Technically, SCOTUS didn't do anything. They refused to take up the case, which means the 5th Circuit's ruling, that superseded both lower courts that affirmed it was illegal by saying "we'll address it next year after the primaries," was the final say.

The thing that needs to be made sense of is why the 5th Circuit is allowed to operate in bad-faith as a rubber stamp for everything Conservative.

There's a reason Trump is getting RICO charges in Georgia, and it might be because he's the boss of a mob of violent idiots.

This. All of this. It's fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn't mean much if people can't easily find them.

It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.

I smell a biography book deal and a string of news appearances where he talks shit about how the GOP has lost its way.

Wow, a whole list of "things that never happened."

Please, get help to escape the conspiracy feedback loop you're obviously in.

Yes, but have you considered that if we legalize weed, Satan might get your kids?

They're not guilty for the things their users do. Bad actors are all over Facebook, so revealing a government was using their platform for nefarious purposes is more like, "See? We can be good guys, too!" It's positive PR to be proactive like that.

They said top three, but I see you, Commander.

Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.

I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.

I don't think it's an agenda, I think it's just poorly delivered. The facts are:

  • Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.

  • Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.

I think it's safe to assume that he's intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone's Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).

I don't think it's unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.
