500 US citizens detained by ICE. Can anyone say how all this detaining and deportation has impacted them in a positive way? Did you or anyone you know get a job they left that pays the bills? Is it easier to get a job now? Prices going down? Do you feel any safer?

Check your status. Do you know what you need to know about issues & candidates? If not, do some research. League of Women Voters often hold debates. What's important to you? If groups tell you how to vote, don't just follow the crowd. Make sure you know the whole story. Have a voting plan.

✔️ YES: Florida generally counts its votes much more quickly than California. ❌ NO: This is not indicative of voter fraud. 👀 As the #midterms near, look out for zombie rumors like this - false claims that return every election cycle. 🔗 RumorGuard post: go.newslit.org/VoteCounting

A viral post claims “failure or fraud” as reasons why California takes longer to count ballots than Florida does, but there is a simple explanation for the disparity. Let’s look at the facts.

⚠️ People who circulate misinformation often exploit trending topics, especially breaking news stories like a natural disaster. Such has been the case with the flash flooding in #Nepal. 👉🏾 Tips for sticking to the facts while scrolling: go.newslit.org/Nepal

A collage of three posts. The first reads, “As I’m watching the videos of the flooding in Nepal, I keep thinking, I can’t believe what I’m seeing is real. It looks almost unreal” and includes an image that supposedly shows a before-and-after comparison of an area damaged by the flood. The second post reads “In Nepal Elephants were saving people. What an amazing world we live in” and includes a video of an elephant rescuing a man from rushing waters. The third post reads “HAARP caused the landslide in China & Nepal today. Guess who is behind HAARP?” The News Literacy Project has added a label that says “FALSE CLAIMS.”

"What do we need to do to get flotillas, award-event speeches, constant media attention, increased contributions for aid, & be part of your political platform?" ask the Sudanese, Haitians, Rohingyas, Syrians, Yemenis, Ukrainians, Uyghurs, Central Africans from the Sahel, people from the DRC, etc.

Disingenuousness is contagious or maybe influencers see that it doesn't matter. PAL PAC P stands for peace? I hear code words, false narratives, & victim talk. Be honest about all the initiated violence since the 20s. Peace to most isn't the sound, after you've thrown all the Jews in the sea. AIPAC

150,000-400,000 deaths in Sudan conflict, 14 million displaced, 25 million hungry, but no flotillas, no academy awards speeches, no special help for them. Guess they don't have the influencers that convinced you to demonize Israelis defending themselves & AIPAC.

Hamas killed 22-year-old Odai Naser Saadi, one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protest movement in Gaza. He was kidnapped, tortured for hours, and then executed. His body was dumped at the doorstep of his family’s home, with a chilling message: “This is the price for those who criticize Hamas.”
