How tech oligarchs just domonstrated how they can be a danger to our democracy and national security:

 Tech oligarchs control communications and content of what goes on the internet. This past week, two strange happenings raised some red flags: One concerned Ukraine's defense and the other attacked No Kings Day organizers. Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, is what Ukraine uses to target and defend itself using missiles and drones because the satellite system can provide detailed geographic locations. Its use in defense against incoming attacks from Russia depends on this, and mysteriously it slowed down for some critical time, to permit Russian incoming to kill a lot of people and do some damage.  Saturday was NO Kings Day, and mysteriously the Instagram system used for Indivisible's communication with demonstrators crashed for four hours midday.  Instagram is part of Meta (formerly called Facebook) and is controlled and over 60% owned by tech oligarch Mark Zuckerberg.

Coincidentally, Donald Trump dropped any pretense of support for Ukraine this last week and is now in a full-throated alliance with Putin over Ukraine's survival. If the Trump cohorts fear anything, it is the size of the turnout of peaceful street protests against Trump's attempt to make himself a tyrant king and an autocrat. Never before have such slowdowns and targeted accounts and systems been attacked at a critical moment like that. That this is all a glitch or coincidence is a hard excuse of "oops" to swallow.

If the Dems get control of either House Nov. 3, this suspected attack on our national interests by Trump's oligarch tech allies needs to be at the top of the oversight agenda because it is both important to saving democracy and stopping Russia's aggression and destabilization of Europe.
