- The backlash of posting this racist video and the additional disclosure of the Epstein files will probably lead to unhinged grand posturing at the Munich Security Conference by the US in an attempt to try to deflect from all of the domestic fallout…

- Reposted by Katja MuñozA Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
- What is mobilization potential in terms of influencers exactly? An very impactful example is Nick Shirley and everything that ensued after with ICE. Sure the US Gov was looking for an opening… and Shirley with his platform delivered….
- Nick Shirley and others like him are reminiscent of yellow journalism of the 19th century, updated and turbocharged by social media algorithms. Read more: www.theverge.com/news/869824/...

- Reposted by Katja MuñozEstimates for number killed in the Tiananmen Square massacre are greatly debated more than 30 years later. Experts say likely between 1,000-3,500. If CBS News warnings are true for Iran's 12,000-20,000 — we are looking at something 5x to 15x greater. A historic horror.
- Collateral damage of spheres of influence power politics By pushing for regional dominance & power politics 🇺🇸 flattens its moral credibility It also confines itself to become a limited regional actor by shifting its focus to western hemisphere & miscalculated the role of non-aligned middle powers

- Reposted by Katja MuñozX basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences

- Reposted by Katja MuñozThe US has loads of military installations in Europe. It likes to pretend this is for Europe’s protection, but this is only partly true. Ramstein, as mentioned here by the Greens’FP expert is a good example. If the US decides to attack Greenland, throwing out US mil installations should be discussed
