I’d say expand your sources and embargo the media sources who are lying.
Mastodon is a pretty good option to discover better media sources, since they tend to represent the companies and content creators who have wisely recognized what Elmo is doing on the Birdshite and they’ve sought out an honest alternative. Threads is potentially good as well.
The “feeds” being pushed at you otherwise in other centralized platforms, and obviously broadcast, cable, and satellite media, are profit seeking algorithm driven. They offer you sponsor approved content with high potential for engagement rather than the truth.
It does take a bit more work.

Tik Tok requires that I install their app on my mobile devices granting them full and unrestricted access through that app to all my contacts, location data, calling data, texts, emails, browswer history, video files, and search history.
Tik Tok is then free *because I will have given them permission to do so by installing their app* to resell any or all of that data to whomever they choose, including individuals, governments, corporations, and even criminals.
I’m not a paranoid privacy freak. I have a Pixel phone, and use a full suite of Google/Alphabet services and products, But at least they allow me to specify which of my data they can access and/or share. And at least they allow me to delete that data from their servers.
But I try not to be stupid. And I certainly won’t hand my contacts and emails over to organized criminals.
Moreover, as a short video sharing platform dominated by amateur influencers focusing on building revenues through sharing, and in a modern environment of simple, easy, online DeepFake utilities, it isn’t at all clear to me how Tik Tok can be claimed to outperform any other media reporting source in terms of reliability. It’s worse than “media for the masses”. It’s media for Shortbus.

Trump’s state level operation is entirely independent of the party.
Biden’s is entirely all-in with the state party orgs, workers, and state level political organizations.
Trump is doing absolutely nothing at all for Kari Lake in Arizona. And despite being almost guaranteed to take the primary, she is still struggling to get Arizona Republicans to return her phone calls.
Biden is fully invested in Arizona Democratic Party, SEIU, teachers, nurses, and the state in backing Gallego.

Broaddrick.
Thanks for stepping on that rake so hard, Dumbfuck.
Because not only is it completely untrue that there is any legal basis connecting your tiresome claims about Clinton, but it is helpful in reminding us all just how dramatic the comparison really is.
Broaddrick’s intial public media claim dates to 1978. Over the ensuing almost five decades she has recanted and repudiated the claim thousands of times, many of them in sworn depositions under oath. And Bill Clinton’s denial has never waivered.
However, owing entirely to the original local media claim in Arkansas, the Republican Party and more than a dozen billionaire funded “public interest” private companies have pursued the claim relentlessly throughout those five decades, up to and including years of House committee investigations, and a Indpendent Counsel investigation. All of which produced nothing.
Trump raped women lots. He admitted to it on tape. He corroborated the authenticity of that tape on television and supported his own claims made on that tape. A court of law found him guilty of having raped. There has never been any criminal investigation into any of Trump’s rapes.
And the major media have mostly reported on the claims obliquely, never even toucing on the implications of his own admissions.
And today Bill Clinton is a lonely retired philanthropist while Donald Trump is the Republican Party nominee for president.
Remember when Dumbfuck was stuck on insisting that then Senator Joe Biden had finger fucked an employee (who later turned out to be a mentally disturbed felon) in broad daylight in the middle of one of the busiest pedestiran corridors in the world on a weekday and somehow nobody witnessed it?

You seem to be confused about the privacy settings of TikTok. You can actually deny them access to your contacts. You can actually use the service from a firewalled PC if you desire. You can set the privacy so that even if a friend gives access to THEIR contacts and your in the list you haven’t given up any other information. You can turn off location tracking and TikTok will have no greater access to your movements than any other app that you likely have installed on your phone right now. Use your camera? Google knows where you are. Your mobile carrier definitely knows where you are. What is it about TikTok that makes anyone think that kind of information is MORE dangerous in the hands of TikTok than Amazon?
Does TikTok attempt to get you to confirm those settings from time to time so they CAN get access? Of course. In the very same way that Google does every time the update Android based devices. Same way as iOS and AWS has every single bit of your web browsing through their hosted websites.
Traditional media isn’t going to schoolboard meetings and documenting the Moms for Liberty freaks screaming about how “Horton Hears a Who” is about interspecies comingling. They aren’t signing up for Mom’s for Liberty to get their newsletters and exposing their promotion “Operation White Christmas” (by National Justice Party, a well known antisemite White Supremacist organization) because traditional ‘charities focus too much on minorities.’ You aren’t going to see a Renton City Councilwoman on KING 5 or hear her on KIRO Radio but she’s on TikTok.
Congress hates it because a 12 year old looking into a camera and sobbing after a school shooting is WAY more effective that a reporter standing outside the school telling you nothing except the number believed killed.
Is TikTok sweeping up the data of millions of people too stupid to protect themselves in the same way Kroeger got them to sign up for the profile without having the good sense to use a fake name, address and phone number of your childhoood best friend? Of course.

