Man, I feel sorry for your parents and classmates if you were like Trump when you were 9.

I've seen what looks like legit proof of 5000 compromised Parler accounts including DM's of some well-known figures. Hackers decompiled the app, zero day exploit etc.. I wish I could unsee what I've seen.

The last of the seven top aides who accused Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton of criminal violations has resigned from the agency.
...
Two of the other whistleblowers were fired last week, two more were put on leave, and two others have already resigned — leaving the sprawling agency without seven of its top officials. A spokesman for Paxton denied that the firings were retaliation, citing unspecified violations of agency policy.

The right-wing social media app Parler was hacked in November 2020.

Across the country, in their cautious euphoria after the election, foes of Trump have been embracing the flag in similar ways: unfurling it in front of their homes, waving it in the streets, or simply looking at it differently. The day Biden gave his victory speech, Nancy La Vigne, executive director of the Council on Criminal Justice’s Task Force on Policing, took out the flag she always flies on holidays and hung it outside her home in liberal Bethesda, Maryland. La Vigne meant the act as “an expression of pride in how the system of democracy actually works.” But as the hours went by and she noticed more and more flags around her neighborhood, she realized she was seeing something broader: A spontaneous reclaiming of a symbol that, in the Trump years, had come to represent only one side.

Until trump lost the election, I worried that our flag might be co-opted by hate groups the way the police flag was.

In a video posted briefly on Instagram on Tuesday, Williams burns copies of conservative commentator Ann Coulter’s “How to Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)” and President Donald Trump’s “Crippled America” in an outdoor fire, spraying each with lighter fluid. “FDT,” a Trump protest song by YG and Nipsey Hussle, plays in the background.

I've never thought that there was any danger of the MAGA folk 'claiming' the U.S. flag. To be sure the right wing has for a long time been more nationalistic and more prone to wrap themselves in the flag as a general matter, but I don't think that they've ever come close to monopolizing the flag as a symbol..

You're supposed to do that, right? But few people do.

I keep thinking this is a joke, but then I thought Trump running for the presidency was a joke and look what happened there.
