I’ve been saying this for two days on X: why are you all still so mad??? There has to be something in that we can drill down on. It’s not us, it’s not issues, it’s existential angst. Teenager-level shit.
Thanks Brian for all you do in this space. Independent journalists are exactly what we need and you always bring the facts and information needed. I really appreciate all your hard work keeping us informed!
all the left feel the need to have a victim mentality, the left is making black people believe they cant do anything in life without help or welfare
grow up people
He’s just trying to change the narrative about his Starlink interference with h
The election and him now blowing up the satellites to destroy the evidence!
And those are vote by mail states where we already provided ID FFS. and you do have to provide ID as a first time voter and our signature is validated by the same tech that banks use not by some nit wit with a headband in Alabama who spent 30 minutes watching a polling videotape.
Elon Musk must be lying on a historic level, I don’t think Ive ever seen someone take one of the most prominent media platforms in the world and transform it into their own personal playground/tool to spread blatant political misinformation. Joseph McCarthy couldn’t make this shit up
FIne. If we are doing post election whining, how's this: Trump was basically getting free positioned advertising on Twitter. Redo the election! ( Not really calling for that. But see how that works?)
i checked Minnesota randomly. You can't be that stupid to trust someone just because their name is Elon Musk. And even more interested in lying to you! I don't know what's wrong with the Americans, but they seem like pathetic, ragged people wandering the streets with no direction.
It’s best not to bring too much conspiracy from the bird site, it’s a cesspool and its only getting worse, no use polluting Bluesky with it, I think everyone here knows what Musk is doing
Who wants to inform the “idiot Musk” that most of these states are mail in ballot states. Don’t really need to have your ID to vote from the comfort of your own living room! We however, do have robust signature verification in these states
If they want voter photo ID, okay - but first you have to have government issued ID you give to everyone. Still blows my mind you don't have that in the US!
Maybe #Musk needs to asked about the 'little secret' #Trumpf was waffling about... weird stats in some swing state, & about this from #LedByDonkeys ⁉️🤨 https://youtu.be/iX3vMJOADlE?si=IIUFfcAksv4c8SdJ
The map is misleading, but also what *i* see from this is that the voters more likely to vote blue are also more likely to be affected by stringent voting requirements. Its a map of voter suppression, but conservatives see “rigged elections” anywhere thats not happening 😭
Even if this map was accurate, the only trend it would reveal is that states that generally lean right have passed voter ID laws at some point, a right-wing pet project. It's not exactly a surprise
California ID is tied to your drivers license. You are registered to vote through your DL. They the use original DL ID info. They send you a ballot, vote and send it back. Have not voted at the polls for years.
Well, they know they can't prove "voter fraud" because there isn't any, and they can't complain about "stolen election" because they won. So now it's down to right-wing political correctness.
American born and I have to show my ID every election in my blue no ID state because they allegedly never receive the yearly local census I fill out and send in every year...and I'm not the only one.
Brian , bro. Is it really necessary to post the garbage that the bigger pile of garbage that owns X is saying over there?
The point of leaving TwitterX is to get away from the rampant bullshit and turn it into the MAGA echo chamber that Elon Musk apparently wanted since he bought it.
When my husband and I moved here in CO we registered at the DMV and when we moved to a different city in the state they recorded our new address for the SOS. We get mail-in ballots so no voter ID is required, simply our signatures.
as a european its always weird to me how voterid is being used in the US to supress voters. In europe each country mandates a gov. id when you turn 18. I think dems have been trying to play whackamole too much with voter ID laws. A far better solution would be to introduce a mandatory gov ID
ID requirements are pretty normal in most developed countries. The reason we resist it in the USA is that we make it so much harder to obtain a valid ID. And, guess who constantly campaigns against making it easier get an ID?
Cody, your point is valid but I think showing some of the stuff they are saying/doing helps to better inform us about it w/o being totally absorbed in it. I count on the fact that BTC is honest/factual which gives me an idea of what were up against & maybe leads to actions I/we need to take, etc.
I've been seeing a lot of screaming about Arizona being "rigged" because Lake lost to Gallego and "it doesn't make sense, look how many more votes Trump got than Lake" while ignoring that it's also suspicious that Harris got a lot less votes than Gallego
It’s sad frankly how because of this approach their followers can simultaneously believe Dems cheated but didn’t cheat enough to lose in 2024 ALL while cheating and winning in 2020 when we had less institutional power
Pretty sure all the states they won rely heavily on voting machines. You know those things they swore up and down cheated? Crickets now that it's their own guy.
I would add to my post that Elmo is trying to create the false impression that states that voted blue simply don't have controls in place and therefore are illegitimate. This is the quick information that needs to be communicated to the american public. Repubs working to undermine the constitution
Michigan requirements. If no photo ID then sign an affidavit. If you lie, its a crime. Purpose of photo ID only is some level of voter suppression. I am sure the other states are all pretty similar. Elmo is actively spreading disinformation.
Unless things have changed in NY state since 2018, Musk is also full of shit about the laws in that state too, because I had to show my photo ID when I voted at the polling place in Syracuse, NY then.
They will never stop playing the victim card, even if they win a hundred times over. The feeling of inadequacy is so deeply ingrained in them, they can't help it.
Brian - In order to win we must stop indulging in mocking & be laser focused on LEARNING: Musk is NOT acting out of "victim mentality". He's relentlessly pushing propaganda into people's brains. The more people eat this up, the more control he has over them.
So, is the actual pattern to observe that the ID databases were somehow used? Is that why they pushed so hard for it? They don't care about actual integrity...
GEEZ. No wonder everyone is leaving that horrid place he runs.
It almost sounds to me like the cheating didn't work for them in 100% of places like they had planned.
Interesting that they don't show the red states with no ID requirement. Also, in Washington I had to show ID to register, and they only give ballots to registered voters, so what the fuck is their problem?
Not even surprised. I'm used to Missouri doing dumb shit like this on the state level. With a supermajority in both houses, AG spot, and governorship, they're already trying to legislate/sue the citizen-initiated abortion amendment passed away. MO is Fed GOP Jr. 🙃
They can't fathom that, even when they win, their actual policies won't every be popular. (At most they can sell a lie about their policies to be popular)
If Trump even does half of what he promised to do on his campaign trail, he'll be hated by anyone thats not the 70 million who voted for him.
To be fair, once he implements tariffs, the whole deporting millions of immigrants, and you know, the rest of the plan, I'm sure he'll lose at least a small percentage of that 70 million.
🤦If nothing else, it's going to be interesting to watch the unraveling.

We needed ID to register to vote. What absolute nonsense.
Trump won like Trump was assasinated
What are we doing to stop it?
They WANT you to be outraged or upset, don’t give them that pleasure.
The election and him now blowing up the satellites to destroy the evidence!
Don’t get conned again by him!
Map is wrong
The referendum passed this election to become one but will need to be voted on again in 2026.
So, it's almost true.
as in F' ==> 'X' :-)

Here in the map, where there's blue, it is showing no ID so he's thinking she won because of voter fraud.
They will use it as an excuse & make it harder to vote in the future & have plans to get rid of elections completely in the next 2 yrs
I fought for the last 10 years on the old bird site every single day.
But the point is not about resistance.
#TraitorTrump wants to get rid of elections, constitution, FBI, medicare & SS among many things listed in project 2025
If Trump even does half of what he promised to do on his campaign trail, he'll be hated by anyone thats not the 70 million who voted for him.
