It’s called FLOODING THE ZONE. Enemy within Steve Bannon created the strategy, and the Trump administration is using it to brutally attack America. “Flooding the zone,” according to Bannon: "The media can only—because they're dumb and they're lazy—they can only focus on one thing at a…

FCC Investigating Radio Station for Reporting on ICE, Fueling Press Freedom Fears In this video, we cover how the FCC is investigating KCBS for reporting on ICE—an alarming move critics say is a blatant attempt to intimidate the press. www.youtube.com/shorts/Zq12t...

Read this article. As a BA I understand the implications of process and systems change. And what happens if it goes wrong. The potential outcome is terrifying for Americans.

New: We spoke to government IT employees/contractors about DOGE. Their warnings were dire. The people who maintain the systems that keep the country working are terrified. "This is the largest data breach and the largest IT security breach in our country’s history—at least that’s publicly known."

How will LLMs change the way policy civil servants work? New @instituteforgov.bsky.social paper finds that: 1) The role of policymakers will increasingly be to add expertise & new insights to LLM outputs 2) LLMs might make it harder for policymakers to acquire important skills

MAGA lost their damn minds over the email lady's private server, but are crickets over Elon's 19-year-old "Big Balls" guy having access to all of our private info.

There is only one way to stop Reform in 2029.. And that is to drive people's living standards up. And to give them hope. The sooner, the better.

1. I know this will cause me trouble, but it dismays me to see fellow environmentalists dismissing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) out of hand, in some cases clearly before they have understood the technologies involved or their potential uses. 🧵

Just to remind people, I am still on X but I don't follow people or add my location history on there etc. My username is cpttt450

100% tariffs on Teslas are fine. But you know what is better? Making oil more expensive. Even better than that? Alaska is pretty dependent on Canada in many ways - see below #teamCanada

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social Hi Carole, you probably are aware about X election interference but I want to refer you to this: theconcernedbird.substack.com/p/elon-musks...

It's important for us not to go the US oligarchy route. Musk is Murdoch on steroids. Its important that brave people take a stand. Congratulations Prince Harry and Lord Watson. BBC News - www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

These are the only two images you need to see about violent and sexual crime in England and Wales. Pre the Labour government.

This from the Washington post Editorial board is correct

One in six UK workers are skipping meals to make ends meet say @the-tuc.bsky.social This is 2025. Work should enable us to flourish and grow, not just survive www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It's disgusting that the Governor of California has to dedicate time and effort toward fighting back against Trump's egregious lies about the LA wildfires. Here's where you can get the facts. Gavin New some is not fucking around. gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

Is it possible that X is getting even worse?

📌Just read this chilling article, and the parallels to today are breathtaking. 📌The eye-opening piece ends with a quote from Hitler's Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels: "The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.” 📌TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED.

🚨🚨 in case you’re wondering why the Tories didn’t implement the Alexis Jay report into child sex abuse we reveal tonight that her proposal for a compensation scheme for victims would cost £5-10bn according to preliminary Whitehall estimates www.ft.com/content/cef1...

Don't like screenshotting from the other place - but this is an Incitement to Murder an elected MP. If nothing is sufficiently done within 24 hours I will personally report this to the police and start the ball rolling on a couple of other things.

That is obscene and the UK is even more unequal. Both Tories and Labour are parties of capital. They don't give a shit. US going through a similar realisation with the Democrats and Republicans.
