Again: this isn’t theoretical. Read the story. The effort is *already* working in several states. Election officials are sounding the alarm. This isn’t “alarmism,” this is Trump and his influential allies working diligently to install his “heads I win tails you lose” election philosophy in real time
EXCLUSIVE: Inside Trump’s plot to corrupt the 2024 election with “garbage” data.

For a decade, states have relied on a system to reduce fraud and boost voter registration. Trump's cronies are sabotaging it — and trying to replace it with something more MAGA.

I see the LGB Alliance are supporting Kemi Badenoch with her utter bullsh*t about gay kids being forced to be gay - a woman who is anti LGBTQ but the alliance will lick the arse of any old homophobe if they’re anti trans. It’s the same lie as ‘gay people have to recruit kids’ I heard growing up.

A seemingly offbeat observation: What Elon Musk paid for Twitter was roughly 10X Britain's entire intelligence budget, MI5, MI6 and more 1. So he could easily afford to be the world's best informed man. Instead he gets his information from random nutjobs www.politics.co.uk/reference/mi6/

Recently, both govt & its faithful papers tried to blame 1st nurses, then doctors for the state of the #NHS & the effect strikes would have on patients & treatment.

Last week's YouGov poll shows yet again that people in the UK don't buy govt propaganda anymore. They know exactly whose fault it is.

The biggest thing that pushed me to take a (possibly temporary, possibly permanent) step back from Twitter was Musk’s stupid and irresponsible decision to strip headlines out of links to news articles linked in tweets, leaving only a thumbnail image. That’s very dangerous.
What I would say here is that the engagement is probably more likely to be with people of the centre left. I wonder whether that’s because many of people leaving Twitter are doing so because of their views of Musk (rather than because of deteriorating service levels, which is why I have moved).
