This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

THINGS THAT WE PRETTY MUCH ALL AGREED WERE TRUE TEN YEARS AGO

10. Neo-Nazis are bad people

9. The government cannot punish people for speaking their minds

8. Paying a prostitute hush money to conceal an extramarital affair would finish any political career

After the murder of Charlie Kirk, conservatives piled on Rachel Gilmore for expressing a well-founded fear. Then came violent threats.

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them.

She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.

NEW -- Exactly 10 days after taking the oath early this year, Donald Trump nearly drowned dozens, potentially hundreds, of his own citizens in California’s Central Valley.

Why?

Because he is one of the most ignorant people you will ever meet.

Maybe Rex Tillerson Was Right. Maybe Trump Really Is Just A Moron.
His lying and temper tantrums aside, evidence abounds that the president's most important, and dangerous, feature is his ignorance.

This is one of the ways that white supremacy weaponizes civility: by implying that certain people get to be served, and other kinds of people (you know what kinds) need to be grateful, without interrogating it.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.
“The reason for the move is listed as a “lesser security transfer” (code 308), which is completely inappropriate for inmates who are in the early stages of serving their sentences. ‘This is such obvious corruption. I have never seen this before.’”

According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

Tesla driverless car runs over a kid sized dummy and drives off.
“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.”

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Still think it's pretty telling how muted the response was when Grok's Boer meltdown accidentally revealed how easy it is for the tech lords behind AI to manipulate it to their own ends. It won't always be so laughably obvious but it was treated as an "oops" and not a warning.

Let me put an even finer point on this: Nancy Pelosi intervened in the House Oversight race to make sure a 74 year old cancer patient won over an up and coming, Latino woman—right before Musk eviscerated the government.

Who do we think would’ve done a better job at providing oversight?

Well, funding Donald Trump isn't not funding terror.
EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.
