Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed. There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea. Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

*TRUMP TO MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT 2:00 PM ET TUESDAY: WHITE HOUSE
“i’m an ally, but only if you’re sufficiently deferential and nice to me” is one of the most embarrassing statements imaginable, yet so many people feel perfectly comfortable shouting it from the rooftops absolutely mortifying

Thank god Substack is dead
I think what the Chorus people dont get is that we arent saying taking money is a problem. Making a creator group to fight Rs similar to what they have is fine. What we have a problem with is that yall sold your editorial rights to a shadow group. But hey, taking $8k is worth your voice right?

Paypal ramps up NSFW censorship by beginning to go after not just adult creators but also customers. In a lot of ways, this is even more terrifying than the adult creator bans. With them, it's only me at risk, but how do I navigate a space where putting a game on Itch might put customers at risk?

Snowden is exactly the person all the shitlibs claimed he was and like every time the shitlibs turn out to be right about one of these guys all the cool kids have just memory holes their years of support for him and pretend they never defended the guy.

Bro you wrote a book on the Rwandan genocide... this is an obvious aspect of fascism???
The FTC notified companies like Google, Meta, and Apple that they must not apply the Digital Services Act, which regulates digital platforms, if it jeopardizes the freedom of Americans. www.wired.com/story/big-te...
My brother in christ, the Democratic presidential favorite is openly working with fascists on his podcast and has openly talked about abandoning trans support.
If you cant understand that one person is not responsible for and completely aware of another persons actions, maybe online discourse isnt for you. Also: if a person who wrote a good article blowing the lid off dark money group made a post signal boosting antisemitism, do not defend that, holy shit
Not my buddy. And I wouldnt go around calling people insane when you cant seem to understand that separate people arent the same entity.
I dont think theres anything that I can say at this point that will get you to understand that one person does not have total control of or total awareness of another persons actions.
How? She has nothing to do with 1630. Your issue is with Omidyar. Lorenz doesnt control or has any responsibility to who Omidyar donates to.
Okay, Ill slow it down. A gives money to B. A also gives money to C. This does not mean that B is now linked to or even aware of C. A is the only one aware of and giving to both.
And now the meltdown from this other thread begins lol. Cant ad hom your way out of entities being separate huh? bsky.app/profile/texa...
Your conflation is that because A gave money to B, but also gave money to C that somehow now B is responsible for C. This is not how anything works.

