So it seems kinda problematic that:
— Iran is circulating at least 3 different versions of this peace deal.
—The US can’t seem to cough up even one version, even though it’s supposedly just 1.5 pages long.
— The architects of the deal are Witkoff and Kushner.

Coming up on 10 yrs since 2016 elections. By 2018, the Senate concluded foreign interference in our elections deterred ppl from Clinton, pushing support for Trump thru platform manipulation.
Years of platform pressure, research, Hill advocacy -- we're more fragmented. No fed laws. Research gutted.
Trump and these CEOs curry each other's favor for personal gain at the expense of climate, democracies, people, culture. Convicted felons. Sickos. Palantir, Alex Karp, has said Nazis have interesting things to say. Musk keeps trying to buy elections.
I made it one minute in before I rage quit
The authoritarian-tech billionaire stack is a compact to build power for an elite few at the expense of opportunity, equity, democracy. Nothing was solved. It has only been entrenched. Access to capital, esp for BIPOC/marginalized, is near impossible. TBH, tech governance is an affordability issue.
Wealth gaps are growing rapidly. Musk is the first “trillionaire” – a term once used only ironically & considered once unfathomable. And the rest of the tech billionaire stack is benefiting from collaborations with Trump, who remains in power despite attempting to overturn the 2020 election.
Congress has held dozens (over 50!) hearings abt platforms, “Big Tech” & how to rein in harmful algorithms. No bills have passed both chambers. The closest in last 9 yrs is Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act, to limit govt purchases of our private & sensitive data – which passed the full House.
