UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

SCOOP: sources tell me that the State Dept plans to eliminate its only office to counter foreign disinformation, as soon as today, delivering a win to foreign governments like Russia, Iran, and China—and the office's mostly conservative critics. www.technologyreview.com/2025/04/16/1...

Scoop: Trump appointed snr state dept official sought stafff's internal comms w/ journalists, European officials, + critics of Trump for a “Twitter files”-style dump to try + prove that the State Dept's Global Engagement Center censored conservatives. www.technologyreview.com/2025/05/01/1...

Wow. ICYMI - State Dept claims that groups like @codepink.bsky.social @peoplesforum.bsky.social are secretly pro-CCP - & that we missed it bc “partisan hacks" were too busy "peddling the phony Russia collusion hoax" nypost.com/2026/02/10/u...

Huh, haven’t even published anything spicy lately So funny to just exist and live rent free in racists’ heads 🤷🏻‍♀️ 💅 (Obviously blocked)
