Interesting to see so many White Democrats blame Arabs and Muslims for Trump's win. In reality it was white people who voted in huge #s for Trump. 57% of all Whites voted Trump--includ nearly 70% whites with HS education or less. So White Dems stop blaming minorities and own that it was your people

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

What we see with the coming Trump administration is correctly defined as a plutocracy-- “a government controlled exclusively by the wealthy.” These plutocrats along with Trump want to control our collective destinies--unless we stop them. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

I was interviewed at CES this morning. We mentioned that consumers will decide whether they want to be on a platform that is “unfiltered free speech “ or “ moderated”. I mentioned that I loved @bsky.app , and spontaneously people started clapping 🔥.

Lots of people on this platform asking "what does Trump's comments about Greenland, etc. have to do with bringing down the price of eggs?!" You fell for the corporate narrative of why Trump won. It was not the cost of eggs, it was the gender and skin color of VP Harris. Glad I can help 😀

The reason Trump was not held accountable for his crimes is NOT because the system is broken. Rather it's because the system designed by rich white men is operating exactly as it was designed: To protect rich/powerful people like Trump. My article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-and-...
