Karoline Leavitt wasted taxpayer dollars plastering mug shots across the White House lawn — like trophies.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

For those new here, I spent last year writing for @newrepublic.com about an extremist tech ideology.
It calls for tech elites to control governments and/or create new ones. It seeks to dismantle nations and destroy democracy.
Some call it the "Network State," and it may now seem familiar to you 🧵

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins slams the Trump admin’s NIH cuts as “poorly conceived” and says she has called RFK to “to express my strong opposition to these arbitrary cuts in funding for vital research.” She says he promised to “re-examine this initiative” if confirmed as HHS secretary.

Definitely. The minute America goes back to the pre-WW2 annexation game, China will start bombing Taiwan. I can't express how fucking dangerous this moment is. There are surveys showing that most people in the world believe some other countries' territories belong to them. A Pandora's Box of shit.
I think this opens the door for China to justify its desires to expand. China's position is that there are already countries or areas that already belong to them. If the US is going to claim independent countries or territories then what is to stop China?
