Autocrats in China, Russia are now making common cause with MAGA Republicans to discredit liberalism and freedom around the world. 🚨
These dictatorships around the world have coalesced to promote autocracy - and how some Americans (we see you, Republicans) and Europeans help them.
Lawsuits, threats, and smear tactics have chilled government, academic, & tech-company responses to disinformation.
One could call this a secret authoritarian “plot” to preserve the ability to spread Antidemocratic conspiracy theories, except that it’s not a secret. It’s all visible, right on the surface. Russia, China, & other state actors—Venezuela, Iran, Hungary—work with Republicans to discredit democracy, to undermine the credibility of democratic leaders, to mock the rule of law. They do so with the goal of electing criminal Trump, whose second presidency would damage the image of democracy around the world, as well as the stability of #democracy in #America, even further.
It’s one of the most important resolutions on the docket. Without our voting rights fascism is all but a sure thing. Voter suppression is rooted in racism.
#POTUS Biden will champion a new Microsoft #Artificial Intelligence investment in #Wisconsin on Wedn — showcasing the failed #economic commitments of his political rival Trump, whose promises for a #job-rich Foxconn plant in the battleground state never materialized.
…the appearance [is] part of #Biden’s “Investing in #America” strategy, …drawing a sharp contrast w/ #Trump, who spent Tues posting angry msgs on social media about his #criminal trial for falsifying business records to conceal #HushMoney payments to adult-film actress #StormyDaniels.
In 2018, when #Foxconn, at Trump’s urging, announced plans to create 13k good-paying #jobs in #Wisconsin, he celebrated the company’s $10B venture outside Racine as the “8th Wonder of the World.”
I know #WhatsApp is popular amongst Americans 🇺🇸 who travel outside of the country, but I doubt #Meta will replace #iMessage in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 in the near future.
#Apple has already lost to #Facebook Messenger in #America 🇺🇸, so in a sense @zuck has already won.
What emerged in 2 interviews w/ #Trump, & conversations w/more than a dozen of his closest advisers & confidants,were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape #America & its role in the world. To carry out a #deportation operation designed to remove >11M people from the country…he would be willing to build migrant detention camps [#ConcentrationCamps] & deploy the #US#military…
“We are seeing the illusion of American freedom, the illusion of American freedom of speech, crumbling behind us. The system and this university have decided to showcase that they would rather subjugate, oppress and silence students than allow us to have a peaceful demonstration where we hope to educate each other. We will not be silenced.”
Hadi, a student demonstrator at the University of Texas, Austin
I think this is a different #H5N1 strain, but I am shocked that it killed a #dolphin 🐬! #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 is investigating, but I am hoping that #America 🇺🇸 is not on the verge of experiencing another epidemic.
Welcome to #America 🇺🇸 where ALL of the major wireless carriers sell customer data to…who are they selling our data to‽ #FCC needs to find out who is buying this data, as it is alarming!
#ATT, #Verizon, #Sprint / #Tmobile (I believe they merged already) are selling our data as if they were #Google. I would not be surprised if various government agencies were buying the info.

'Today, Ancestry announced the free availability of the first comprehensive list of over 125,000 persons of Japanese descent who were unjustly imprisoned between December 1942 and January 1948.'
So is #america doesn't like idea that Chinese govt gets #tiktok data. Presumably this is a jealously thing and that #usa wants it to be American owned so that its government can have access to all that juicy data - as its laws allow, which is why I can't trust American companies with sensitive data.
According to National Geographic, Americans have hated tipping almost as long as they've been doing it. Here's the story of the practice's origins, the debate around whether racism made it more widespread in the U.S., and what people are tipping for today.
#America (as a nation) born in rebellion against a #monarchical#dictatorship
paying freedom and #Democracy
with blood.
'#Founding#Fathers' created gardrail (The #US#Constitution)
to prevent political/religious dictatorship from being re-established
Today
ONLY 6 people are enough (the #SCOTS)
'decide' to give back 'Immunity' to a single person
(practically authorize -absolute power- dictatorial 'monarchy')
erasing in an instant
the very soul of America.
...
easy...
