I have ignored the rabid evangelical right. That seems to have been an error. The founders must be spinning.

From @BillKristol :
“watch the video, which I found chilling. In this appeal to “The American Christian Church” … one catches more than a whiff of fascism.”
The GOP as represented by the likes of @CawthornforNC is truly the American Taliban.
Madison Cawthorn preaches #TheBigLie

I agree with @CREWcrew : strip #thebiglie proponents from committee assignments. FTS.

Also should mean no YouTube or Twitter or Facebook.
I confess to not knowing this NC Republican US Representative before tonite. 🤦🏼‍♀️
🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

In today’s issue of #whoOwnsWhat … the role of @ATT and its TV services (DirecTV) in formation and financing of One America Network @OANN

Special @Reuters report

reuters.com/investigates/s…
“They told us they wanted a conservative network,” @OANN founder and chief executive Robert Herring Sr said during a 2019 deposition seen by Reuters.

OAN revenue: 90% is from AT&T TV platforms like @DIRECTV Image
Business writers!
Stop spewing 💩 like this:
@ATT “spun off [@DIRECTV], retaining a 70% share in the new, independently managed company.”

When you control 70%, any “spin off” is NOT Independent.

Powerful history. Should be required viewing for all of us, not just voters in #NC09.

NC state legislator @CharlesGrahamNC is running to be the first American Indian serving as a NC US Representative.

District #NC09 is 7.7% Native American. Nationally, 2.9% of us are Native American or Alaska Native (alone or combo with another ethnicity). The district was redrawn because of GOP gerrymandering. The GOP has held the district for almost 60 years.

The first #jan6th insurrectionists “to break through the police line” passed up **15 reinforced** windows. Video shows they went straight to a “recessed area on the Senate side of the building [with] two unreinforced windows and two doors with unreinforced glass.”
“They were not the first windows, nor the easiest to reach for [#Jan6th insurrectionists] ... Attackers ran more than 100 feet across a courtyard to reach the covered outdoor entryway” #insidejob
Who knew which windows were reinforced? The three-member Capitol Police Board: the architect of the Capitol, the House sergeant at arms, and the Senate sergeant at arms. @latimes

For posterity:
“Cloudflare senior vice president Dane Knecht notes that #Facebook’s border gateway protocol routes — BGP helps networks pick the best path to deliver internet traffic — have been ‘withdrawn from the internet’.” #Instagram #WhatsApp

.@TheVerge notes that the DNS failure occurred as “Antigone Davis was live on CNBC defending [#facebook] over a whistleblower’s accusations and its handling of research data suggesting #Instagram is harmful to teens.”
