A new transparency feature on X has ignited a political firestorm after screenshots circulated online claiming the US Department of Homeland Security’s official account was listed as being based in Israel. The tool, which appeared over the weekend, lets users view an account’s current or previous location by tapping the join-date field. While designed to expose foreign-run troll farms, many of which masquerade as American political voices, it instead triggered a wave of speculation about high-profile accounts, including a series of MAGA-branded profiles that appeared to originate from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa.

    Well said. BOTH parties have been screwing us for years. Just because one may be more corrupt than the other, it doesn’t change the fact that both are corrupt.

    I’m a third-party voter from now on, regardless how how mad Lemmy is about it. I’m not playing the two-party game anymore.

    Tho for the record, I have never been so upset by a tweet or something online that it caused me not to be able to function. Lemmy needs to calm down and not get so worked up.

    I get your point tho!
