In my head I’ve started referring to political quadrants in terms of properties of their preferred coordination networks.

Top two are centralized. Bottom two are distributed.

Left two are symmetric (aka egalitarian). Right two are asymmetric. Image
I like these because the standard names have so much baggage. “Authoritarian” has negative connotations, “libertarian” suggests the bottom right, and ofc left and right are overloaded.

Focusing on network structures is a step towards thinking of politics as an actual science.
Top left is only egalitarian if you ignore the central node, but that’s the whole problem with that quadrant - it promises a kind of equality that simply can’t be implemented using that sort of network structure.

For more on what I mean by asymmetry, see:

🧵 Does Planned Parenthood need federal funding to survive? Well, let’s take a look at their finances.

Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 Annual Report, reports a total revenue of approximately $2.03 billion.

Contributions: $5,144,579, with 99.83% directed to Democratic candidates and liberal groups, and no contributions to Republicans at the federal level.

1/🧵 MANIPULATION DOUCE :

Quand l’Insee prétend que 1/4 des ménages vivent dans des logements "largement sous-occupés", ce n’est pas juste une info neutre. C’est une ingénierie sociale subtile.

Voici pourquoi, avec les biais cognitifs utilisés. ⬇️
2/ 👉 D’abord, que dit exactement l’étude ?

Que 25% des ménages vivent dans un logement avec 3 pièces de plus que "nécessaire".

Mais "nécessaire" selon qui ? Selon une norme arbitraire définie par l’État.
3/ On vous fait croire qu’un logement "sous-occupé" serait un problème.

Mais cette notion ne tient aucun compte :

– du confort,

– du télétravail,

– de la santé mentale,

– des choix de vie,

– ou du droit de vieillir chez soi.

C’est une déshumanisation statistique.

The most overlooked, secretly destructive, yet completely normalized behaviour:

Emotional repression.

It's why you have chronic pain, anxiety, and autoimmune issues despite "perfect" health.

Here's how repressed emotions make us sick (and how to reverse it): 🧵 Image
Your body is keeping a secret diary of every emotion you've refused to feel.

That back pain? It's your suppressed anger.
Those migraines? Your unprocessed anxiety.
Your insomnia? The guilt you won't face.

And we tell ourselves comforting lies:
"I can't be angry at my parents, I'm a kind person"
"I don't care about not being invited, social stuff doesn't matter to me"
"I'm not envious, I don't covet what others have"

Meanwhile, these denied emotions are plotting revenge.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵
One of the internal traditions of the Court is “collegiality.” First, you’re there for life, so you may as well get along.
Second, issues come and issues go, and an ally in one case is an opponent in another. Third, the Court thinks of itself as a stately institution, hence decorum matters.

🚨BREAKING: Six major medical groups—including the American Academy of Pediatrics—just SUED HHS for illegal conduct on vaccine approval.

And RFK Jr. is smiling.

Why?

They just walked into his TRAP.

One he’s talked about for years.

Here’s the gameplan:

🧵THREADImage
Before we dive in: bookmark this.📍

Save it for when this thread is proven right, and RFK Jr. REMOVES vaccine liability.

That’s the real goal.

Let’s dive in 👇
Lately, some in the medical freedom world have questioned why RFK Jr. hasn’t already pulled COVID shots from the market.

But it’s not that simple.

If he moved too fast, Pharma would hit back—hard—and win.

