My book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT was published in 2020. It has the Trump/Epstein court files in it and a history of their joint transnational mafia ties. For five years, I have heard from former Trump voters who said this book -- specifically the Epstein documents -- changed their minds about him.

I refuse to believe these are "accidental" letters. These are malicious attempts to move the Overton window to normalize fascism against US Citizens. MAGA regime has successfully demonized legal residents enough to pass legislation denying them due process. Citizens who speak out are next. Mark it.
Dr. Lisa Anderson says she recently received a letter from the DHS telling her, “It is time for you to leave the United States."

Immigration authorities have been pushing noncitizens to “self-deport.”

But Dr. Anderson was born in Pennsylvania and is a U.S. citizen. nbcnews.to/4jhI6Fx

Trust in corporate media is at historic lows, resulting in mass unsubs & declining readership. It's one result of billionaires buying out & corrupting legacy platforms.

I wrote about how people can get the honest, clear info they need to stay informed.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred.

As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

Maybe the reason I didn’t get too into twitter back in the day…didn’t have many engage with my posts. This is important though, so even if you don’t want to chat with me, a like or share or any acknowledgment you’re seeing it helps. Looking for #activists or #socialimpact leaders.
Hey all, Do you consider yourself an activist? Want to get more involved in causes that matter but something’s holding you back? Trying to mobilize people but struggling with an aspect of it? If you’re willing to chat with me (totally confidential) I’m trying to learn what might help. Hit up my DMs.

I don't have any idea what to do with this other than share. It's 100% believable and 100% within the realm of current state technology. Put it together with the announcement of the $500B investment in AI infrastructure yesterday.

I personally am not one to spread conspiracy theories. But I'm very comfortable with undermining fascism...so, I'll leave this here without comment and you can "judge for yourselves" and "do your own research" since that's what we do now:

I reworked this old song while going through a divorce + Covid + 2021 insanity. The lyrics felt too on-the-nose in the moment, everyone was putting out Covid records, and my ADHD was still 2 years from diagnosis, so...it was in my back pocket and still on-the-nose.
