Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...
an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

Just did a quick look around and I don't see very many headlines about the President of the US making people pledge allegiance to him personally while telling everyone to commit election fraud and "cheat like hell" to support his party. Seems like it should be a story?

"Whoever becomes the ruler of a city that is
accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it can
expect to be destroyed by it, for it can always find
a pretext for rebellion in the name of its former
freedom and age-old customs) which are never
forgotten despite the passage of time or any benefits
it has received. No matter what the ruler does or
what precautions he takes) the inhabitants will never
forget that freedom or those customs-unless they are
separated or dispersed ..."
