Why am I suddenly getting all this Harry and Meghan hate on my feed? I have never followed this story. Also getting unlikely likes and follows from fairly obvious Trump accounts, when I myself mostly avoid click bait engagement.

Notes: 1. POTENTIAL non-citizens: Needs cross-reference naturalization database. 2. TX law: AUTOMATIC restoration post- sentence. 3. Sure—remove the CONFIRMED deceased. 4. “Suspense list”=haven’t voted 6 years SHOULD NOT be “removed” 5. Failure to respond SHOULD NOT be “removed.”

1/2: NCGOP releases statement blaming political opponents for today's Robinson story and calling it a distraction from issues Republicans want to discuss. Notably absent from statement: A direct answer as to whether party stands by Robinson or wants him out of the race. #ncpol

“Wokeness” originated as “critical theory,” where deep dives into history and impacts of humans agency were revealed for better or worse. Piercing mythology. Wokeness is essential to get BEYOND oppressor oppressed binary. apple.news/AqkTHo2VMTB6LG…

Watching Trump’s virtual participation speech at the Davos Forum. It is a classic example of smoke and mirrors. Period. Q&A has begun and he is responding with personal grievance examples instead of addressing the questions. “Very, very unfairly,” is a favored phrase.

I’m a small account. To engage w/ thoughtful discussion or challenge misinformation/disinformation, I mostly reply vs posting. I am now strangely being followed by people I’ve mentioned—like Steve Bannon for heavens sake—and mis/disinfo accounts I have not replied to. Why/How?

It looks like—based on his appearance at the post-crash press opportunity— that the ignominious President Trump has had his hair bleached almost white. And his eyebrows. Definitely has a better beautician. Decidedly less orange. Trivial, yes, compared to his shameful performance.

People, read it in their own words. Check other sources if you want. Russia has no motivation for a “lasting peace” without absorbing Ukraine. thedailybeast.com/russian-lawmak…

To counter Trump Regime gaslighting: Ask over and over again, WHY, if so much FRAUD is being exposed, why are there NO names, NO investigations, NO witness affidavits, NO warrants, NO charges, NO grand juries, NO arrests, NO prosecutions—even though PAM&KASH calling the shots.

The Trump-MAGA money megaphone Matt von Swol from Hurricane Helene territory in western North Carolina has locked his account. I cannot him. His followers need to read the truth. When it comes to WNC,Trump leaves Edwards flat on his back avlwatchdog.org/democracy-watc… via @AVLWatchdog

Never UNDERESTIMATE the size of the low information voter, and the singular power of “vibes” to engage these voters. That’s it. All this talk about Dems failing to “communicate their message.” People—communication requires a listener. Vibes, well, require a vibe. Get a vibe, Dems

This account—not an honest broker—does not accept replies unless you are “mentioned.” The allegation that “Housing First failed”is a lie. We know what distinguishes successful strategies from less successful strategies. Scalability/sustainability are the critical links.
