💥💰Important news for Hungary, as Viktor Orbán floods Facebook with hate ads via state funds & proxy groups. Meta, Google have long accepted this black money, helping distort democratic discourse. In reality, Orbán partly owes his grip on power to U.S. big tech.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41.

Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

From the perspective of a former prosecutive who worked on trafficking cases, the loss of this office can only be intended to make it easier for the traffickers. There is literally no rationale for doing this.

Once again: "Who was president in 2020?" Is a question so many politicians, pundits and even mainstream media have a hard time answering correctly.
Rep. Mike Collins: "Fast-forward to the Biden administration. They put this on steroids. Example? Summer of love, where rioters were out there burning police stations, assaulting officers."

(Donald Trump was in fact the president in 2020.)

One of our “green new scam” research grants that USDOT terminated focused on making transit infrastructure more resilient to more frequent and severe weather events. But “climate change adaptation” was too woke, obviously, and doing this research is clearly unnecessary

I have wondered for a long time which mattered more: reality, or the online perception of reality. If people whose children die still don't believe in vaccines, then we have the answer.
