@sanders.senate.gov : "The irony is that the proper criticism of communism is that the SovietUnion was an authoritarian society." "And then you've got the most authoritarian president in the history of this country." Video by @meidastouch.com #BlueWaveIn90Days #RemoveTheMotherF

Wouldn't it be easier & far less time consuming to just report when he actually tells the truth?

Hannah Arendt gave this a name "the objective enemy." Guilt attaches to what you are, not what you've done, which means denial becomes a symptom and a legal defence becomes further evidence.

The purest statement is Carl Schmitt, crown jurist of the Third Reich, basically whoever invokes humanity wants to cheat. Universalist language is always a weapon, never a sincere claim. Miller restates this almost clause for clause, swapping humanity for civil liberties.

He fell asleep in a meeting with Turkish President Erdogan, referred to Iran as the "Islamic Republic of Japan", TikTok as "Tic Tac", President Zelensky as "President Putin" & once again demanded the U.S. be given control of Greenland. He's much less dangerous while sleeping than when he's awake. 💤

There's a predictable approach to denial that we're already seeing, which I call the Four Pillars of Disordered Doubt, which allows actors to constantly question evidence that don't fit their preferred narratives.

Although the scale of this is still to be assessed, this is the inevitable outcome of the monetization of the algorithm. Rage-bait becomes a personal revenue model. Nothing about this should be a surprise.

We should also probably avoid basing our politics on information systems that reward outrage and where the truth has zero value.

We’ve seen this play out repeatedly across Europe. Each time, mainstream parties hoped to undercut the far right by echoing its language. Each time, the effect was to legitimise and empower the very forces they wanted to contain.

The problem with figures like RFK Jr. isn’t just that they spread bad information. It’s that they sustain disordered counterpublics, spaces where falsehoods are reinforced through imitation of legitimate democratic processes.

I’m not talking about censoring speech or deciding what people can say. My focus is on building the civic capacity for people to verify evidence, deliberate openly, and hold power accountable. That way, everyone has the tools to challenge disinformation, no gatekeepers needed.

All within 6 mos., Trump has destroyed: our Economy (Tariffs) w/highest prices ever, our allies in NATO, created a Gestapo of Insurrectionists he pardon to deport innocent immigrants (not gang members), caused protests in USA bigger than any POTUS, betrayed Ukraine & got us into a War w/Iran! SAD!

Almost surely none of this is real. This is multinationals using inflated transfer prices to make profits appear in low-tax Ireland. Trump's EU trade war is stupid on many levels, but the fact that it's based in part on an accounting fiction is the cherry on top

The gaping abyss between the reality of this, and how it is going to be covered and remembered (even by negative sources!!) really does make me wonder how much historiography was just straight-up fabricated because the reality was too stupid for anyone to accept.

Trump Truth Social post: "The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER. Enjoy the water, California!!!"California Department of Water Resources tweet: "The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful."Tweet from California state senator Mike McGuire: "🚨 BS Alert 🚨 

First off, shocker, water from the Pacific Northwest doesn’t flow to the Central Valley. 

Second, federal water pumps were down for repair and are now back on.

Third, rest assured, the military has not invaded the delta.

Facts are hard."
