Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. “X” is a cesspool of misinformation and propaganda.
I’ve been reluctant to put a lot of energy into a “Twitter alternative” because none of them have taken off.
But I hope we can regain that global conversation someplace again. Maybe this is the place.13,219 1,491Nov 9, 2024 -

These false claims were trumpeted endlessly on TV and in print.
The prosecution and guilty plea of the "informant" who spread those false claims has received little attention.
This is how disinformation works.1,637 584Dec 13, 2024 -

It was obvious to anyone paying attention that Musk's algo was heavily boosting him and other right-wing accounts.
But it's good to see the data backing up what we could see with our own eyes.2,243 565Nov 16, 2024 -

Jack Smith’s January 6th report is out (link below).
Check out his cover letter defending his work as well as a letter from Trump’s lawyers, and Smith’s response, at the end.
Smith also sets forth in detail the reasons why he believed a prosecution was warranted. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...808 301Jan 14, 2025 -

This should be alarming to everyone.
The Members of the January 6th Committee are protected by the Constitution from arrest for their Congressional duties.
Trump is calling for them to be arrested for performing their congressional oversight role pursuant to Article I of the Constitution.615 183Dec 9, 2024 -

If this happens, look out for it to be one of the first big legal fights of the second Trump administration.

This is the most concerning Trump pick thus far, and that’s really saying something.

Jack Smith specifically asks for a dismissal *without* prejudice, but I expect Trump's lawyers to fight for a dismissal *with* prejudice, which would prevent the charges from being reinstated after he leaves office.

Kash Patel is the same guy who claimed that he was present when Trump spoke words to "declassify" mass quantities of documents before he took them to Mar-a-Lago.
Now Trump plans to appoint him FBI Director.387 111Dec 1, 2024 -

No one who investigated the abuse and exploitation of children, or was a victim, would ever throw around terms like "groomer" or "pedo" as an insult the way that he does.
It's offensive to anyone who understands the horror those terms actually refer to.547 95Nov 28, 2024 -

One thing that Bluesky has going for it is its look and feel. It feels a lot like old Twitter.
Threads feels like a text extension for Instagram.1,148 78Nov 10, 2024 -

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution states that “all persons born” in the United States are “citizens of the United States.”
It will be difficult for any textualist judge not to give meaning to those words.303 74Dec 8, 2024 -

There is a nugget of truth underlying this SNL sketch.
Trump has threatened to target his enemies.
The mere threat of being targeted can cause some people to censor themselves.
Once Trump’s threat turns into action, even more will self-censor. A single subpoena could silence many.347 74Nov 10, 2024 -

What "moment in time" is Mika referring to? Her statement doesn't even make sense.

Judge Merchan said that he will sentence Trump to "unconditional discharge", which essentially means that he won't be punished at all.

“Paoletta recited a laundry list of Trump goals, including mass deportations, ending birthright citizenship, issuing pardons and commutations to Jan. 6 defendants … and ‘holding accountable those who weaponized their government authority to abuse Americans.’” www.politico.com/live-updates...

I don’t know what’s more surprising.

Our lives are defined by the choices we make during challenging times.
With challenging times on the horizon, when you learn of injustice, what will you do?

It’s hard to make sense of this settlement. On its face, Trump’s suit looks like an uphill battle at best.
Why would ABC agree to pay $15 million in an embarrassing settlement right before its lawyers were set to depose Trump?206 47Dec 15, 2024 -

Kash Patel may not be confirmable, but Trump could appoint him to a role at FBI that doesn't require Senate confirmation and then have him act as Acting Director for a period of time after Trump fires Chris Wray.
