More evidence that the #Libs’ strategy is not about policies but about pictures, sountbites & vibes. We should be used to this by now.

They do this because it works. Same as circus Donald: it’s not about economics or governance, it’s about #distraction as cover for accelerating #plunder in times of crisis. #AusPol

'Limited smartphone accessibility led to reduced smartphone use, but instead of becoming less distracted, participants shifted their attention to their laptops. '

“The #Signal #leak was never about an #app. It was a diagnostic stain, exposing the rot festering beneath the Mythic US’s #veneer of #democracy and #law. The fleeting obsession with #encryption #protocols and personnel errors encapsulated the farce: a society expertly trained by its #distraction #machine to fixate on trivialities while the Operational US – the militarist-oligarchic core – wages #illegal #wars with #psychopathic #impunity”

The reason why I don't like open-plan offices and love working from home. The DnD mode is much more effective.

Absurd blame game: If - hypothetically- someone would have been able to sneak into a newly created chat group of high level officials that no one could have known existed -, this would be an even more severe breach. #distraction

“Trump’s habit of deflection might explain last night's statement, and his habit of distraction might explain today’s social media post, in which the president returned to an exchange of words between him and Maine governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, more than three weeks ago…”

#TrumpDeportations rely on tattoos, it’s bullshit

Right, it's to make money and a #distraction that almost half of #Project2025 has been pulled off

"I’m the #Canadian who was detained by #ICE for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

I was stuck in a freezing cell without explanation despite eventually having lawyers and media attention.

Yet, compared with others, I was lucky"

Maybe this #wallstreet badnews has made #Trump make this #distraction #nyt leak (see article) because every country has war plans for every country. As Trump would say, that's unfortunately or fortunately true.

Former Ranger Says Be Afraid For ALL Public Lands

https://www.nationalparkstraveler.org/2025/03/op-ed-former-ranger-says-be-afraid-all-public-lands

they expect to force upon us their awful agenda of selling off what is ours…

The oligarchs are distracting the people that need to be solely focussed on the fascism that is passing opressive laws.

#Fascism #Distraction

Some of the things that will be used to justify this #War of #Distraction will be #Canada 's retaliation to #US #tariffs. There have already been social media posts about how our economically defensive tactics are "illegal".

Combined with the sociopathic dismissal of #Canada as "not a real country" and how we are "subsidized" or "tariff abusers" -- the #POTUS is 'othering' and essentially de-humanizing #Canadians.

The real motive is to expand territory and gain access to energy and minerals.

"The Gaza ceasefire is a distraction from "Israel’s" deeper strategy: dismantling Palestinian statehood, imposing foreign control, and ensuring permanent occupation under US guidance"
Slow genocide +"...destroying the Palestinian Authority (PA) would mean that Palestine has no seat at the UN"
Also "destroying UNRWA...which means the agency that registers Palestinian refugee status is being killed"

#ScottGalloway is stressing, LOOK at #Corruption and #TaxCuts. 900 billion tax cut and big #Medicaid cut are what Dems must talk about, not the 60bill DOGE cutting
