Politics & activism — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 20 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 56% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

20 posts held, back to 20 February 2023 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 17 November 2024. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 3 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
How America's Accurate Election Polls Were Covered Up The Real Clear Politics National Average was removed by Wikipedia before the election and the New York Times denounced its failure to skew data.

Sitting members of Congress are threatening journalist @MattTaibbi with prison, but we are fighting back. We are going to dismantle the Censorship Industrial Complex and bury its parts deep underground. We can't do it alone. Please, join our movement and help us fight back. LFG!
“The current media sees the old system of serving public curiosity before the needs of law enforcement as dangerous.” https://www.racket.news/p/the-press-is-now-also-the-police?utm_source=direct&r=5mz1&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web @MattTaibbi
I dutifully got the vaccine and all boosters. The Virality Project shows a clear desire to deamplify or cover up true stories of side effects and is the first thing I’ve read that’s made me think twice about the shot. Trying to force trust, they had the opposite effect. @MattTaibbi
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @MattTaibbi. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 16 September 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
