That wasn't a great area when I was young. The Florin mall was always a bit iffy. That Costco is 2.6 miles from where this happened in 1991 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Sacramento_hostage_crisis

So obviously (well you didn't link the tweet because of course not) the author of the tweet meant that, not meant any actual agreement with the libs. I can't see any other way to interpret this statement at all.
Your interpretation is not correct.

Similarly I suspect it's good for a kid to have something that they are better than adults at, for giving a sense of "being adult like".
They can play in competition at an adult level without being condescended in skill. And in theory learn how to gracefully win as well.

Elk Grove has certainly seen demographic change.

The foster system is horrible everywhere. Broadly, the system doesn't care much to improve it and the public outcry is... limited.

The Soviets were great at espionage but at the end of the day, they were outmatched. USA + Western Europe + Japan > USSR + Eastern Europe + poor China. And China switched sides to the US camp late in the Cold War, which is almost forgotten today. USA + Western Europe + Japan + poor China >>> USSR + Eastern Europe.
And the Soviet system didn't work either, they were consistently behind in basically all fields of technology with rare exceptions. Temporary lead in spaceflight (but not missile force), temporary lead in tanks with the T-64. Far behind in semiconductors, submarines, guided weapons. They had talent but weren't good at innovation. Regardless of ideology it's tough when you and your allies are the poor countries who got hit hardest in WW2 and you're facing the industrialized, rich countries.
China is the biggest manufacturer in the world, they have scale the Soviets never had. Over twice US electricity production, 3x US car production, 13x US steel production, 1.5x more industrial robots per worker. And their system works in that they can do high-tech.

Libs are right: there is enormous danger of misinformation and disinformation.
Wait Alex, are you even reading what you are writing here? It's right wing 101 that "yeah disinformation is bad, but acktually the media and journalists are spreading it, not witches on twitter ad 4chan." People all the way from boomercons to hardcore white supremacists and neo nazis would agree with that statement.
So obviously (well you didn't link the tweet because of course not) the author of the tweet meant that, not meant any actual agreement with the libs. I can't see any other way to interpret this statement at all.

It seems like journalists and government officials have been spreading disinformation since before the invention of the telegraph.
Journalists have been spreading disinformation since the invention of writing.

Jason Kessler, the organizer of the Charlottesville goon march.
Who is that? Do you have a link to the Tweet?
Why does it matter that he's "right" about something? You know the saying about a broken clock?
there's no downside at all to every random person with a two-digit IQ having a social media megaphone.
So you think the libs are right about this. Maybe you should explain your reasoning instead of seething that right-adjacent tech bros don't agree with banning all the conspiracy theorists off the internet.

We do have a lot of Brazilians working in the meat processing industry over here (something that surprised me when I learned it). One of the GPs in the practice I attend is Spanish/Brazilian (so I guess that means Portuguese-speaking, though he went to Spain before he came to Ireland - he'd be "White Hispanic" by US census categories) and he was telling me about when he first moved here and the landlord was the 'cash in hand, no rent books, no contract' type that can kick you out in the morning.

Eddie started classical piano at 6. And, for that matter, had a paper route as a kid.
Jimi worked as an usher in a local theater, as a stage hand at a local music club, and as a construction laborer before he joined the army.
Most of the homicides are boring and obvious but some of them are really funny because of how dumb the criminals are. 'The gun just happened to go off'. They did their drug deal under CCTV. Or the dumb, crass nicknames they have on 'encrypted' messaging for drug importation. Or how they brag about killing this guy in their chat group. Or how they realize only when prompted by a judge that while they're trying to cheat on tax they're only making it worse for themselves, so they completely reverse their story.
Dumb people lying badly is funny and makes the audience feel superior. I'm not a good storyteller and don't remember too much of what I've heard but there's great potential.