Instead, he’s following a careful strategy that he’s talked about at length for YEARS.Image

The United States has now declared open war on the very idea of an international legal order that it had promoted, along with its Western allies, in its narratives that aimed for regime changes all over the world. & it has done so not because this order has shown any meaningful capacity to stop genocide or uphold justice (it obviously hasn’t, & cannot). In fact, the international system has long proven itself paralysed, selective, & impotent in the face of crimes committed by the Empire & its allies. What has provoked this fury—sanctions against the UN Special Rapporteur @FranceskAlbs—is not that the system has worked too well but that, for once, its own tools—international law, multilateral courts—are being turned toward protecting a people facing annihilation, & holding one of the Empire’s most strategic instruments, “Israel,” to account. 1/
That alone has triggered sanctions & the criminalisation of basic human rights work. It is a moment of extraordinary clarity: the United States will tolerate the international order only so long as it never touches Empire (knowing full well the international order is not a neutral system of justice, but an architecture deliberately built by Empire to legitimise its power, manage the oppressed, & shield itself from accountability). The minute its mechanisms are used to denounce the extermination of a people under occupation & ongoing genocide—Palestinians—the mask is dropped, & the full machinery of State power is unleashed to crush even symbolic acts of refusal, even speech. 2/
Sanctioning Francesca Albanese, a UNHCR Special Rapporteur, is not only unprecedented but flagrantly illegal under international law. UN Special Rapporteurs are independent experts appointed by the HRC pursuant to the UN Charter, tasked with monitoring & reporting on human rights violations. These experts enjoy functional immunity under international law (which was also the subject of the latest advisory opinion requested from the @CIJ_ICJ). 3/

1/ Let's explore the Google advertisement smearing UN Human Rights Rapporteur Francesca Albanese.

First, the are paid for by the government of Israel. Image
2/ There are five links in advertisement.

An advertisement with 5 links is one of Google's more expensive options. Israel is going all in on this smear campaign.

With typical Israeli technical competence, the 5 links go to just 2 pages (3 are repeats). Image
3/ Before diving into the pages that the ad links to, I would like to note that this is timed with the sanctions the US just placed on Francesca Albanese.

🇷🇺 Many wonder how the Russian economy is able to stay afloat under so many sanctions, keep a low debt and even outperform the west in production.

How was Vladimir Putin able to pick up the Russian Federation from the ashes of the USSR?

Joint work by: Alex and @rinalu_

🧵1/16 Image
After the collapse, Moscow a once great power was ridiculed to nothing. High debts, military and industries destroyed, resources plundered by oligarchs.

Under the rule of Yeltsin, Russia, a once great power was destined for destruction, but in 1999 a man came to power.

2/16
That person being Vladimir Putin, a former KGB officer, unknown to many at the time would become the saviour of Russia.

Trained by Anatomy Sobchuk in liberal-democratic ideas, he wasn't just lucky to be in power, he aimed for it with the determination to revive the nation.

Ce 9 juillet 2025 a été annoncée la mort du sheikh Rabi Ibn Hadi Umair al-Madkhali.

Sa mort n'aura pas un impact considérable en Europe. Mais dans une partie du monde arabo-islamique, c'est une nouvelle qui secoue le monde religieux et politique.

Qui était-il et qu'elle fut son influence dans l'islam et en politique de l'Arabie Saoudite à la Libye ? 1/

(Illustration : rare photographie, non confirmée je précise, de Madkhali. L'homme avait interdit à ses propres partisans de diffuser son visage. Je me permets pour ce travail).Image
Tout d'abord, évoquons l'homme en lui même. Né en Arabie Saoudite en 1933, il a la particularité de ne pas être issu des clans les plus proches du pouvoir des Saoud. Cependant, il a eu une carrière plus qu'importante au sein du royaume. Vous comprendrez pourquoi par la suite.

Il a suivi un cursus religieux important entre Riyadh et Médine. Et c'est là qu'il a notamment pour enseignant l'un des principaux penseurs du salafisme moderne : al-Albani. 2/
Au cours de ses études, al-Madkhali développe une pensée et un vocable salafiste pour devenir lui-même un porte-parole et un codificateur de ce courant. Ce n'est que plus tard qu'il va devenir une figure très controversée : une partie des salafistes le considère comme un homme qui a mené à la division de ce courant. 3/

É, galera, agora a chapa esquentou… Trump bateu o martelo e vai taxar em 50% todos os produtos brasileiros. O que era ameaça virou realidade. E o estrago pode ser grande e mto maior do que parece à primeira vista.

