There it is folks.
Remember that name: Chabad-Lubavitch
declassified FBI memo from the Epstein files, released on Friday, includes incendiary allegations about US President Donald Trump.
The memo says that Trump was “compromised by Israel”, that convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epsteinworked with Israeli intelligence, and that a Jewish religious group calling itself Chabad-Lubavitch sought to hijack his first term in office.
The memo, written in 2020, formed part of an FBI investigation into domestic or foreign influence over the US electoral process. It draws on information from a confidential human source (CHS) and appears among a vast trove of Epstein-related files released by the US Justice Department.
“CHS advised Chabad is doing everything they can to co-opt the Trump presidency,” the memo states regarding his first term.
Chabad-Lubavitch, a religious Jewish sect founded in Russia, has grown to an estimated 90,000 members. Its messianic, ultra-Orthodox ideology has repeatedly been linked to hardline settler colonial politics in Palestine.
It’s my first account here. Thanks for the warm welcome?
It’s a hot topic, forgive them. Welcome to the fediverse! You sure chose a conversation to jump in on…
New accounts usually have some kind of marker depending on the app. Boost shows them with a little chick 🐣 icon next to the username for ease of distinction, that’s how they pinpointed that for you.
I’m finding it difficult to curate my feed. Blocking subs is tedious. Having to go into the settings and manually type each out. Is there an easier way? Or like on bsky where I can block keywords? Which is pretty great. I just don’t really care for the x/twitter/bsky/mastodon style (basically like shuffled diary entries, just a lot of redundant content and exhausting reposts). I like the digg/Reddit style, like lemmy, with subs, comment sections and articles… I’ve actually been using digg somewhat. The latest redesign isn’t bad.
I much rather discuss science and tech and my other interests rather than politics.
Thanks for the warm welcome counterfactual.
So for me I usually do the following in three steps, and then choose accordingly if it’s a user/community/instance issue (caveat being that I use Boost like I mentioned):
Edit - I found the word blocking filter you mentioned too!
I found Voyager on f-droid. No ads. :)
It’s a good one!
So Boost, eh. I haven’t really looked into lemmy apps, just been using it in FF. Those options look much better than what the website offers.
Thanks counterfactual!
