The B-21 raider is a technological Revolution. It will change the face of modern warfare.

It represents an evolutionary leap forward in survivability, deep strike, stealth technology, autonomy, battlefield coordination, and power projection unmatched in the history of Aviation.

Matt Taibbi notes, apparently the Trump White House had access to these tools as well and made their own requests. But the advantage went overwhelmingly towards the Democrats.

I'm not sure exactly who in the White House was making the requests because Trump was constantly being undermined by his own administration. But it was really dumb and probably undercuts his arguments regarding Twitter's actions.

@TheWashingtonPundit | Speak Truth To Power

China, Russia, Iran & North Korea be warned.

The next generation of American Air Power, the B-21 Raider was named to honor the men of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, who launched their daring raid against all odds when America seemed on the ropes in the pacific against the Japanese Imperial Navy.

Never doubt American exceptionalism, innovation & the American Spirit. 🇺🇸

The Doolittle Raiders Struck at the heart of Tokyo at a time when the imperial Japanese Navy seemed invincible and when the American people’s confidence had been badly shaken by the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Doolittle raiders showed America we could Win.

B-21 honors their legacy. 🇺🇸

The B-21 Raider was built to do what the Doolittle Raiders did: to fly into the heart of enemy territory in the most dangerous places in the world, & strike without warning, without challenge & with certainty. This plane was meant to fly to Beijing, to Moscow, to Tehran, and to do so with impunity, if necessary.

Just as the Doolittle Raiders sent the message to Hiro Hito that he personally was within America’s reach, without warning, so too the B-21 Raider holds the leaders of America’s foes at risk: at any moment, on any day, without warning.

Global reach. Global Strike. Global Deterrence.

It wasn’t just proud Americans watching tonight. China, Russia, Iran & North Korea were watching, too.

Message sent. Message received.

If you live in Georgia have you voted yet?

How many of your family members have voted?

How many of your neighbors have voted?

We have to get our voters out. You know the Democrats are

What is your plan to get those you know and love to the polls to vote?

NOW - U.S. Air Force reveals the B-21 Raider intercontinental strategic bomber, produced by Northrop Grumman.

READ: Elon Musk Delivers Shocking Proof Of Twitter’s Election Collusion With Top Dems

Positive economic news today.

Capitalists believe in the law of supply and demand. What this means, mainstream media, is that you have too much "supply" of propaganda and hit pieces, and not enough "supply" of factual, actionable information and relevant news stories for your dwindling reader base.

Nearly everything is governed on the basis of simple supply and demand. If your stuff is good and priced appropriately, people buy it like crazy. If it is terrible and overpriced... well, bye.

On October 14, 2020, the New York Post published BIDEN SECRET EMAILS, an expose based on the contents of Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop:

Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be “unsafe.” They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.

White House spokeswoman Kaleigh McEnany was locked out of her account for tweeting about the story, prompting a furious letter from Trump campaign staffer Mike Hahn, who seethed: “At least pretend to care for the next 20 days.”

This led public policy executive Caroline Strom to send out a polite WTF query. Several employees noted that there was tension between the comms/policy teams, who had little/less control over moderation, and the safety/trust teams

Thread 17-20

Strom’s note returned the answer that the laptop story had been removed for violation of the company’s “hacked materials” policy:

Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence - that I've seen - of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem...

The decision was made at the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey, with former head of legal, policy and trust Vijaya Gadde playing a key role.

“They just freelanced it,” is how one former employee characterized the decision. “Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it.”

.You can see the confusion in the following lengthy exchange, which ends up including Gadde and former Trust and safety chief Yoel Roth. Comms official Trenton Kennedy writes, “I'm struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe”

Former VP of Global Comms Brandon Borrman asks, “Can we truthfully claim that this is part of the policy?”

To which former Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker again seems to advise staying the non-course, because “caution is warranted”

A fundamental problem with tech companies and content moderation: many people in charge of speech know/care little about speech, and have to be told the basics by outsiders. To wit:

In one humorous exchange on day 1, Democratic congressman Ro Khanna reaches out to Gadde to gently suggest she hop on the phone to talk about the “backlash re speech.” Khanna was the only Democratic official I could find in the files who expressed concern.

Thread: 27-30

NetChoice lets Twitter know a “blood bath” awaits in upcoming Hill hearings, with members saying it's a "tipping point," complaining tech has “grown so big that they can’t even regulate themselves, so government may need to intervene.”

Szabo reports to Twitter that some Hill figures are characterizing the laptop story as “tech’s Access Hollywood moment”

Twitter files continued:
"THE FIRST AMENDMENT ISN’T ABSOLUTE”
Szabo’s letter contains chilling passages relaying Democratic lawmakers’ attitudes. They want “more” moderation, and as for the Bill of Rights, it's "not absolute"
