It’s like political ad targeting problem is just getting worse because nothing has been done. Turn off all location services unless you are using an app that actually requires them, like maps. Social media does not need your location, ever. It literally exists to just to sell you ads. Opt out in your app settings.
Fyi - see Dirt Box - gathering of cell phone data
The Los Angeles and Chicago police departments have acquired “dirt boxes” – military surveillance technology that can intercept data, calls and text messages from hundreds of cellphones simultaneously, as well as jam transmissions from a device, according to documents obtained by Reveal.
The purchase of the equipment in two of the largest U.S. cities raises questions about the migration of interception technology favored by the National Security Agency and the Pentagon to local police departments. The use of this surveillance technology by domestic law enforcement – which has not been reported previously – is another striking example of how military technology is flooding local agencies.
LOL…WTF

Rep Dingell warning to MI voters, do not be overly confident in the polling numbers indicating that Biden has the lead. Keep working on getting Biden elected. Gov. Whitmer agrees.
Dingell said Democrats should take nothing for granted in 2020.
The online event launching Michigan Women for Biden on Monday included U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Lansing, Attorney General Dana Nessel, U.S. Rep. Brenda Lawrence, D-Southfield, and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Holly.
The only female member of the Michigan congressional delegate who didn’t speak was U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Detroit, who heavily supported U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders in the presidential primary.
The Monday event also featured Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who mentioned Dingell and referenced hating seeing numbers showing "double-digit leads."
“We can do this,” Whitmer said. "And I believe we are going to be successful but we cannot for one second let our guard down. We cannot for one second make an assumption that Michigan is going to go with Joe Biden."
Whitmer added later: “We don’t want people to get complacent or for people to think showing up in Michigan doesn’t matter. I know Joe Biden gets it. I know he’ll be here."
The damage done to President Donald Trump’s standing in Michigan following recent protests outside the White House and in cities across the U.S. may have been even greater than originally believed, a new poll released to the Free Press said Tuesday.
Two weeks ago, EPIC-MRA of Lansing, a polling firm that does work for the Free Press, released a survey showing former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, leading Trump 53%-41% in Michigan, a 12-point edge.
But a second poll, started on May 31, a day after the first poll began, and concluded a day later than the first poll, on June 4, showed Biden leading Trump 55%-39% in Michigan, a 16-point margin. As it did for the first poll, EPIC-MRA surveyed 600 randomly selected likely voters for the second one, which had a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The second poll also showed:
- The percentage of Michiganders surveyed who believe the country is headed in the wrong direction increased from 63% in the first survey to 70% in the second. The percentage who believe the U.S. is headed in the right direction fell from 30% to 22%.
- The percentage of those with a negative view of Trump as president rose from 56% to 61%, as the percentage of those with a positive view fell from 42% to 38%.
- While the same number, 51%, said they would vote to replace Trump in November, the percentage saying they would vote to reelect him fell, from 38% to 33%. The percentage of those saying they would consider voting for someone other than the president rose from 8% to 13%.
Scathing ad about T’s health…really going for the jugular there.

Does Trump Want to Fight to Win 2020 Election? His Aides Are Worried. - The New York Times
In a recent meeting with his top political advisers, President Trump was impatient as they warned him that he was on a path to defeat in November if he continued his incendiary behavior in public and on Twitter.
Days earlier, Mr. Trump had sparked alarm by responding to protests over police brutality with a threat that “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.”
Mr. Trump pushed back against his aides. “I have to be myself,” he replied, according to three people familiar with the meeting. A few hours later, he posted on Twitter a letter from his former personal lawyer describing some of the protesters as “terrorists.”
In those moments, and in repeated ones since then, the president’s customary defiance has been suffused with a heightened sense of agitation as he confronts a series of external crises he has failed to contain, or has exacerbated, according to people close to him. They say his repeated acts of political self-sabotage — a widely denounced photo-op at a church for which peaceful protesters were forcibly removed, a threat to use the American military to quell protests — have significantly damaged his re-election prospects, and yet he appears mostly unable, or unwilling, to curtail them.
Don Winslow explains the Art of the Fake Victory Lap and how Trump tried to use it to get a Nobel Prize out of North Korea and Kim Jong un.
Some of the ads featuring the inverted red triangle, which began running on Wednesday, were still active on Trump’s page on Thursday morning. They had gained as many as 950,000 impressions from the president’s Facebook account alone. Identical ads on Pence’s account, which were also still active, had gained as many as 500,000 impressions.
Trump has made antifa — a label associated with anti-fascist protesters who infamously sparred with far-right figures after his election in 2016 — a centerpiece of his response to recent demonstrations in the aftermath of the killing of George Floyd in police custody in Minneapolis. The effort to rally his supporters using the specter of a marauding horde resembles the emphasis he placed on the threat of a migrant caravan heading to the U.S. border in the lead-up to the midterm election in 2018.
So far, however, the alleged menace has been mostly nonexistent — a focal point of online alarm not reflected in scenes of mostly peaceful protest nationwide. Despite warnings of antifa incursions in scores of cities, there is no evidence linking outbursts of violence to an organized left-wing effort.
Falling poll numbers…keep it coming folks.

