🔥Shareholders sue #Facebook alleging that the company overpaid nearly $5 BILLION more to the FTC than its original $106 million penalty to settle the #CambridgeAnalytica data leak **so Mark Zuckerberg could avoid deposition and personal liability**.
#Facebook conditioned its $5 billion payment to the Federal Trade Commission to resolve the #CambridgeAnalytica data leak probe on the FTC dropping plans to *sue Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg individually*.
Americans’ personal data was weaponized to help flip the 2016 to Trump.🤬
“Zuckerberg, Sandberg & other #Facebook directors agreed to authorize a multi-BILLION settlement with the FTC as an express quid pro quo to protect Zuckerberg from being named in the FTC’s complaint, made subject to personal liability, or even required to sit for a deposition.”💥
It means if you or your loved one in #Idaho gets sick enough to need ICU care, someone else may have to be removed from a ventilator to make room for you.
#Idaho Dr. Bill Dittrich on rationing healthcare: “I don’t think anybody will ever be ready to have the kinds of conversations and make the kinds of decisions that we’re concerned we’re going to have to be making in the next several weeks.
🚨Far-right propagandist/#Russia🇷🇺Insider founder Charles Bausman took part in the #January6thInsurrection, then *fled the country to Moscow* leaving his 2020 Christmas lights and an American flag dangling from his porch.
Shortly after moving from #Russia, Bausman & his Russian wife moved to Lancaster, PA in 2018. He pushed hard-right causes, including anti-lockdown protests during the #COVID19 pandemic & #StoptheSteal lies & hyped the #January6thInsurrection on social media. Then he disappeared🧐
Since then, Bausman made 3 TV appearances in #Russia talking about the #insurrection *in fluent Russian*. He pushed the lie that the election was stolen & asked a host to avoid saying he actively participated in the insurrection b/c he didn’t want someone to “show up at his door”
🔥Federal judge sanctions Team Kraken—Sidney Powell, Lin Wood et al—for “abusive” litigation practices, ordering them to:

“This lawsuit represents a historic & profound abuse of the judicial process. It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated w/an allegedly fraudulent election. It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court…
“99% of the patients being admitted are unvaccinated. They’re sicker when they get here. They require more acute care while they’re here. And unfortunately, many of them are not surviving.”
#COVID19 patients’ decisions are prolonging the pandemic.
“It’s extremely frustrating, the ignorance of people not getting the vaccine because they don’t believe in it, or they don’t think it’ll help them. You have the chance to get them. They’re free. And people still refuse.”
The most common way patients leave the #COVID19 ward is DEATH. Others leave b/c they’re no longer infectious & can be transferred. A select few are “stepped down” b/c they improve. But staff expect few, or even none, to make full recoveries.😰
“I am angry that the tragic scenes of prior surges are being played out yet again but now w/ICUs primarily filled w/patients who’ve chosen not to be vaccinated…I am angry at those who refuse to wear ‘muzzles,’ as I have been so-called “muzzled” for much of the past 18 months.🤬
“I cannot help but recoil as if I’ve been slapped in the face when my ICU patient tells me they didn’t get vaccinated b/c they ‘just didn’t get around to it’…a decision to NOT protect themselves or their families Their inaction is a decision to let this pandemic continue to rage