I did. Its wrong. And the same “chorused” thing all these other dnc lackeys are saying because all they got is ad hom and deflection. omidyar.com/update/omidy...
Youre completely wrong, but go ahead and keep believing the people being paid by the dark money group all saying the same parroted phrases… like a chorus. Like theyre not independent or something. omidyar.com/update/omidy...
Man, really skipping over the never huh? lol Literally just said take the money but disclose who you got it from. Problem is, you cant disclose a source if the source is dark money.
Youve got this backwards. The scholarship she’s part of gets money from a billionaire who also gives to 1630. Almost all of 1630s backers are not public, hence why it is dark money.
Hey thats cool man. You know you can just take the money and say who is paying you right? Like thats an option. And it tells everyone what your biases might be. So why did Chorus try to cover it up?
Is it a moral failing now to ask for people to back up their assertions?
Her funding source is compltely disclosed, its literally not dark money. This is the issue. Yall cant see past “blue good”.
Your “good guys” were arming and abetting a genocide.
Get ready to be called a Nazi by people who cant see past “blue good”. Ask me how I know lol
I'm sorry but if you take money from a source to push partisan talking points and don't readily disclose that to your audience OF COURSE you are going to destroy your credibility -- ESPECIALLY if that source is dictating or limiting your work. I'm not sure how anyone considers that up for debate.
Was more of pointing out this has been litigated already, I condemned it before it was confirmed, and condemned it after. Still no answer on Chorus tho…
bsky.app/profile/texa...
Also, crazy to post the comment I made explicitly condemning an antisemitic post as proof of “defending a nazi”. How much is Chorus paying you?
You dont have to defend her on this one dude. Its also a distraction from the original question. Why is there a concerted effort to defend Chorus when they obviously fucked up?
And was Chorus disclosing who the money was coming from or did they obfuscate that?
Bro, im not the one pulling posts from H3H3.
Im giving it the benefit of the doubt for Starshine’s sake. We *technically* dont know what that word was (unless someone has to original 4chan post) but depending on the context it could be an antisemitic slur.
bsky.app/profile/texa...
Wow that is pretty shitty. Is it still up or is this a host of the tweet? @starshine.bsky.social See how easy it is to admit when you get something wrong, and how easy it is to post proof?
Man the zionists are out in force today huh?
And disclosed it. Thats part of what is the problem here with how Chorus operates.
Behold: another DNC lacky using zionist/nazi rhetoric to obfuscate a political boondoggle that Dems could have avoided by just doing the ethical/moral thing.
Behold: another DNC lacky using zionist/nazi rhetoric to obfuscate a political boondoggle that Dems could have avoided by just doing the ethical/moral thing.
Also I literally first said that thats terrible regardless? Im calling its veracity into question because its coming from a zionist sub that is known to defend nazis.
Again, very easy to show how im wrong here by posting actual proof.
The only reason I remember that this came from there was because she covered the Ethan/Hasan drama and E had a meltdown over it. Lorenz isnt the greatest person, but her reporting so far is batting a 100.
Next youre gonna tell me Epstiny isnt a pedo lol.
You did lmao. This is completely insane. You know you still havent answered/proven anything right?? Except that you seem to frequent zionist subreddits engaged in lügenpresse.
Im also genuinely not sure if this is real, the origination of it is from the H3H3 sub. Not exactly the best people to be getting talking points from…
Cool man, it sucks she did that. Why arent you answering the question?
Cool man. That suck that she did that. Why arent you answering my question?
Black queer celebrity has a psychotic episode and rather than anyone help him people just pulled out their phones and filmed it for content. For days media speculated if it was drugs or some weird promotional stunt. Sick society.
Mmm, the organic children.
There it is
Y’all are the ones not answering the question tho? Youre not refuting anything???
I mean, its very easy to make me look foolish here by posting proof… but you dont seem to want to do that?
Why are you so hostile about coverage on people not disclosing political influence??? Im literally asking where in the article Lorenz said "Chorus paid for specific content" or something similar to that. Why are you projecting your relationship with the DNC onto me?
@humblenovice.bsky.social
Also very telling to just go "NAZINAZINAZI" instead of answering the question. Like if its wrong, its very easy to just get a layup on me here.
Except Chorus did enforce the contract? Lorenz cites Chorus using those clauses in the contract to stop people from speaking out directly. Thats also not what I pointed out you were obfuscating? Can you explain?
Feel free to screen cap where in the article it says "Chorus paid for specific content" or something similar.
This does not refute what Taylor Lorenz wrote. This is not a goalpost move, Starshine is obfuscating what is in the article.
I dont see how this refutes the points she made in her article?
The reason morons say stuff like this isnt because they cant make another hit movie, they want to make a movie by just being bigots. Blazing Saddles hit because it used racism to show how stupid and goofy racists are. Same with LoB and the Bible. They just want to punch down now because its easier.
You couldnt make Life of Brian now because youd get hit with a copyright lawsuit. In all seriousness, you probably could make a movie like LoB or Blazing Saddles or any other "edgy" older movie. Theyd probably hit way harder today even!
It still is (AD). There's no way these guys are happy. Theyre also not getting paid.

Wait, BLA was a meme. Its a joke... people dont actually think this is real, right?
This is one of the thugs who violently kidnapped American citizens from my Home Depot and then tried to force his way into the Dodger Stadium parking lot to “process” them.
He was facing SEVEN FELONIES.
in the parking lot of my apartment there are at this moment multiple cars (trucks, its always a truck) with bumper stickers saying they want to commit political murder and specifically political murder against people like me. This is a normal thing to take your kids to softball practice in.
EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration will move to pull the COVID vaccine off the U.S. market “within months,” one of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s closest associates has told the Daily Beast.

it is genuinely maddening to see pundits and reporters say things like “well trump has an advantage on crime” while the public consistently says “we think this guy sucks on crime”
Thats cool. Can I make an alternate suggestion that has real consequences?
Dead press theory
I have been saying this for a time you can count in decades. There used to be more jobs for horses. Is it the fault of the horses there are no jobs for horses? Why does it become weird to talk about humans in this way. People will starve homeless and dying while they make homelessness illegal,
Over at The Bad Place I just posed this question to William Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a Trump loyalist. All news orgs should be asking this question:
The turn radius on MRAPs makes them nigh unusable in heavily urbanized environments like DC, and they sit so high you cant see anything until youve hit it (cars or people). Under no circumstances should these vehicles be anywhere near DC.
