Taiwan independent publication The Reporter's official Instagram & Threads accounts were suspended without notice today. They have filed an appeal with Meta.
Since yesterday, many pro-democracy outlets and Taiwan-centered personnalities in Taiwan have seen their Meta acounts suspended.
Worrisome.
That The New York Times did not lead with the Knicks' title is final proof that The Times is not a New York newspaper anymore.
The Laura Loomer firings have always been incredibly sketchy. They went deep into personnel, removing people with no public profile. And a lot of them had basic competence and left critical gaps. How did Loomer develop her list, and why was it acted on so quickly and faithfully?
The result will be US industry behind the rest of the world in next gen technology and higher costs for consumers and investment costs for manufacturing. This was a deliberate choice by Trump and Musk to punish rivals and boost their backers at a huge cost to US consumers and competitiveness
Has the look of inconsequential ravings, but somehow Trump is responsive to Loomer. And she repeatedly arrives with new ideas on whom to fire or strange policies. She had turned on Kirk before his murder. We know very little about where it all comes from
Marcy points out more strange narratives from Loomer about Trump administration officials, this time outgoing DNI Tulsi. And that Loomer seems to have flipped her attitude on Ukraine. All curious given Loomer's history of driving firings of competent staff deep in the bureaucracy
Somehow Loomer gets the inside track on a lot of mundane activity in the intelligence community and exercises oversight and power over staffing. Where is her info coming from, and how are her targets chosen. This all undermines our security, and the public doesn't know what power is behind it
Appears to be the membership of a Peter Thiel discussion list called Dialogue. A lot of names you'd expect along with some surprising ones