Using some device that you have not installed the app to, with a clean cache and a non-tracking browser like Firefox, and without logging in to your Tik Tok account, try using the site to access something of interest to you.
While you are at it, would you mind logging the number of pop-ups you have to close or otherwise fight your way through, along with asian influencer videos, and other advertisements to get to the important independent media content you describe?
Perhaps with enough add-ons and browser extensions it’s feasible to access the full content on the site efficiently and pleasantly using a browser. I’ll take your word for it. But as surely you must know, that only survives as long as the platform tolerates it. And as we’ve seen so manyh times before, once the use of pop-up blockers, anonymizers, or cookie blockers reaches some threshold these platforms working in close collaboration with search and browser companies will delete that functionality eventually.
I’m quite happy with the options available to me from decentralized ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon. If you say that makes me “an old man yelling at clouds” I’ll just have to take your word for that too.

This really isn’t even any kind of an exaggeration.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/04/alaska-hawaiian-airline-merger-faces-justice-department-scrutiny.html
(2) The tender offer of $18 a share is approximately 3.7x the market value of the company last Friday.
(3) Hawaiian’s stock nearly tripled today (Monday), closing at $14.22 for a one-day gain of 192%. Meanwhile, Alaska’s stock dropped over 14% today, suggesting Alaska shareholders think management is grossly overpaying for Hawaiian Holdings.
(4) There is a not-insignificant risk that the deal won’t go through because of DOJ antitrust concerns, as reflected in the nearly $4 arbitrage the market has placed on the potential deal. Alaska’s execs knew of this risk all along. They’ve also had many months to acquire Hawaiian Holdings stock at prices ranging from $4 to $8. If Alaska pulls out of the deal for any reason, they’ll also know that before the public does, giving them an opportunity to dump Hawaiian’s stock while it’s up in anticipation of the deal.
(5) If I were the SEC, I’d be looking very closely for indications of insider buying of HA and selling of ALK ahead of the announcement, and selling HA and buying ALK after, because this deal makes damned little sense except as a stock pump-and-dump.

Inspectors keep finding children performing dirty and dangerous jobs in meat plants. This isn’t just one company, or in one state. There’s a pattern here. And even if the workers are supplied by a third-party labor contractor, there’s no fucking way the plant managers and companies don’t know what’s going on in their processing plants.
Meat plants were in the news back in Covid’s early days, too, for violating Covid safety protocols. In some plants, Covid outbreaks killed numerous workers. Typically these plants employ non-English speaking immigrants, including illegals, at low wages. Many of the children found working in these plants are from places like Guatemala.
This is a nasty, nasty industry. And George W. Bush wanted to deregulate it. Remember his plan to privatize meat inspection? The federal inspectors would’ve been fired, and the meatpackers would’ve received federal grants for the salaries of inspectors who would be the meatpackers’ employees and under their direction and control.

At first Ms. Klusman appeared to chuckle and state that, “You’re really testing my medical knowledge and I don’t…is that a fetal abnormality?”
YES YOU CLUELESS CUNT! Not only is that a fetal abnormality where a ‘preborn child’ has not developed a skull at all leaving the brain free to slosh about within the cranial cavity, it is 100% fatal, what exists of the brain will be smashed to goo in delivery and under a c-section no baby has ever been known to survive the condition,
IT IS THE EXACT CONDITION SOME OF THE PLAINTIFFS WERE DIAGNOSED WITH AND DOCTORS TOLD THEM THEY WERE NOT COMFORTABLE ABORTING BECAUSE THEY FEARED BEING CHARGED WITH A CRIME BECAUSE THE MOTHER’S LIFE WAS NOT THE ONE IN DANGER.
In testimony at trial one of the plaintiffs vomited on the stand while describing having to watch her baby die due to not having a skull after delivery.
Apparently the lawyer for the state hasn’t read the case. Once she learned what the condition was she admitted that no, because it was not a life of the mother situation that no the exception would not apply to Acrania.

Adoption is likely if you are white or newborn or a girl or not drug effected or not disabled.
There 391,000 children in foster care and about 113,589 children in the United States were waiting to be adopted. The forced birthers have not stepped and adopted or fostered the kids who are older or male or not white or drug effected or disabled or LGBTQ+.

You should look into how Heritage under Trump recommended getting rid of it altogether because we don’t use as much oil and it had never been used for it’s founding purpose. That founding purpose is actually a lie conservatives make up about ‘security in war.’

Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
The first is not an element of the relevant statute. The second is not the only element nor is it exclusive. And neither is relevant to the application for a subpoena, except and only insofar as the statute outlines what the relevant evidence sought by the subpoena might be.
In seeking a subpoena the applicant must provide some evidence in the form of an affidavit showing some reason why the evidence sought by the subpoena can be relevant to, in this case, the defense, and that the subpoena is neither overly broad or overly burdensome. The subpoena sought for the former attorney general and the former president extends to relevant communications and documents pertaining to communications between the subjects and the relevant investigatory agency concerning the the present charges. These are not privileged records. And they are easily accessed. The subpoena provides ample reference to precedent and dicta supporting discovery in cases of criminal prosecutions in which any evidence existed that the independent function of the prosecutor was influenced in any way by their political overseers. Is such evidence of influence relevant? Yes it is according to the referenced case law. The applicant need not prove even a single element of the statute. The applicant need only provide the rational relationship between the relevant evidence and the applicants defense, again in a light most favorable to the applicant.
And by the way, the Special Counsel does not file a “rejection” of such an application. The Special Counsel files their response. Like most responses to motions or applications before the court by opposing counsel, it is nearly always expected to oppose, whether “scathing” or merely “thoughtful”.
Ultimately, when all is said and done Dumbfuck is going to be once again humiliated by the outcome in all of this. Like any high stakes legal case there will be a few twists and turns. But it honestly give my heart even greater joy to know that on his way toward that inevitable humiliation and defeat the giddy dipshit will face a gantlet of emotional whipsawing because he is relying for his legal analysis on one of Rupert Murdoch’s Australian tabloid bimbos.
So why is the Weiss response so “emotional” and strident?
And why would it waste time and even bother to challenge the applicant on statute?
These are excellent questions. And they are questions I’ve actually brought here before in one form or another when it comes to the conduct and strategy of the Special Counsel. I would suggest it’s because he already knows that through his own prior mistakes he himself provided Abbe Lowell with the required basis in defense to support subpoena applications like these. Competent, experienced prosecutors will have already suspected this. And many will be drawn to this conclusion. But as we all must surely know by now, absolutely none of the Republicans serving on the House and Senate committees that now control the Special Counsel are now or have ever been competent or experienced in much of anything other than televised political theater and filing fraudulent claims for federal crop insurance. So it is extremely helpful for Weiss to flood the zone with irrelevant bullshit to trigger mouth breathers like Farmer Jim and our own incredibly stupid and gullible troll.

Trump intends to use his defense testimony next Monday to deliberately and provocatively violate the judge’s order restricting him from verbally mocking, harassing, and targeting his clerk.
It looks to me like Engoron is more than intelligent enough to recognize this. My guess is he will only give Trump very little slack before he terminates his testimony and calls for a recess. At that point it will come down to a test of wills, but one in which the judge holds most of the cards. It’s his court. And he enjoys plenty of leeway and authority when it comes to how he operates in his court with respect to protecting public safety and due process. I suspect he would prefer to avoid anything approaching jailing the stupid fuck. And he wouldn’t want to forbid the defendant from testifying in his own defense.
However, we’ve all seen plenty of examples of bug fuck Republican defendants demanding to “testify” in their own defense prevented from making crazed, rambling speeches about Rosicrucian conspiracies and Chem Trails nonsense. This is nothing new. And the law has actually dealt with this shit before plenty of times.

As Sergeant Joe Friday would say, “just the facts, ma’am, just the facts.” So here are the facts:
“Since 2015 Congress has mandated sales of oil from the reserve to fund federal spending. The U.S. Department of Energy has run at least seven sales since 2017, selling 132 million barrels, or about 18.2% of what had been in the reserve.
“On March 31, 2022, President Joe Biden announced that his administration would release 1 million barrels of oil per day from the reserve for the next 180 days, selling it at an average price of $96 per barrel. After oil prices declined during the second half of the year, in December the administration announced it would begin replenishing the SPR in early 2023, expecting to purchase oil at a lower price than it was sold, a process that would take months or years to complete. In December 2023, the Department of Energy began acquiring crude oil to refill the reserve at an average price of $79, earning a taxpayer return of over $20 per barrel.
“According to legislation already in place, the amount of oil in the reserve could fall to 238 million barrels by 2028. This will be a 67% reduction to the oil in the reservoir since 2010.”

The US gets most of its importer oil from Canada and Mexico. This is by design. A lesson we learned in the 70s. The Pentagon buys oil for themselves. It’s part of the budget. For your fantasy to matter, the military would have to burn through all their reserves without any administration making a deal to increase imports from our very long standing ally Canada or increase Domestic production (say, is this a good time for the GOP to make fun of the Pentagons increasing roll out of renewables and research into e-vehicle technology) THEN need to tap the SPR.
In 1990 we did a test sale of SPR reserves, 5m barrels during an ACTUAL war with an oil producing nation. That’s it. That’s the sun total of SPR releases for the Pentagon. Tell me…do we have 5m if needed. Yeah. By a factor of 350.
