My book on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, published in 2022, ended with the point that intelligence assets engaged in blackmail, like Epstein, are no longer needed (and thus became expendable) because the surveillance state can retrieve blackmail directly from your devices or plant incriminating material on them.
Four years later, they are just saying it out in the open.

This is how people who know of Hasan Piker treat him in the real world. Hasan is so loved. Steven Donziger and David Adler showing him love was so cute, too. 😭🤍

Dolly Parton was so quintessentially American, and makes me feel more patriotic than the memory of every past president combined.

Did Hasan Piker meet with Jared Kushner? No that was Hakeem Jeffries.
Did Hasan Piker platform Steve Bannon on his show? No that was Gavin Newsom.
Democratic leadership is unserious about stopping fascism. They know it and now with week 40 of Hasan Piker distraction, we know it

I think some of y'all thought I just got tricked by Hasan and ended up on his side.
I spent OVER A YEAR on Newsmax almost every single day and didn't get converted. You think 1 hour with Hasan is gonna make me change my perspective on everything I believe in?
HASAN and I ALREADY agreed on so much - which I know now because I actually watched his videos, and didn't just watch the edited shit, taken out of context.
Do you think I'm just led astray like a sheep?
If your answer is yes, then think again.
I did my research, I met him in person, and everything checked out. He's not a f*cking anti-semite. He doesn't abuse animals.
Dogs who are afraid of being abused by humans don't come up and lick strangers straight in the face - which is exactly what Kaya did to me.
Damn, people are insufferable. And I'll say AGAIN - I've spent two years now fighting with and getting hate from MAGA and right wing folks, with few (yet truly wonderful) exceptions, and NO ONE treated me disrespectfully over there. Nobody did BEFORE either - when I said people should denounce him.
In fact, his people were so kind and thoughtful in their communication, it made me want to look into him more to see whether I had been bamboozled by the internet media.
I just feel compelled to tell the truth here because - well - injustice sensitivity - and, well, the rap he's gotten is just f*cking wrong.

Haven’t seen anyone talk about this, but the @nytimes made an interactive map called The American Mosaic, showing ancestry groups that make up every U.S. census tract.
There are many interesting communities to explore. You can zoom in and see what makes up your own neighborhood:

One of the cruelest things poverty takes from you is the freedom to make mistakes. Every decision has to work.
