Two important and wildly under-reported stories starting to truly break through: - Russia's deep penetration of the Republican Party - Trump's utter madness Feels like the dam is starting to break on both now.
US Senator, Rand Paul not only had his campaign manager go to prison for taking Russian money but now one of his advisors is indicted as a Russian spy. Yet, @RandPaul is STILL a US Senator. And STILL voting exactly as he's instructed by his Russian handlers.

Hey, @nytimes. You just published a headline that reads, “Clashing over January 6, Trump & Biden Show Reality is at Stake” & your subheading gives credibility to Trump’s “framing” of 1/6. Your both-sidesism & refusal to call out the danger of Trump is journalistic malpractice.

Failing to address the antisemitic and Holocaust denial comments that appear under our posts commemorating the victims of Auschwitz would be a disservice to their memory. We've chosen to block users who promote denial and hatred. This decision stems from our deep dedication to our mission. We need a secure space to do this. Engaging in discussions with people and accounts that seek to abuse the memory of victims of Auschwitz is against the values we believe in. These individuals do not seek discourse; they aim to inflict pain. In this context, blocking is a necessary step to ensure that these harmful voices don't persist in their repetitive attacks on memory. In today's digital age, social media platforms shoulder significant moral responsibility. They should actively counter hate speech and halt its normalization. A platform that disregards the need to defend the memory of the victims demonstrates a disregard for creating a respectful and empathetic online environment. Blocking users isn't a mere action; it's a practical measure. Often, reporting accounts that spread hostility remains an unanswered call. Blocking provides a way to protect the memory of people who suffered and were murdered in Auschwitz.

Block is going to be deleted as a “feature”, except for DMs

“If we are mourning anything ... it is the loss of democracy. I am your duly elected state attorney ... and nothing done by a weak dictator can change that. This is an outrage.” — State Attorney Monique Worrell (D) reacts to Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) suspending her from office

Very proud to live in a country where an ex-president can be held to account for his (alleged) crimes. Very dismayed to live in a country where that same ex-president will almost certainly be the nominee of his party again and could return to office. nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

On the last day of Pride Month, an extremist and unelected SCOTUS uses a made-up case to hand out a “constitutional" right to discriminate against LGBTQ people. What an embarrassment for our country.

“To see the full scale of Donald Trump’s betrayal of his country, it is necessary to recognize that he kept intelligence documents because, at some point, those secrets could be used in a transaction. What he was stockpiling were the materials of treason.” nybooks.com/online/2023/06/1…

David Simon, the creator of The Wire, says he’s on strike to protect new generations of writers and make sure they aren’t exploited by studios. He also explains how studios are cutting jobs to please shareholders and making TV shows almost impossible to run. cc @AoDespair

Coincidence? Nah!! This timeline absolutely shows a correlation between Dr. Bik’s Patreon account and the rise and then hit pieces on Cassava Science and it’s drug, Simufilam. Look at the chart and tell me she’s not a part of the short and distort crew.
Replying to @GidMK
Speaking of literally killing people, Dr. Bik left out that she was assisting a coordinated short campaign trying to prevent P3 completion for a promising Alz drug. See her Patreon act exploding just before the campaign and cratering the moment the victim initiated litigation.

And there it is. After winning back full control of government for the first time in 40 years, Michigan Democrats just repealed the state’s 1931 abortion ban. (h/t @therecount)

All these MSNBC talking heads are going on and on about what a mystery it is how Trump won in 2016. As if them spending every day hyping a phony Hillary email scandal had nothing to do with it. The media should never have been forgiven for how it lied its way through 2016.

America’s day so far: - Donald Trump arrested for 34 felonies - Democrats win Wisconsin Supreme Court swing seat - Appeals court clears way for Mark Meadows to immediately testify in Jack Smith case - More good news keeps coming - Trump is going to prison - It’s still only 10pm

How is this possible? Evan Corcoran testimony to grand jury tomorrow may have a big enough smoking gun that an indictment could be imminent.
