This screenshot is being shared but not easily available from the source site, The National Pulse, which is subscriber supported (i.e., paywalled).
The National Pulse is run by a former Breitbart-UK editor-in-chief Raheem Kassam, which explains the lack of disgust at Carmack in this screenshot. Breitbart is and has been pro-fascist.

1. Screenshot excerpt from The National Pulse's newsletter, article entitled: "Top DeSantis Advisor Lands Gig Lobbying for Zuckerberg’s Meta" by William Upton, published July 19, 2024. Text: The policy director and senior advisor on Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL)’s unsuccessful Republican presidential primary campaign has landed a new gig. Dustin Carmack, who has worked in policy positions with DeSantis, the Heritage Foundation, and former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, is now a director of public policy at Meta — the parent company of Facebook and Instagram. In his new role, likely courtesy of the revolving door between many Big Tech companies and establishment Republican staffers, Carmack will push Meta‘s policy agenda across the Southern and South Eastern United States — presumably including Florida, where his previous boss is still governor.

  Yet another reason why I have blocked Threads' domains and posts shared from Threads. I don't trust Meta/Threads at all; Zuckerberg and his corporations have given me one reason after another not to trust them since I left Facebook in 2010.
  That's at least 14 years of screwing over its users and democracies around the world.

  1. Screenshot, post by bdonnelly (@theblueone@mastodon.social) published July 29, 2024, 10:16 AM ET. Text: Today in Broligarchs Retweet: zayshad 2h Text: His name is Dustin Carmack. He wrote a chapter of Project2025. He is now Meta's public policy director. The summary below fails to mention that he will be in charge of Threads' public policy, too. Get familiar with this name, and remember it when you hear it again. Sub-retweet: tonyserrata 5h You're not wrong to. Not with this guy employed by Meta and likely driving many of the reasons we'll get silenced here. Dude literally wrote the intelligence section of prjct2025. photo: Dustin Carmack, white dude with beard and shaved head in front of corporate offices of Threads' parent, Meta (formerly Facebook).
