#TwitterMigration refusnik. Lives in reality and wants to make it nicer for all. Politics, Corporate Accountability and the danger that is now Social Media/AdTech/Surveillance.
Seek the truth. Support independent journalists of quality. Support MeidasTouch, ProPublica, etc
"Despite widely reported concerns that the wealthy are choosing to leave the country owing to higher taxes, the survey found millionaires were much more concerned about medical workers moving away than wealthy people emigrating."
They know private healthcare is no good at serious illness and the NHS is always the backstop.

Three-quarters of UK millionaires would be happy to pay more tax, research finds | The super-rich | The Guardian

> Women leaving the beach, going into a shop, or simply standing outside are now being approached by men usually wearing Meta's Ray-Bans, the company's "smart" or "AI" glasses, often in order to film the women's responses to casual questions or pick-up lines without their knowledge or consent.
Perhaps it is time to simply ban them from public.
Whether I'm talking about spy glasses or men, you decide...
Is the Tangerine Tyrant about to abandon the US commitment to keep arms sales to Taiwan as an issue between Washington & Taipei?
On his way to China to meet Xi Jinping, Trump said he was happy to discuss with Xi China's desire for the US to pause sales to the island's defence forces.
This suggests, that the grifter is about to shake down Taiwan (and at least threaten to halt arms support).
More transactional politics looks to be coming for the Taiwanese.
How worried is the Govt. that Palestine Action protestors have the sympathy of juries?
enough to hide from the jury the fact that they would e sentenced not as criminals (having been convicted of criminal damage) but rather as terrorists.
At best, its a grossly unjust manipulation of procedure, and at worst brings the justice system into disrepute as juries are being lied to (albeit by omission).
This Govt.'s 'respect' for the rule of law seems ever weaker!

Finally had a chance to read Sotomayor’s dissent from the shadow docket order. She was joined by Kagan and Jackson, so all six of the justices in the tank for Trump and Republican Fascism were on board with stopping an election already underway.

Brilliant work by #TheNerve on Michael Wolff and #EpsteinFiles
Confession: I bought Wolff's first book on Trump. Came away feeling covered in slime, not just because of Trump's actions - but also Wolff's obvious complicity in allowing Trump and Bannon to shape the narrative.
Never bought or read anything else by Wolff. The Nerve makes the case I only glimpsed.
Contact? Source? Or friend? The curious connection between Michael Wolff and Jeffrey Epstein

The New York media insider has 100 hours of interviews with the dead sex offender. But the Epstein files also reveal an intimate 20-year history of emails between the two men that seems far more than journalistic, writes Ellie Leonard