Ok…Facebooks FINALLY makes a move against polarizing, and horrible Trump ads. @anon95374541
Glad that they recognized this had to be done. Just a start.
Facebook pulled down an ad from President Trump’s reelection campaign on Thursday that featured a Nazi concentration camp symbol, saying the inflammatory post violated the social media platform’s “policy against organized hate.”
The disturbing campaign ad, which was launched Wednesday, called on Facebook users to sign a petition hailing Trump’s decision to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization and charging without evidence that members of the left-wing movement are “running through our streets and causing absolute mayhem.”
Beneath the ad’s text is a picture of a red upside-down triangle.
Badges with the exact same symbol were sewn onto the sleeves of political prisoners in Adolf Hitler’s concentration camps during World War II. The Nazi party’s dreaded paramilitary arm Schutzstaffel, or SS, who ran the camps put the red triangles on anyone from communists and anarchists to trade unionists, Freemasons and people who tried to rescue Jews from slaughter.
A Facebook spokesman confirmed the ad was scrubbed from the platform because of the Nazi connection.
“We removed these posts and ads for violating our policy against organized hate,” the spokesman said. “Our policy prohibits using a banned hate group’s symbol to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.”

Given that this interview talks about people who go to dozens of Trump rallies, I wonder how many attendees at these things are just the same people over and over?

Cannot verify but I asked my teen and he said this is a thing the kids are doing as a prank, since most are under 18 and are not eligible to vote. 
Yeah, it’s a thing - zoomers @Windthin Who knew?!

Teens reserved hundreds of tickets for Donald Trump’s Tulsa rally on Saturday night with no intention of attending, social media users have claimed.
Political strategist Steve Schmidt tweeted on Saturday night: 'My 16 year old daughter and her friends in Park City Utah have hundreds of tickets. You have been rolled by America’s teens.
‘@realDonaldTrump you have been failed by your team. You have been deserted by your faithful. No one likes to root for the losing team.’
He then added: ‘This is what happened tonight. I’m dead serious when I say this. The teens of America have struck a savage blow against @realDonaldTrump. All across America teens ordered tickets to this event. The fools on the campaign bragged about a million tickets. lol.’
It prompted US Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to praise the Zoomers and K-pop allies involved in reserving tickets.
The Oklahoma rally was intended to be the largest indoor gathering in the world during the coronavirus pandemic that has killed more than 120,000 Americans, put 40 million more out of work and upended Trump’s reelection bid.
Trump’s campaign, for its part, declared that it had received over a million ticket requests.
But in the hours before the event, crowds seemed significantly lighter than expected at the 19,000 seat BOK Center. Campaign officials scrapped plans for Trump to first address an overflow space
Brad Parscale, campaign manager for Trump’s 2020 campaign’s tweeted that ‘radical protestors… interfered with @realDonaldTrump supporters at the rally. They even blocked access to the metal detectors, preventing them from entering.’
Ocasio-Cortez responded: ‘Actually you just got ROCKED by teens on TikTok who flooded the Trump campaign w/ fake ticket reservations & tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic enough to pack an arena during COVID Shout out to Zoomers. Y’all make me so proud.’
She added: ‘KPop allies, we see and appreciate your contributions in the fight for justice too.’
On Saturday, Trump tried to explain away the crowd size, blaming it on the media for declaring ‘don’t go, don’t come, don’t do anything’ while insisting there were protesters outside ‘doing bad things,’ though the small crowds of pre-rally demonstrators were largely peaceful.
‘We begin our campaign,’ Trump thundered. ‘The silent majority is stronger than ever before.’
