#Introduction: I started building #worlds on the #internet nearly 30 years ago. I’m an expert in #AR, #VR, #AI, and #ARGs.
Over 2 years ago, I started exposing the people abusing the digital world to #radicalize people and destabilize global #liberal #democracy.
I was banned from the #birdsite w/60k followers and smeared by hundreds of sadistic trolls because I exposed #MikeFlynn, #QAnon and the #insurrection
Grateful for #mastodon and my new home toad.social. 💙🙏🇺🇸🏴☠️

@sanchezcastejon "Throughout history, #migration has been one of the great drivers of the development of nations while hatred & #xenophobia have been – & continue to be – the greatest destroyer of nations!"
Olé, Pedro Sánchez!💃🏻👏

Spain approves decree to regularise half a million undocumented migrants
Move affecting those who have been in Spain five months or more runs counter to anti-migration policies across EuropeSam Jones (The Guardian)
Yes, It’s #Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many & too strong to deny.

A Strategy to End the Trump Regime
Trump’s regime looks chaotic on the surface, but that chaos is not a strategy. It’s what happens when a government runs on Veruca Salt tactics: tantrums, ent...YouTube
This text on resistance in Minneapolis reminds me so much of @pluralistic 's book "Little Brother". It shows that groups need not be powerless victims, even when facing evil.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some prot…skywriter.blue
Earlier Rep #TedLieu (D-CA) kicked some #GOP ass for their #lies & #hypocrisy.
Lieu called out his Republican colleagues for choosing to hold a hearing on #JackSmith’s probes into #Trump instead of an oversight hearing into #DOJ’s slow release of files related to the late sex offender #JeffreyEpstein.

#StewartRhodes, the founder of the #FarRight #extremist organization the #OathKeepers, was seen on Capitol Hill on Thursday outside of the hearing room where former special counsel #JackSmith is testifying before the #House #Judiciary Committee.
Rhodes was previously convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & sentenced to 18 YEARS in #prison for his actions related to the #Jan6, 2021 #insurrection at the US Capitol.

Rep #HankJohnson (D-GA) is also questioning #JackSmith very effectively. Unfortunately it is very clear that this “hearing” is designed to be a sound bite generator for the #Republicans to shop around to #FarRight #media outlets.

#House #Judiciary Committee #JackSmith testimony is back in session after a long recess for unrelated House votes.

#Republican #House #Judiciary Committee members are going to focus on things like #CassidyHutchinson & the #subpoenas for #Congress members’ phone logs, because if they let #JackSmith get into the actual #evidence he gathered against #Trump, it will be damning.

Also the grandstanding performative courtroom drama behavior of the #congress members is quite heavy handed. #JackSmith who has repeatedly been described as measured & calm is coming off a little stiff especially because he keeps being interrupted. He needs to come back at them like they are hostile witnesses.

On #Jan6, 2021, over 140 law enforcement officers were assaulted, #JackSmith plans to tell #Congress, “a fact we should never forget.”
“Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President #Trump engaged in criminal activity. If asked whether to prosecute a former President based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that President was a Republican or a Democrat.”

“Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 presidential #election, President #Trump engaged in a #criminal scheme to overturn the results & prevent the lawful transfer of power,” #JackSmith wrote in his prepared statement.

“I am not a politician, & I have no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law,” #JackSmith says in his prepared statement.
Smith is expected to tell #Congress that his approach is to always follow the facts without fear or favor.

Judge blocks #Trump admin from searching data seized from #WashingtonPost reporter
The seizure “chills speech, cripples reporting, & inflicts irreparable harm,” The Post said in statement.
Government officials may not examine electronic devices seized from a Post reporter until litigation stemming from the search of her home is settled, a federal judge in Virginia ruled Wednesday.
