There are very, VERY few people who are equipped to talk about this shooter correctly given the brainrot written on the shell casing. You have to understand so much of online culture to get it and also understand how that culture is both connected to and separate from real world ideological spaces

we are on the verge of curing maybe the worst cancer of all the cancers but the whole right wing media makes too much money scaring people about "mRNA vaccines" so time to toss that in the trash

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

Is your NGO forced to sign a statement agreeing to transphobia, opposing climate justice, or anything like that in order to get US funding?

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

An alleged X whistleblower has revealed how programmers were instructed to directly manipulate the app to destabilize democracy globally for the far right.
Having read this and now seeing how pro-Trump politicians posts from foreigners fare against anti-Trump ones it's pretty crystal clear
To Whom It May Concern, I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do. When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical. We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide. One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic. We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them. Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions. The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA." What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted. The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen. I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs. Yours sincerely, A former employee who can't sleep at night. Danielle Smith with over 16,000 likes on her post: It is a far wiser approach, and a much more Canadian one I might add, to diplomatically identify their concerns through face-to-face engagement and work with them on negotiating a win-win for both the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. President is clearly concerned about border security, achieving energy dominance and strengthening the shared defence of our continent. Our two countries clearly have shared interests in all of these areas. So let’s start there and move forward with a mature discussion as friends should. We need to lead with diplomacy rather than bravado, bluster and escalation. I will continue to do so. David Eby with 344 likes on a video that talks about how Trump's tariffs need to be met with retaliatory ones "@Dave_Eby · 4h This morning, I met with premiers & the prime minister and once again, I raised the need to break down trade barriers within Canada. The challenge posed by the tariff threat is also an opportunity to focus on growing our economy here at home."

I tried to warn everyone about authoritarian information states and the true synergy between corporate news and the fascist misinformation machine and now it has been fully unabashedly unleashed inwardly onto Americans. No one is ready for the effect of zero ability to trust what you experience.

As the anti-war movement faces violent raids, suppression of speech, and political repression - we must remember that this was broadly NOT the response when Alt-Right groups flooded university campuses with anti-Semitic and white supremacist literature and events.

Two vital pieces of info b4 Black Friday:

1. Price trackers have proven that Amazon has been slowly hiking prices so they can pretend to slash them on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. There are no actual deals. Just the appearance of them.

2. Amazon workers are on strike
