The project represents something of a shift in mission…
The New York Times…#RT & #Sputnik relied on #EdMartin to explain #America in terms that…match the perspective of the #Kremlin, mostly to its international audiences, acc/to FilterLabsAI, a firm that analyzes #socialmedia, #state-run #news organizations & other internet postings to track public sentiment in #Russia. Those audiences were in the #US & in “hinge countries” in Central #Europe such as #Poland & #Hungary, & Martin had minimal exposure within Russia except for his criticism of US support for #Ukraine….
#EdMartin’s frequent appearances, reviewed by WaPo, drew rebukes from some #NationalSecurity analysts, who accused him of amplifying anti-American #propaganda on Russian outlets that the #State Dept last year said had moved beyond #disinformation to engage in covert #influence activities aimed at undermining democracies worldwide for President Vladimir #Putin’s regime.

#Trump’s DC #USAttorney pick appeared on #Russia state media over 150 times
Nominee #EdMartin did not disclose his #RT & #Sputnik appearances from 2016 to 2024 to the #Senate. The #State Dept has said the networks act like arms of #RussianIntelligence.

Here is another example of how the #state helps to keep #Google & #Apple #duopoly.
When you live outside EU, and want travel to EU, in some countries, you are being checked very much with some additional suspicion.
Up to the point that you have to be ready to possibility that border guard officer in airport of departure may not believe printed papers from bank with wet stamps and will ask you to show the banking app from your phone with accounts names and money sums on screen.
It’s time to compel officials at #DHS & #State to testify on #KilmarAbregoGarcía
The courts can halt #Trump admin word games on a man wrongly sent to a Salvadoran prison.

The cable encourages #State Dept employees to report on one another through a tip form that can be anonymous. “Reports should be as detailed as possible, including names, dates, locations…,” the cable reads.
Some ofcls reacted to the cable w/shock & alarm, saying that even if well-intentioned, it is based on the flawed premise that the dept harbors anti-Christian bias to begin with, & warning it could create a culture of fear as the #Trump admin pushes employees to report on one another.
#State …will work with an admin-wide task force to collect info “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” & will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.
The cable was sent out to embassies around the world under Secy of State #MarcoRubio’s name. The instructions also were released in a department-wide notice.

The #Trump admin has ordered #State Dept employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of #Christian faith working in the federal govt.

After receiving the recommendation from DHS, the #State Dept found that while Ozturk had protested Tufts’ relationship with Israel, neither #DHS nor #ICE nor Homeland Security investigations produced any evidence showing that Ozturk has engaged in antisemitic activity or made public statements indicating support for a terrorist organization, according to U.S. government employees briefed on the State Department’s memo.
#Trump #TrumpLies #immigration #law #StateSponsoredAbduction #DueProcess
#DHS originally recommended the revocation of #RumeysaOzturk’s #visa under an authority in the #Immigration & Nationality Act that allows for the deportation of a foreigner if the secy of state has reasonable grounds to believe the person’s presence or activities has “adverse policy consequence for the United States,” acc/to a copy of a separate memo reviewed by WaPo & sent by DHS to the #State Dept before her detention last month.
The memo, written by an office within the #State Dept, raises doubts about the public accusations made by the #Trump administration as it has sought to justify #RumeysaOzturk’s #deportation. The #DHS has said Ozturk engaged in activities “in support of Hamas,” a #US - designated terrorist organization, but neither that agency nor US prosecutors have provided evidence for that claim.

Days BEFORE masked #ICE agents detained #Tufts University student #RumeysaOzturk to deport her, the #State Dept determined that the #Trump admin had not produced any evidence showing that she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization, as the govt has alleged.

No evidence linking #Tufts student to antisemitism or terrorism, #State Dept. office found
An internal memo, prepared days before #RumeysaOzturk was detained by #ICE agents, raises doubts about the #Trump administration’s claims that she supports Hamas.

Sources told Reuters that #Marocco, who was the director of foreign assistance at the State Department, may have been pushed out but they declined to give further explanation.

@freeschool@qoto.org#ACAB #POLICE some good people inside the bad?
#ACAB #POLICE I want to believe there are some good people - while I think all enforcement signups know what they are getting into also or that there is more of bad mix perhaps...
BUT perhaps even they themselves are not told / find out the #percentage of each type of #enforcement they will be doing / never actually know until time passed where they fall into and for example how will it will change. Probably people have to go where told and can't just stay in 1 or 2 things unless they fight to stay in places / be less universal #soldier. It's like that for a lot of jobs where they want squeeze most from people in as many ways as possible.
So while people sign up for bad things (like any "company" might have) and #cops could use their physicality on people or even like shoot things, it's still a question of the hierarchy using them better.
I accept people are born with more tendencies and talents but don't like it's for #war and prefer #AmericanFootball or #MMA or #shoot range as a disciplined #sport / #sports and sportsman-like ways which police could be as, nice guys even when tackling people to the ground instead of antagonist / those that offer opposition and threat to #public people.
So over-focusing on
traffic and issuing tickets (#quotas),
harassing the poor people (on #estates / #coucilestates)
using force to scare even the #honest people...
#economic or otherwise...
...just isn't cool...
But what to do when it's one of the only consistent jobs going (or was). It's "Fight for us or Starve" like the army used to be and #State /.$tate might say (or it's all the same).
And all of the above while not fixing the #cause but spending money on the #symptoms instead accumulating #force as most of the " #answer " and perpetuating also hence ACAB :(
People are $tuck in #jobs too I'm sure - fighting a #competitive #planet #economy either way as #soft or #hard fighting -
Some groups just make more of a #killing than others ("making a killing" as in the " #legal " sense of getting #money #phrase for #smoe kind of #slavery / working increasingly for #banks / #bank)
