Imagine an app linking your social media, bank access, and vaccination records. Now imagine the totalitarian potential. Criticize the government, or refuse a jab, and you're debanked or unable to travel. This is not a drill. Digital IDs may soon become a reality. @CecilieJilkova

Many Democrats say they want to understand what happened. Few genuinely do. That's because, at some level, they know they're guilty of having participated in a witch hunt in which they falsely accused their fellow Americans, and even their friends & family, of fascism & racism.

In his new letter, Zuckerberg goes beyond what he told Rogan. He says FBI specifically warned of disinfo re: Hunter Biden & his client, Burisma, the Ukrainian nat gas company. It's hard proof that the FBI illegally interfered in the elections. Someone should go to prison for it.
We give the CIA and FBI great powers and expect they won't abuse them. But the evidence is now overwhelming that the CIA & FBI violated the Wiretap Act, spread disinformation, and interfered in the 2020 election. These crimes must be investigated and the perpetrators prosecuted.

Dear Brazilian friends,. Please stay on X. If you leave X for other platforms, the totalitarians will win. You are safe using VPNs. Everyone knows that there is simply no way for Moraes to inforce his insane decree. All the proof you need is that the Brazilian government and.

THE CTIL FILES #1. Many people insist that governments aren't involved in censorship, but they are. And now, a whistleblower has come forward with an explosive new trove of documents, rivaling or exceeding the Twitter Files and Facebook Files in scale and importance.

Esse homem é uma vergonha para o Brasil. Ele exige que X e todas as outras plataformas de redes sociais proíbam, para sempre, os jornalistas e políticos independentes que o criticam acertadamente por se comportar como um ditador. Ele mente e afirma que as pessoas que o criticam.
Durante evento no Centro do RJ para a criação do Museu da Democracia, que será inaugurado em 2026, o ministro Alexandre de Moraes fez fortes críticas ao que chamou de “empresários mercantilistas de redes sociais” que só visam lucro e unem poder econômico com o autoritarismo

Bill Gates two weeks ago, John Kerry last week, and Hillary Clinton today — all demanding government censorship of X. Hard to see this as a coincidence. They appear to be laying the groundwork for totalitarianism. Our democratic republic is in danger.
Most of us enjoy more free speech than ever thanks to X. That’s why the elites are desperate to censor it, ban it, or take it over. Every day another totalitarian makes his intentions known. We must defend a free X. Our lives depend on it.

Biden pardoned Fauci. He says it’s not an admission of guilt. But if Fauci were innocent, no pardon would be needed. The evidence suggests Fauci helped create the Covid pandemic, and then covered it up. The investigation must go forward. All Covid & Fauci Files must be released.
Fauci said he had an "open mind" about Covid's origin, but he didn't. A new, months-long investigation by Racket and Public reveals that Fauci secretly lobbied the CIA, State Department, and White House to reject the theory that Covid came from the Chinese lab his agency funded.

Biden didn't call Trump supporters "garbage," the media said. But he did. And now two officials and an internal email reveal that the White House press office altered the transcript after it "conferred with the president" in direct violation of the Presidential Records Act.
The New York Times says Biden only "appeared" to call Trump voters "garbage." That's disinformation. What Biden said is clear from the video. And now the White House has altered the official transcript in a potential violation of the Presidential Records Act

This is terrible. It was obvious that @elonmusk was talking about how radiation declines over time. Some of the best research comes from Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Are you going to correct your misinformation and apologize, @DanaBashCNN ? @CNN @kaitlancollins @StephenAtHome.
OMG watch this clip. CNN selectively cuts part of the Elon/Trump conversation about nuclear energy last night to make it seem like they were saying that the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were no big deal. They are so dishonest!

People think solar panels are good for the environment but they’re not. They’re made with toxic heavy metals and aren’t recycled. Most are made with coal in China and produce produce 3x more CO2 than IPCC thought. And they require 300-600x more land than other energy sources.
People say solar panels don't produce carbon emissions, but they do. And now, a major new investigation by Environmental Progress, drawing on the research of @enricomariutti , finds that solar panels made in China produce at least 3x more carbon emissions than IPCC claims.

Both CNN and MSNBC carried the entirety of the speech by DeSantis, after openly refusing to carry the speech by Trump, even though Trump won a landslide with 51% against DeSantis’ 21%. It’s madness. CNN and MSNBC are flagrantly embracing their role as propagandists.
MSNBC host @maddow says NBC and other mainstream news networks have decided not to show Trump’s victory speech. CNN had him on briefly but then cut away and replaced him with @jaketapper who says “caucus goers believe the lie.”

Some reporters and scientists are blaming climate change for the lack of rain in LA. It's ridiculous. There's no trend in annual rainfall from 1877 to 2024. We have wet years and dry years. Climate change isn't responsible for the LA fires. Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass are.
Climate change is causing the fires in L.A., says the media. But one of the government's top fire experts says, “I don't think these fires are the result of climate change." The media blame climate change to divert attention from the incompetence of the politicians they like.

In Feb. 2020, after a @nypost oped said COVID-19 came from a lab leak, Facebook censored the story. Why? Because "independent fact-checkers" said it was "False information." Not only was it true information, one of the fact-checkers had worked at the lab.
