I don't speak for my former employers. Whatever I say about them or their products and services is exactly what I would say as a customer or industry observer.

A jury in NM found that Meta, formerly Facebook, misled the public in statements about the Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal and its policies on hate speech, violence and misinformation. techpolicy.press/eight-years…

I keep coming back to this. Some of the care needs are quite high. For years on end.

I don’t think people realize the level of care required for elderly these days. People are living longer but they’re also a lot more ill. I worked as a hospice nurse and know the ins and outs of caregiving vs utilizing facilities and the associated costs.

The actual Semites are buried under the rubble in Gaza, with their remains being mixed into the foundations of Jared Kushner's new apartment complexes. So don't ever give me that "antisemite" shit when I'm being critical of Zionism or Israel.

Pete Hegseth's bank account: under $50K➡️over $1M...! His disclosure says NOTHING about where it came from. A Defense Secretary gets rich while overseeing wars? Republicans are silent This is looting US citizens...

BREAKING: Netanyahu plotted a pre-election Iran strike & his OWN army chief BLOCKED him. The man was ready to drag America into another war to save his seat. Trump said Iran was "totally defeated" in March. Now they're planning "massive" strikes? LIARS. 🤡

🚨 EXPOSED: Mike Rogers voted to send $250M to Egypt under Muslim Brotherhood leader Morsi in 2012. Now he claims El-Sayed is "bought off" by the same group. The only one with financial ties to the Brotherhood is Rogers himself. Michigan deserves the truth! 💰🔥

PENTAGON'S "FORTRESS" HAS NO BUDGET, NO TIMELINE, NO ACCOUNTABILITY. Hegseth gave a shiny speech but won't say how much it costs. The Pentagon just failed its 8th audit—$4.65 TRILLION unaccounted for. You want us to trust you with "90-day resilience"? 🖕

Seems like malfeasance for there to have ever been anything less than this operational continuity target (90 days off-grid with total supply-chain disruption) for critical military and federal emergency infrastructure. So, I'm dubious of Hegsdeth's recent posturing.

Reality is finally crashing down on the Kremlin: Trump can't deliver the easy capitulation putin was banking on. In a telling moment of backdoor realisation, putin’s top aide, Yuri Ushakov, just exposed Moscow's deep desperation. He admits that dealing strictly with Trump and his real estate “diplomats”, isn't working because Trump can't just bully Kyiv into submission. Instead, Russia is finally forced to accept a hard truth: they have to deal with a united Europe that stands firmly behind Ukraine. Desperate for progress, Moscow now wants Europe at the table—proving once and for all that Trump's 'magic wand' has completely failed. Pavel Zarubin: “Is such an option possible, if Zelensky continues to behave insolently toward the American administration, that the American administration will simply dictate and force him to make the decisions that the American administration considers correct?” Yuri Ushakov: “Well, you understand, even earlier there was an impression after Anchorage, too, that the American administration could dictate something like that and force Kyiv to fulfill it. But so far this hasn't quite worked out, because it's not enough to talk only with Kyiv; one needs to talk with the whole of Europe, which fully supports Kyiv, and perhaps Europe's position here is of a key character.”

U.S. Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed on not identifying as DSA: "I believe in capitalism, and I think capitalism works well to allocate resources in a market. And I think if you look at where we are right now, we don't live in capitalism. We live in corporatism."

Barely a week before the election and the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has just released its last 100K barrels of oil. Pumping out anything more risks the salt domes collapsing from the water used to displace the oil dissolving the structures walls.

It should be far bigger news that Trump is openly using Nazi rhetoric at his rallies, and that his party is therefore—under his leadership—a Nazi party. It means anyone who votes Republican is voting for a Nazi party. If you've watched his rallies, you know this is fact.

It's almost as if endorsements and condemnations must each be assessed on its own merits with all due skepticism!
Anyone want to interject this assholes insane rant to point out that Pete hegseth’s mom thinks he is abusive to women and needs help?

But what's the threshold at which we can reform these systems towards a more equitable and representative democracy? Is it even possible or are more radical and revolutionary recourses required?

I see all these citations of campaign ads spending and gotta wonder where it's going? Who runs MAGA friendly advertising and marketing agencies? Is it really just a giant circle jerk?
$78 million spent in ads by Republicans just in Texas about the trans issue. Just that issue in one state.

Consolidation of capital enables it. Corruption enables the consolidation. It's unsustainable without the corruption (and the many extractions enabled thereby). The vicious shadow of capitalism's "virtuous cycle" of supply and demand?
