🧵I think it’s important to understand what disinformation like Sen. Mike Lee’s tweets are trying to do, psychologically/cognitively. In my disinfo class/Substack, I talk about how disinfo often uses “moral disengagement strategies” to manipulate people into accepting harmful conduct 1/

IDEA: Stop covering politics like its a fucking sporting event. The GOP spending cuts don't provide an "opening" for Democrats to attack. They are either going to harm people or not. Journalism is supposed to be about informing people.

Judges won't save us. Law enforcement won't save us. Democrats won't save us. We're in it now, folks. One thing we have going for us is that we're the majority. It'll be up to the people to organize and unite and speak up.

We're doing these racists a big favor when we pretend their project is in any way based on actual grievance with modern DEI policy. They just want to promote the belief that no non-white person has ever been worthy of any praise or qualified for any honor or position

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

It seems to me the family’s objections to the GBI’s theory of this case are quite compelling, given what’s publicly known. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Step Down Schumer
WE ARE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY 
Not a protest-it's reform 
BOLD WINNING LEADERSHIP 
No more weak, defensive politics 
BOTTOM-UP REFORM 
Power starts locally-senate, statehouses, city councils
YEAR-ROUND ORGANIZING
Permanent voter engagement, not just election cycles 
TAKE BACK THE NARRATIVE 
A people-driven agenda, not D.C. consultants 
STRONGER MESSAGING
No more cautious, poll-tested politics - real conversations, real actions
A PARTY THAT FIGHTS
Take on obstruction, corruption, and media bias- without hesitation

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced the Trump administration’s defiance of an explicit court order, deporting Venezuelans to a concentration camp in a third country, El Salvador—which also happens to violate a lot of really good international laws.

On full display: the performative aspects of fascism - the deep sense of personal insult that others do not accept your demands to control their lives. No matter how aggressive or powerful the fascist, their lifeblood is an unjustified sense of grievance.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

The thing is it’s impossible to square the need to pardon your family out of fear of a lawless president with the need to attend his inauguration to preserve democratic norms. If you have to do the former there no longer are democratic norms.

The way I look at it, one of the missions of journalism is to make lying an ineffective political strategy. But inoculating a community against lies can take many forms, including both providing reliable info and helping people to see other viewpoints and understand the motives of their peers.

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.
