I’m hoping the community here posts on nostr first. 🤞I’m not ready for a forced digital detox! 🤨
Using Nitter was how I’ve been privately browsing Twitter. It looks like Twitter has blocked all unregistered users from viewing any content.
People are being corralled on the path to making everyone a blue check. nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx has been warning the nudges will increase to get everyone registered and KYC’d.

This is an interesting clip. My read on this is that nostr:npub1hq0kkf67h5n63uz0l5zac94un73jnjudn3ryh3aahagx3qvwq0qq8wf9mp gets caught off guard and lies about what occurred. Look at his face as he tries to deflect and navigate the response “I was unaware of it…”
He probably even doesn’t know what Moms For Liberty is all about which is why he accepts the narrative presented in the question and gets defensive.
Not his finest moment. People expect straight talk and truth.

Who’s remains? Billionaire and others have a “boating accident”… 🤔

The TM beside “settled science” makes me think it’s parody. Can’t tell these days. 🤷♂️
It seems likely that the Federal government will be used to bail out the blue states at the expense of the red states. That got me thinking about how states like Texas might legally succeed.
AI drafted legal arguments:
1. Ninth and Tenth Amendments: The Tenth Amendment reserves to the states or to the people powers not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution. The Ninth Amendment states that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. From this, advocates might argue that the right of secession is one of those unenumerated rights retained by the people or the states. The states freely entered and there was no agreement at the time that they could not freely leave.
2. Principle of Popular Sovereignty: Advocates for secession could argue from the principle of popular sovereignty—that the authority of a state or its government is created and sustained by the consent of its people. Given the Ninth Amendment’s assertion of unenumerated rights retained by the people, it could be argued that if the people of Texas choose to withdraw that consent, they should have the right to secede.
3. Right of Revolution: The argument could be made using the “Right of Revolution” as suggested by philosophers like John Locke, and hinted at in the Declaration of Independence. This principle argues that the people have a right to alter or abolish a government that becomes destructive of their inalienable rights. The Ninth Amendment could be invoked to suggest that this right, while unenumerated, is retained by the people.
What prevents a Texit?
The Supreme Court’s decision in Texas v. White, stated that unilateral secession is not legal. When I looked at the case, it seems the court did not even consider the 9th and 10th amendments. 🤔
How many did your country do to you? 
Interesting to see the similarities between the Aztec’s belief in human sacrifice and the climate alarmists.
The Aztecs believed that sacrificing children would please the gods and ensure favorable weather and harvests, while climate alarmists advocate for sacrificing our health and living standards for long-term benefits for the planet.
It’s great to see that our superstitions have kinda made progress. At least we’re not cutting out hearts (yet).
They participated in the coordinated deplatforming of Alex Jones. That’s the precedent they use again when the platform is “uncontrollable”.
I’ve heard some commentators claim that the world will be worse off when America loses its hegemonic control over the world.
I’m not so sure.
Monopolies breed corruption and complacency. While America has been the sole superpower, it has focused externally on starting wars rather than internally on the health and welfare of its citizens.
America’s best days was when it was competing. Its entrepreneurial spirit, prosperity, and moral compass made it a “shining city on a hill”.
I’m hoping those days return.
We’re winning. “ESG” is getting toxic and they are now rebranding to “conscientious capitalism”.

Wishing you safe travels, with no delays or air pressurization difficulties on little ears. 🤞
Paper bitcoin happened, to suck up demand and redirect from real (spot) bitcoin.
The bitcoin futures ETFs launched and FTX sold bitcoin that they never actually purchased.
