Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election.
Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine.
A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

A fun thing to do with your Republican associates is not to demean them for their ideas, which, granted, are terrible, but rather to mock how inept the person they voted for does it. Because even they are starting to see he sucks, but they still kinda like the idea. Make him a loser, not a villain

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.
While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
