now seeking this.
The defense of these laws is emotionally powerful by appealing to child protection, but the real goal is online surveillance, an end to anonymity, and control over political content that young people can access. Few have done a better job reporting on these tyrannical threats than @TaylorLorenz. Read this:
One of the few differences between the Iraq War and the Iran War is that Bush/Cheney and the neocon crew felt compelled to spend a year deceiving Americans to support it.
Trump just started it without even bothering with the pretense of Congressional or popular support:
The people who supported Israel committing a genocide for two years are suddenly very concerned about human rights violations in the Middle East, and it coincidentally happens to be with the regime that is Israel’s chief regional rival. But don’t let that fuck with you.

The man behind the digital ID push is Larry Ellison, owner of Oracle, CBS, CNN, and, soon, TikTok. He wants data centralization and total surveillance. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly watching & recording everything that's going on." Terrifying.
Hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech. There's gross speech. There's evil speech.
And ALL of it is protected by the First Amendment.
Keep America free.
If you're working in politics/media, there are high paid jobs, fellowships, professional perks, etc to make you rise quickly if you loyally support Israel's gov - and a big network of orgs to smear and cancel you as a bigot if you raise human rights questions. It's that simple.
