King. A Shah is a king. The US uses the Persian term simply to avoid saying, "we're reinstalling a king." So absurd this kind of low-brow propaganda works, but it does. Never say Shah. Step back. Saudi Arabia and UAE are monarchies, too. Trump wants to be a king. Their shared goal is feudalism.

There is no safe way to store data on the cloud. Do we not understand that Trump controls NSA, FBI, CIA, DHS? Who is naive enough to think a local or state regulation can stand up to the most sophisticated tech spies on the planet? If it's on the cloud, it's Trump's data to do with as he pleases.

What could possibly go wrong with setting up AI enhanced cameras around voting sites when the current administration has done everything they can to lie about voter fraud?

I'm very disturbed that so many of our elected officials are revealing themselves to be Trump loyalists. We don't want his surveillance system and will fight to protect ourselves from their participation in his regime of violence and repression.

Excellent effort to limit corporate surveillance, but critically flawed. Once Flock & their partner Palantir is in control of or analyzing data, the idea of being able to control what happens to it is just not practical. Surveillance should only be done by the government, period. #flock #deflock

"the natural resources and the natural boundaries of this area make it an independent, self-sustaining geographical unit" This is from the 1930s, but it's the same movement today. Thiel, Musk, et al - they're technocrats and are behind the attack on Venezuela.

We need to recognize that Democrats have partnered with the Kingmakers who put Trump in power. Allowing SpaceX to provide satellites in Ukraine, partnering with Anduril in the UAE, and local governments installing Flock surveillance cameras controlled by Thiel's techno-feudalist club.

Why does AI suck? Because the tech bros want you to hate it. They want you to think it doesn't work, that it's about stupid photos and homicidal therapists. They do this to get ahead of the game, to develop systems that outcompete the government. It's their strategy to end Democracy.

Credible, explicit testimony from victims who were minors when sexually abused by Donald Trump. If it's emotionally safe for you, please listen to / read this. It's extraordinarily disturbing to see the actual descriptions of rape and abuse, but bearing witness is an essential part of the work.

In the United States, it's more important to protect the privacy of a victim than it is to prevent another act of abuse. I understand this, but so I accept the argument that it's worth it?

For nearly a century, foreign policy efforts warned against the dangers of a Russo-Chinese alliance. That alliance formed under Biden, in direct response to AUKUS, and the invasion of Europe started within months. But we don't talk about this, because solving it would mean de-escalation with China.

The correct solution to the national debt is inflation. 7% for 7 years is a 50% reduction in value. Most Americans are in debt. What's a solution? ☝️ But... How about driving inflation through investing in workers and the poor so that it actually works?

Drones are usually Chinese made & often backed by SpaceX and likely use Microsoft software. How to stop the war? We can't do everything, but: The US collaboration with the RSF-backing UAE needs to end. After that, we pressure China to brick the drones and stop sending more.

The Trump administration has thus far bombed a few boats. They're using the same arguments Obama did when he bombed Libya. Why did Trump come to power and why is he able to get away with so much? Here's a piece of the story

Leonard Peltier's commutation could be revoked because Biden left him to rot in a cell for years for political reasons. Peltier was a victim of the 1950s genocide in which 1/3 of indigenous children in the US were stolen by CPS. Of those thrown into boarding schools, many were raped, some murdered.

When he puts troops in our cities, we get to interact with those troops and remind them that they aren't our enemy. We get to erode the military's support for the regime. We remind them of their humanity and ours. Remind them that we are all Americans. And it's the American people v Tyrant TACO.
