Reading social media comments on the news of #telegram founder getting arrested, is so crazy.

People don't know any details of the arrest and are just reacting like, "let's get billionaires", "shut down telegram".

Telegram is a communication platform, similar to whatsapp or signal. Should governments be prying open encrypted messages of every app? #privacy be damned?

Would you react the same way if #Russia arrested the founder of #signal?

Taunting #Trump on #TruthSocial to make him rant about #kamalaharris rallies is brilliant. The #media won't cover the rallies by themselves. But, they cover everything #Trump says.

GOP: The Dems have to stop exaggerating and calling Trump fascist.

Trump: “Get out and vote. Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years. You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine! You won’t have to vote anymore... You gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again.”

I'm sorry, what is he suggesting, exactly? #VoteBlue to save democracy.

Wow. Scientific American blasts SCOTUS rulings:

"Science is dismissed and disdained in this war on reality."

"technically incompetent, in some cases corrupt, politicos in robes with power over matters that hinge on vital facts about pollution, medicine, employment and much else."

"In rejecting facts to please their political party—and their patrons—the justices of the Court’s majority have broken their oath, made to both the Constitution and the American people."

The Supreme Court’s Contempt for Facts Is a Betrayal of Justice

The Supreme Court majority’s recent decisions about homelessness, public health and regulatory power, among others, undermine the role of evidence, expertise and honesty in American democracy

See #nytimes try anyway. But, this has no legs. Obama didn't want to appear to put his thumbs on the scale, for anyone complaining this is rigged or some nonsense like that. Not that I agree.
