Imagine knowing your platform was a playground for predators, fueling teen depression, eating disorders, and suicide and deciding the best course of action was… absolutely nothing. Meta didn’t just “miss” anything.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Bankers and private equity wear suits while they rob us blind. Meanwhile volunteers to feed families this holiday season will be in sweatshirts and jeans.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:

-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela

Nothing like doubling down on illegality.

There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Just a reminder to all Defense Force members, if you commit a crime and you are prosecuted, “I was just obeying orders” will not be an acceptable defense if it was an illegal order.
You are expected to know the Constitution that you’ve sworn to protect.
