“Just another brick in the wall…”

“Instagram algorithm feeding ordinary users antisemitic propaganda;
“Combat Antisemitism Movement study finds users engaging with mainstream self-improvement content are algorithmically exposed to conspiracy theories, antisemitic narratives, and even Nazi propaganda, without actively seeking such material.”—

Gotta keep up with TikTok…

+ Bonus—How Leftist “demos” are “turned” on and off…

“Which NGOs Are Organizing the Newark Protests, and How. How a six-word Signal message shut down a thousand-person protest.”—

Key concept:

…The natural question is how a protest of that size can be turned off with one message. The answer is that it was never a protest in the way most people understand the word. It was an operation — assembled, maintained, and disbanded through an organizational structure that looks, once you map it, like a military deployment with a nonprofit org chart….

I pretty much agree with Charles Harris at 4:04.

I deal with the situation with the observation that negotiations aren’t our problem, they are Iran’s problem. Iran is in a drought, they are not self sufficient in food, their currency relies on oil exports, and June is when oil storage runs out and the wells start to suffer damage. As to oil prices world wide, adjustments are, and will, be made. We can sit on the porch and watch as events unfold.

Yeah about that

Mary Katharine Ham on X: “I do continue to crack up at this idea that Democrat politician moral fiber was so high at some point. When I started working, the Senate Democratic caucus was home to Sen.

Saw a report a day or so ago with what remains of the, more or less, civilian government saying they have no more say; the IRGC is in complete control.
Presuming this is the case, with whom do we negotiate? How much more killing does it take to convince the IRGC? Bering at least superficially military in structure, they no doubt have lines of succession well known and probably generally accepted.

I guess Trump’s policy here is economic blockade. The siege of cities in wars have often involved the enemy building walls around a city to starve it out.
