Musk, Bovino, and others are definitely crypto-nazis (crypto- as in "hidden," not the currency). I think it's fair to characterize Trump as one, too. They should be banned, and their enablers shunned.

A well funded, educated, and diverse population of basic science researchers is the world's "immune system" that can address scientific / technical threats or challenges.

"[...] later-clarified discrepancy in security footage [...]" I read the CBS story linked from those words ... it absolutely does NOT clarify - or satisfactorily excuse - the gap in the footage and a change in aspect ratio (that I hadn't heard of at the time). Shit's still sus AF.

From weaponizing the DOJ to seizing state voter rolls, the Trump admin's goal is to create a fog of deception before the midterms. How to hold the line: ❌ Debunk without amplifying 🔎 Watch for manufactured "proof" 👥 Support local officials against fed interference 🔗 protdem.org/4wjb3b5
An infographic titled "DECEPTION WATCH" in bold, red and white capital letters. Below the title, the text reads: "Tracking the administration’s campaign of election lies and manufactured evidence."

The graphic features a checklist of three "False Narratives" being monitored, each with a corresponding icon:
1.  **Manufacturing evidence through federal power:** Accompanied by an icon of a magnifying glass over a document.
2.  **Baseless claims of mass "non-citizen" voting:** Accompanied by an icon of three simplified human silhouettes.
3.  **DOJ investigations used to launch political attacks:** Accompanied by an icon of a gavel.

At the bottom, a call to action reads: "See the full briefing at IfYouCanKeepIt.org," placed next to the "If You Can Keep It" logo, which features a stylized eagle and shield. The background is a dark, textured navy blue, giving the graphic a serious, high-alert tone.

This kind of slop will only get harder to recognize. The uncanny valley will get shallower. The physics will get better. And the cheesiness will get reined in, presumably, by creators, as the chances of passing it off as real improve.

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans. For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project. www.rpc.state.gov/documents/Re...

Has anyone asked Utah Senate Mike Lee about this? www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Utah reviewed its voter rolls for noncitizens. It found one. Who never voted
The results sharply undercut the narrative of widespread noncitizen voting Republicans are using to promote new nationwide restrictions on voting.

The article says 11-42% in total (the big range due to DMV data not recording whether in-person or not). The 5.9% figure was only in-person at election offices.

Well, the dose maketh the poison. Also the location and manner of application. Chemotherapy drugs are harmful for humans, but rightly embraced by cancer patients. To your point, though, wrinkles are not in the same category as cancer.

It's not mental illness. It's malicious political myth-crafting. It's non-consensual kayfabe. It's televangelist-level performance art. He and his FOX / OANN / Newsmax ilk know exactly what they're doing, which we must remember for their sentencing hearings.
