I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.
Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)

Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

Remember that every newsletter involves me learning about something new about something I kind of knew about, and this has now turned into “NVIDIA Isn’t Enron - So What Is It?” - my first big free newsletter since September, a guide to whatever the hell is going on with this god damn company
![Anyway, Lucent really fucked up big time. In 1998 it signed a $2 billion “equipment and finance agreement” with telecommunications company Winstar, which promised to bring in “$100 million in new business over the next five years” and build a giant wireless broadband network, along with expanding Winstar’s optical networking. In December 1999, WIRED would say that Winstar’s “small white dish antennas…[heralded] a new era and new mind-set in telecommunications,” and included this awesome quote about Lucent from CEO and founder Will Rouhana:
On one level we are a customer and they are a supplier. On another level they are a financier and we are a borrower. On yet another level they are providing services around the world to accelerate our development. They also want to use our service, and have guaranteed $100 million in business.

One thing Gwen understands more than most about the Texas and Oklahoma crack down on trans people existing in the university is that this is part of a broader movement by TPUSA and astroturf right wing groups to push society to make having a job while being openly trans impossible again.

"No ceiling" results in what we have: a couple dozen psychopaths control several trillion dollars and the power has made them go stark raving mad. They are obsessed with using their concentrated wealth to punish the population and remake the country into a failed state and international pariah.

This reminded me of a story I heard about Nader’s fight with General Motors and had to look it up to see if I was remembering it correctly.

An X user asks Elon Musk why they’re seeing tweets from left-wing lawmakers.
Musk: “Because we are failing very badly with the recommendations algorithm. Doing my best to address this.”

Reconciliation without reparation is one of supremacy's greatest sabotages of the act of repair. Whenever abuse is exposed, it offers free exoneration to the abuser at the expense of the abused, and calls it redemption. It's the traditional and popular response to abuse in our supremacist society.
Leaders of a Minnesota church community didn’t report a parishioner they knew had sexually abused girls for year.
They told his victims that once sins were “washed away in the blood of reconciliation,” they could never speak of them again.
