La #Russia ha aperto un'indagine nei confronti di un giornalista del canale televisivo statunitense #Cnn e di due reporter ucraini che hanno realizzato un reportage dalla regione di #Kursk dopo aver attraversato “illegalmente” il confine dall'#Ucraina. I servizi di sicurezza russi (#Fsb) hanno dichiarato di aver “aperto un'indagine penale” nei confronti di Nick Paton #Walsh e delle ucraine Diana #Boutsko e Olessia #Borovik per aver “attraversato illegalmente il confine”.

But in 2022, after the Cornell deal soured, new law school donations appeared on DonorsTrust’s filings.
These anonymous gifts went to schools without the hefty endowments of Cornell, Yale, Stanford, or NYU, or the conservative cachet of George Mason.
And like the earmark for Leo’s new center at Texas A&M, these new donations also had explicit instructions for how the cash must be used, instructions which seem to align closely with Leo’s priorities.
One such school on #DonorsTrust’s filing in 2022 was Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.
In November 2022, after Texas A&M soft-launched his
" Center on the Structural Constitution"
Leo took the stage at Catholic University’s law school alongside Patrick #Kelly, “Supreme Knight” of the Knights of Columbus, the all-male Catholic fraternal order.
The occasion: to celebrate a new endowed professorship and the launch of a new research center,
both focused on the intersection of the U.S. Constitution and the Catholic intellectual tradition.
It was a rare public recognition of Leo’s fundraising prowess at the intersection of faith and the law.
A devout Catholic, Leo is a member of the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, a Catholic knighthood, and recipient of the top honor from Opus Dei’s Catholic Information Center.
At Catholic University’s celebration, Leo said its law school was
“becoming very impactful in the field of legal education.”
At first, money for the new center
— the Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
— came in without any mention of Leo.
In April 2021, Catholic University announcedit had received $4.25 million from an “anonymous trust” for a three-year program,
with the possibility of expanding “into a larger constitutional law center” after that, based on a joint assessment by the “supporting donor” and the school.
A year later, in May 2022, the school announced the creation of a new professorship to lead the new project.
Leo, in partnership with the Knights of Columbus, had “directed a gift” to endow the “Knights of Columbus Professor of Law and the Catholic Tradition,”
which was awarded to Kevin #Walsh, a former Scalia clerk.
The total funding for Walsh’s professorship and the center came to $8.25 million, according to the announcement.
At the November 2022 event, the Knights of Columbus were credited with chipping in $1 million toward the professorship,
while an “anonymous donor” contributed $3 million that was “overseen” by Leo.
DonorsTrust’s year-end tax filings for 2022 show a $4.1 million contribution to Catholic University of America,
earmarked “for the Knights of Columbus Professor of Law.”
Catholic University and the Knights of Columbus did not respond to questions from The Intercept.
Since it launched, Catholic University’s new research center has hosted talks by two Supreme Court justices:
Samuel #Alito and Amy Coney #Barrett,
two of six practicing Catholics currently on the high court.
Alito serves as the project’s honorary chair, and it has also attracted powerful conservative appellate judges as “visiting jurists.”
“Catholic tradition is not an add-on, not something extra,” said Walsh at the November 2022 event.
“It is the matrix within which we are to take hold of all reality, including the realities of law and justice.”

"The #grifters that make up the #troll-industrial complex are not okay.
"One can see the sheen of #desperation in the #world of self-identified #conservatives who make a living by "triggering" the #liberals. The usual dose of outrage bait isn't working as well any longer, so the #rightwingers are escalating the provocations. Tucker #Carlson, for example, gave a glow-up interview with manosphere "influencer" Andrew #Tate, who is being held in #Romania on charges of sex #trafficking and #rape. #DailyWire anti-trans provocateur Matt #Walsh is selling plushies of himself clad only in a diaper, which he encourages #people to give to #children. Daily Wire founder Ben #Shapiro, on the other hand, made a nearly hour-long video #tantrum about "#Barbie," complete with setting the dolls on fire. The clawing need to get attention from #progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.

"The escalation of shock value tactics, on both the right and the pretending-not-to-be-right political classes, are likely rooted in the same cause: The slow motion collapse of #Twitter, now rebranded "#X," under the leadership of #Tesla CEO Elon #Musk. While these folks have various outlets, both in the #media and #socialmedia, ultimately their #business model of #trolling depends heavily on Twitter.
"Grifters need people to harass and a mainstream discourse to counter. As traffic takes a nosedive and Twitter becomes less a part of the conversation, it's going to be harder for these folks to make #money," Melissa #Ryan, a strategist who helps counter online #disinformation, told #Salon.
"They need us. We don't need them:" The fall of Twitter is making the trolls and grifters #desperate"
The clawing need to get attention from progressives seems to be driving these engagement farmers a little nuts, as they up the weird-and-evil ante, hoping to get those precious clicks and plays.
"What Musk has proven through his actions and his statements is that he's committed to serving the trolls and the #fraudsters first and the ordinary good faith users second," explained Brian Hughes of American #University, who is the co-founder of the Polarization and #Extremism #Research and Innovation Lab (#PERIL). But, he noted, Musk is "blinded by his own #ideology" and can't see how this is backfiring. "As normal people, for lack of a better term, continue to leave Twitter, that's actually going to cause probably a reduction in the use of the platform by these trolls and these fraudsters. They don't have their audience of targets that they need," he continued.

HAHAHAHAHAHA die mad about it, trolls. Full offense."
"Matt #Walsh enjoys #Nazis. Now, he is blaming Nazis for '#inventing' #transgender #people.
His #Nazi following won't appreciate that."
"Nazis killed #trans people... They were one of the targeted #groups... What in the entire fuck..."
