1. Facebook promised to hire thousands of people to review political ads. But Facebook admitted to me that it still relies on "automated tools"

Those tools aren't working

You can now watch the Trump campaign scam Facebook users in real time

popular.info/p/how-the-trum…
2. Today, Trump has dozens of ads promoting a contest: "Enter before 11:59PM TONIGHT for the chance to win the 1,000,000th red MAGA hat HAND-SIGNED by President Trump."

BUT it also promoted a midnight deadline for this contest on May 27, 25, 24, and 23

3. This is an obvious violation of Facebook's rule against "False and Misleading Content"

But Facebook (a $525 billion company) is missing it & I'm not because I'm devoting more resources to the issue

4. While the MAGA hat contest is a standard grift for email addresses and donations, the Trump campaign also continues to run false and misleading ads on hot button issues like the Second Amendment and immigration

popular.info/p/how-the-trum…
5. These policy ads have been running for weeks by Trump with no comment from Facebook. I asked Facebook for comment and have not gotten a response.

I will update this thread if I hear from them.

In the meantime, I will continue to do the work Facebook should be doing.

2. The company has not made a public statement, but popular.info learned of the move from a source familiar with Bayer's decision-making

The company's reconsideration comes after Bayer's return to Tucker Carlson went viral & not in a good way popular.info/p/exclusive-ba…

1. Buried in the legal filings of the 2020 Census case is PROOF that the Department of Justice is lying about how this scheme was hatched.

This gets in the weeds a bit but stick with me.

It's worth it.
2. To understand what is happening, you have to understand the information flow.

Tom Hofeller, who was on the RNC payroll, is the one who hatched the scheme to rig the 2020 census.

He was communicating with Mark Neuman, an informal adviser to the Commerce Department.
3. Neuman was communicating w/Jason Gore, the DOJ official who crafted the official justification for rigging the census.

Gore testified in the case that HE DRAFTED the letter laying out the justification himself.

The DOJ claims this is COMPLETELY UNCONNECTED TO Neuman/Hofeller

1. Last week we learned that a political operative that specializes in racial gerrymandering concocted the Trump administration's scheme to rig the 2020 census.

Who was paying him?

I followed the money and found the answer: the RNC

popular.info/p/permanently-…
2. The Trump admin told the SUPREME COURT that the purpose of adding a citizenship question was to protect minority voting rights

The operative responsible for the scheme said the question could be used to empower "REPUBLICANS AND NON-HISPANIC WHITES"

popular.info/p/permanently-…
3. The Trump admin hid the involvement of the operative, Thomas Hofeller, from the courts.

The only reason we know about his involvement is that he died last summer and his daughter turned over his computer files to an attorney.

#Trump en meeting dans le Montana suggère son approbation au représentant Gianforte pour avoir violenté et cassé les lunettes de @JacobsBen journaliste du @guardian. En pleine polémique sur la tribune du @nytimes rappel: pour #Trump, c'est 1 guerre à mort contre le #journalisme.
2) Et dans le même meeting, #Trump a accusé le @nytimes de haute trahison pour avoir publié la tribune anonyme contre lui. Il n'a cessé de faire huer la #presse par 1 salle chauffée à blanc...
3) Cette "radicalisation" du discours de #Trump sur la #presse interroge sur l'avenir des relations entre citoyens US et #journalisme, à court terme (la campagne électorale à venir n'est-elle pas celle de tous les dangers pour des reporters à qui il accroche 1 cible dans le dos?)