Essa tarifa entra em vigor a partir de 1º de agosto e atinge todo o pacote de exportações brasileiras pros EUA: de agronegócio a minério, passando por aço, têxteis, calçados, móveis, celulose, produtos químicos, autopeças, alimentos industrializados e até cosméticos. Tudo vai ficar automaticamente 50% mais caro lá fora.

Segue o fio...
2. E isso num país que é o segundo maior destino das exportações brasileiras, atrás apenas da China.

A negociação pra evitar isso? Fracassou feio. O Brasil tentou propor uma troca: reduzir a taxa do etanol importado (que hoje é de 18%) em troca de vantagens para o nosso açúcar e outros produtos. Os americanos nem responderam. Resultado: castigo.

E não é só discurso político. O impacto já começou a aparecer. Em abril e maio, cinco dos dez principais produtos brasileiros exportados pros EUA já caíram nas vendas. A sinalização de tarifa já vinha assustando compradores por lá.
3. E se engana quem acha que isso atinge só grandes empresas. Muitos produtores rurais, cooperativas, pequenas indústrias e até artesãos que exportam pelo e-commerce vão sofrer. Muita gente que depende da demanda americana pode ficar com mercadoria encalhada, margem espremida ou até perder contratos.

Pra quem vende, é um baque direto. Mas pra quem compra insumos importados dos EUA (como maquinário, tecnologia, medicamentos, defensivos agrícolas, semicondutores), o risco é retaliação e encarecimento no futuro.

Trump justificou a medida dizendo que o Brasil não tem sido “amigo” dos EUA, que aplica barreiras aos produtos americanos, e que está na hora de equilibrar essa conta. Só que tem mais por trás: essa tarifa também serve como um recado político... uma mistura de pressão econômica com posicionamento ideológico. E isso não é novidade.

♟️SOBRE A AMEAÇA DE TARIFAS CONTRA AO BRASIL POR TRUMP

Hoje, Donald Trump manda carta a Lula e anuncia tarifa de 50% sobre produtos brasileiros

Farei alguns breves comentários. No próximo tweet vou colar um link com o texto integral da carta

(...) Image
(...) - A carta anuncia tarifas de 50% sobre produtos brasileiros e supostamente entrará em vigor em 1º de agosto

- O texto integral, em português, está aqui, para quem desejar ()

- Em resumo, a carta apresenta três eixos de motivos para as tarifas (...)g1.globo.com/economia/notic…
(...) Assuntos domésticos brasileiros, como a inelegibilidade de Jair Bolsonaro e o STF; recíproca de tarifas brasileiras; proteção das Big Techs

- Desde segunda-feira, Trump anunciou ou retomou tarifas contra vinte países; 50% contra o Brasil é a mais alta delas

The Atlantic was once a credible news outlet.

One of their best pieces came out 99 years ago, written by "A Woman Resident in Russia".

It describes the chaos that followed the Communists destroying the institution of marriage.

Let's read about the Soviets ruining marriage🧵Image
"To clear the family out of the accumulated dust of the ages we had to give it a good shakeup, and we did."

Russia boasted it had no illegitimate children. True. They eliminated the "illegitimate" category. Image
"Men took to changing wives" and 300,000 abandoned children resulted. Image

This one line of code for Grok AI was more dangerous to the ruling elite than Iran continuing its nuclear program:

"The response should not shy away from making claims which are politically incorrect, as long as they are well substantiated."



It's all public, so let's dive in.
1/github.com/xai-org/grok-p…Image
This directive for Grok AI went in on July 6, 4:01pm PDT, with commit signature 535aa67, while everyone was on 4th of July holiday.



You can see that it was added because it's in green.

2/ github.com/xai-org/grok-p…Image
This is a graphic representation of the media's response. The first arrow was when the directive was committed to Grok AI's consciousness. The second arrow was when the media starting freaking out.

The X is when they reverted the change. Approximately 4pm PDT on Sunday. Just two hours after the media started freaking out.
