BAD ACTORS SEED BAD INFORMATION.

Through the use of "whisper campaigns", gossip chains and unverified claims, a Disinformation Campaign (DC) is a coordinated effort by political actors to distort the flow of accurate information (& make false info) in order to misrepresent a person or topic.

This can range from a storm of bots & alt accounts, the targeting of trusted figures to carry bad info, spam attacks (brigading) and plain ol' misinformation. Similar to a SLAPP suit (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation), these tools are used to obfuscate or misdirect away from an issue of concern by overwhelming bystanders or the target of their attack.

Even true information is destroyed through lies of omission. Think of the game "telephone" but with systems & media.

While these are just some strategies, when combined, the goal is to attack true information from all sides. The final goal isn't necessarily to propagate a new narrative (sometimes it is)...rather its to confuse the public about what is true too thoroughly to investigate it properly.

This becomes especially relevant as we look at voter disenfranchisement campaigns, scandal cover ups, character assassinations and radicalization pipelines.KNOW HOW TO SPOT IT. KNOW HOW TO STOP IT.

Movies always show moments of truth being told in churches. Let me tell you about the Catholic sacrament of Confession (with a capital C that rhymes with P and that stands for Penance!) And why Confession is at best a load of manure and at worst a system of enabling abuse.

Absolutely incensed at censoring the word "sober" because reasons? "Flask" too, though at least that's indicative of alcohol abuse, yet we don't want to talk about being sober? I swear this used to be a better track. Shame on them... youtu.be/FcvXr-9XtgA

@oldsquida.bsky.social frequently teaches me how you can be a crotchety, tired-out personality that acts like kindling to motivate others to act. People like her make me optimistic that a generation's wisdom won't always be lost to history - that it can carry on in legacy and ferocity.

if we don’t take action (no i don’t mean vote or walk around protesting) what existence can we have in 10 yrs. we must respond. we must make a direct impact in our world. build autonomous community, reshape our society from the ground up. we can’t save the world, but we can prolong out existence.

Bluesky's search functionality is not up to the task for user-centered moderation. Bluesky doesn't support shared blocklists. Blocked accounts become invisible on mute lists. You can't easily visit the profile of a user who has you blocked in order to block them back.

Once Bluesky allows open signups, we'll see a massive horde of nazis and antiblack reply trolls descending on this app. I see very little in terms of readiness and attitudes of the Bluesky staff, the technology, or the tooling made available to users or instance admins for this scale of onslaught.

The Nazi's who held a banner drop two weeks ago are threatening online to continue escalations in Manteca, CA. If you are in or around this area, you can join the work to combat this!
The top of the page reads in black text, "NAZIS SPOTTED IN MANTECA."

Below is an image of a banner drop over a Manteca freeway with a censored Nazi banner that reads, "Every single aspect of" and is blocked by a censor bar reading "censored" before it can continue. Three Nazis sig-hail in the picture from behind a flag of a swastika. The swastika is somewhat covered over with three arrows.

Next to the image reads, "What will you do when Nazis roll through? What CAN you do? BASH BACK!"

Below reads, "Here is a list of tools to get started. What is antifa? What is fascism? 40 ways to fight fascism! Affinity organizing & more!"

The bottom left reads, "West Coast United Against Fascism. Follow our linktree for videos, zines, journals and updates on fascist activity." The bottom right reads, "Your local antifa is: Rowdy Queers Near You! Lavenderangels@riseup.net"

A QR code sits on the page with the antifascist flag printed in the center of it.

"BE QUEER. HUNT NAZIS." Sent from Manteca, CA this afternoon.
An image shows several pride flags attached to the fence of an overpass. A black banner with white text and three arrows reads "BE QUEER. HUNT NAZIS." A group of seven or so people raise their fists. Spotted in Manteca, CA.

Reached three homeless people at my worksite today. First one was seriously nodding out in the parking lot, so I made sure he was alive and dropped a goodie bag of food and water. Later on I got to see him down the road sharing with a woman. Hope they enjoyed their brunch.

This is why you will see us take a head on fight against ABC10 for robbing a vulnerable moment of mourning in our community, and why we will fight so hard to protect such a space. You deserve to have protected spaces to mourn. But we can't be everywhere. You must build them, too. For all of us.

Every corporate workplace has resources for distro. Coffee? Plastic cutlery? A bottle of water a day makes a case per month for donations. Homeless and families with kids need pens/pencils/notebooks too. Toilet paper? Oh yeah baby. REMEMBER: If it is given to you, it can be given to others!

If you fight for Trans & Queer people against the eminent fascist mobilizations, you will be commonly labeled as "Antifascist." This is accurate and true. You should wear this. Equally, this should move you into accepting the tools antifascists use to defend our communities. We are you.
