How Big Tech is POISONING Our Minds...and Democracy. Americans are being behaviorally and mentally manipulated by profit-seeking oligarchs. Can we stop them?

How Big Tech is POISONING Our Minds...and Democracy.

The "attention fracking" of America is perhaps the greatest problem we have to solve.

Coast Guard bought Kristi Noem two private jets (I guess if one breaks down). Cost: $172 million. Is that what you call draining the swamp?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Ribbit! #political #humor #resist

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Joy Reid nailed it.

I've been wondering, how does all that fit in a bullet casing?

Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.

Security details that we learned in reporting this:

1. Palos Heights PD seemed unaware they were sharing Flock data nationally & subsequently turned it off.
2. They didn't have MFA enabled.
3. They don't know who is actually accessing their system.
4. They have no process for regular audits.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

On Juneteenth and forever…

Honor, don’t bury or whitewash the history of our ancestors who were lynched.
