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 10 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 98% 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 the other topics.
Growth
61 measurements spanning 90 days, net -1,290. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 19,152–22,101 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

29,632 reactions across 186 posts, in 14 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 23.7% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 186 of the 187 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 29,632 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 187 most recent posts we hold, published 4 August 2026 to 5 November 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Recent posts
Telegram’s own ‘edited’ marker: 0 of 35 posts held from the last 30 days (0%) carried it when this register last read them. The marker says a post was changed after publishing, not what it said before — this register holds the earlier wording only where an edit fell between two of its own reads (see the edit ledger and how it is measured).
The minority leader race: a fight over a job with no agenda and one mission — defending Trump
Speaker Mike Johnson has told his staff he will not seek the minority leader post after Republicans lost the House in midterms, a decision that spares him a likely ugly fight but also closes the book on a speakership defined more by survival than achievement. His tenure was rocky from the start: he was thrust into the job i…
An election day surprise: Trump moves against Israel aid as the political ground shifts
President Donald Trump announced on Election Day that the United States will stop paying Israel nearly $4 billion a year in military aid. The declaration was startling coming from a president widely seen as the most pro-Israel in modern times, and — typically for Trump — it was vague enough that its real-world impact may be far s…
Why Iran and its allies are outlasting the American military
When the United States went to war with Iran, the Pentagon's assumption was simple: overwhelming firepower would carry the day. According to Jiang Xueqin — the Chinese-Canadian educator and host of Predictive History — that assumption has collided with a force American military doctrine was never built to handle: people who are not afraid to die.
The prob…
Midterms deliver early 2028 scorecard for Democrats
The midterms effectively kicked off the 2028 presidential race, and six Democrats came out of election night with more political capital than they went in with. For some, the results strengthened their standing and bolstered their case for becoming the party's next standard-bearer.
Jon Ossoff faced a consequential test in Georgia, a state Trump carried two years a…
Paralyzed: how infighting is crippling US intelligence
The American intelligence system is broken: under the Trump administration, the sharing of information on Iran and other global threats among intelligence agencies, Congress, and federal departments has slowed significantly — and in some cases stopped altogether. According to a journalistic investigation, the disruptions have hit even the reports meant for the c…
Blue tsunami: Democrats flip House and Senate in stunning anti-Trump ave
Democrats didn't just win — they steamrolled. In a midterm wave that even party leaders didn't dare dream of, Democrats seized both the House and Senate by wider margins than anyone predicted, turning the election into a decisive referendum on President Donald Trump.
The party flipped Senate seats across the country. House Democrats claimed di…
No branch spared: trust in U.S. institutions sinks to historic lows
A new Gallup survey has delivered a sobering verdict on the state of American faith in its institutions: trust in the country's leadership has sunk to an all-time low, and the erosion shows no sign of slowing.
The numbers paint a grim picture across all three branches of government. Only 33% of Americans say they trust the executive branch, while t…
The new economic era: why voters are turning against the “party of business”
The economy usually decides American elections — and Trump may have accidentally kicked off a "new economic era" by stripping Republicans of their best issue.
For decades, voters trusted Republicans more on the economy, assuming the party of business must be better for growth. That's breaking down in 2026: polls now show Democrats ahead on…
Trump's impeachment scenario: theoretically real, practically miraculous
Could midterms actually make Trump's impeachment — and removal — a realistic prospect? Laurence Tribe, who taught constitutional law at Harvard for half a century and wrote one of the most widely used textbooks on the subject, laid out exactly that scenario over the weekend. His math is striking, and his own caveat is just as striking: it would…
Trump's pressure on Kyiv speeds the West's reckoning with compromise
“Direct talks between Russia, the US and Ukraine will finally commence in Abu Dhabi early November, marking the beginning of the end of this bloody war. Both the Kremlin and Kyiv have retreated to something close to their most maximalist negotiating postures. Vladimir Putin, who clearly believes that the momentum of the war is on his side, will con…
The sequencing trap: why Washington and Tehran can't agree on who moves first
The United States and Iran remain far from a peace agreement, the gap between the two sides is as wide as ever. At the heart of the deadlock is not a lack of communication but a sequencing trap: each side's precondition for talks is the other side's endgame. Washington and Tehran are not haggling over terms so much as waiting for the other…
The GOP's worst nightmare: Trump is losing control of his base
The big story in American politics right now, just before the November 3, 2026 midterms, is the unexpectedly deep trouble Republicans are facing — even in states that until recently were rock-solid safe seats for them. The latest polls show Democrats pulling ahead in several key Senate races at once, including Texas, Ohio, Iowa, and Kansas. Texas is espe…

Showing the 12 most recent of 187 posts we hold for @Old_Glory_Vortex. 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.
Posts edited after publishing
@Old_Glory_Vortex edited 1 post after it first published — the same permalink now carries different wording than the one this register originally read, caught because our own crawl held a copy of the earlier text.
An edit is not deception. Typo fixes, price updates and corrections look exactly like this too — this register can tell you the wording changed and when, not why. How this is measured.

Forward network
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Mentions
Named by 8 registered channels — 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.
Channels Telegram recommends alongside this one
Telegram’s own answer, not this register’s. When this register asks Telegram’s API what is similar to this channel, this is the list it returns, in the exact order Telegram returns it — never re-sorted by subscribers or by anything else this register measures. The relationship, and the order, are Telegram’s; we record them and date them, and make no claim of our own about which of these channels actually resemble this one.
Read from Telegram’s recommendation API, most recently 28 September 2026. Telegram holds a list like this for a small and growing share of the register — how this is measured, and why most channel pages show nothing here.
Appears in Telegram’s recommendations for other channels
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
