1. A tiny California tribe, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation, just donated $2 MILLION to MAGA Inc, Trump's Super PAC. I decided to find out why. It's an illustration of exactly how business is done in Trump’s Washington. Follow along for details. 🧵

Watching Pamela Jo deny and dismiss the Epstein victim stakeholders and zealously defend her paymaster reminds me so much of how corporate HR operates. Always in the company’s best interest at the cost of truth and morality.

I’d like more causative evidence of this but it’s another possible example of government retaliating against free speech.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

the knitters too. this is the top pattern on ravelry right now
A red knitted cap with a pointed crown with a braided tassel. It's titled "Melt the ICE Hat" and it's by YarnCultMNn the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design.

The sample shown was knit in Blue Sky Fibers Skyland for the DK version.

All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

If you were a tech company employee who moderated content overseas — say, trying to prevent a repeat of the Myanmar genocide! or maybe policing CSAM! Or hate speech illegal in your country! — you are a “censor” under the definitions of the Republicans in power. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Exclusive: Trump administration orders enhanced vetting for applicants of H-1B visa
An internal State Department memo said that anyone involved in "censorship" of free speech should be considered for rejection.

Holy shit. Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

The important thing to understand about TikTok is that it is not a social media platform that has shopping features, it is a shopping platform with hyper-optimized data tracking that has social media features. (This is, incidentally, why I’ve never had an account & don’t have the app on my phone,)

Below are the 30 U.S. cities with at least 100,000 residents that had the highest number of crimes against people, per 100,000, according to the latest FBI data report. Goodness, Washington, D.C., forgot to be included! JD Vance & Jim Jordon's Ohio makes a stellar showing. Heck of a job on crime!

I am begging y'all to stop calling the militarization of a major city a "distraction". If *YOU* would rather think about Epstein--- and not about the forced mass displacement of human beings--- then just say that.

This was given to reporters today. Trump is comparing Washington, D.C.'s murder rate to cities in other countries. Why? Because DC isn't even in the Top 10 for American cities. This chart only proves how violent the United States is compared to the rest of the world.
