The Venn diagram of Americans who a) believe Bill Gates put chips in vaccines to mind control people into communism using 5g, and b) will happily turn over their biometric data to Trump is a circle.

As I'm watching the news coverage, what we thought was a body seems to be the person they arrested. He's alive but injured.

This story doesn't align with what I saw. The person on state St was loaded into an ambulance while the march continued unhindered. Shots fired were 15m later. The person down that we saw was a couple blocks away, and the people running were another block away running back toward where the body was.

Utah specific No Kings SLC sign. Picture of Utah Governor Spencer Cox's face superimposed with Trump's face. "Trump's lil' Cox." American flag on the side of the picture.

SLC Utah No Kings march. Looking North along State St, the street is filled with marchers, high rise buildings on both sides of the street. Partly cloudy blue skies.

So if the parade is sponsored, there there should be evidence of these companies paying something, right? And not just to the Trump library fund?

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

Another example of the right wing media machine selectively presenting and then twisting “evidence” into their strategic frames. This is how they work ALL THE TIME. As soon as an event happens, it’s all hands on deck to assemble evidence to fit their frames.

Yes. This is a very real danger. Trump already has started trying to reframe this climbdown as sensible recalibration (while simultaneously telling MAGA that mass deportations absolutely will happen), and Dems are letting him get away with it.

I think the main thing is he wants vital emergency relief to be personalized rather than institutionalized. It’s not that the federal government won’t aid states hit by disasters; it’s that he wants them to kneel & beg him personally.

For white ppl who say your great grandparents came to the U.S. “legally,” remember that U.S. immmig law was EXPLICITLY racist in favor of white Northern European immigrants for most of the 20th century. Affirmative action for white ppl is everywhere if you look. www.lbjlibrary.org/news-and-pre...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Great question. “From the ground up” doesn’t mean bypassing politics, it means rebuilding the conditions that make democratic politics work in the first place. A quick thread on how I see the road ahead 🧵

It's so so important to understand that these technologies are absolutely failing within a market context, they all lose a ton of money and are set to lose more, the only path to profit for these vultures is to attach themselves to educational and government institutions.

One after another access journalist is reporting a convo with Trump where Trump says Musk has a problem. None asked why Trump let him have unfettered access to the govt, and our data, for the last four months, then. And what he'll do to make sure Musk didn't do permanent damage.
