Pro tip: call the Project 2025 1-800 number and complain about it to them. The people answering the phones don’t seem to know what the plan even is.

#2 could generate a fuckuva lot of clicks if they’d run with it, but that’s work. Facts aren’t biased, but journalists are, and one of the biggest forms of bias is insisting that every comment about one side have a comment for the other. Which isn’t real. It’s not accurate.

And seriously, this SHOULD be a boring election. (Most elections should be boring, and short) We have solid, comparable resumes & experience records. The two (so far) new facts are 1) one candidate is now a convicted felon & rapist & 2) that candidate had a close association with a pedophile ring.

This same operation has been responsible for 8 outbreaks from 2006 to 2016. They just change names & re-open the doors. All in, they've probably sent 25-30 people to the hospital with life-threatening conditions, made ~200 people+ sick, and I really want this to land: ARE STILL IN OPERATION.

The totally predictable cost of not punishing the prior coup attempt swiftly and harshly is that we are going to have a more organized and better prepared coup attempt bsky.app/profile/paul...

right wing propaganda's greatest success is seeding the lie that our overwhelmingly center-right corporatist press is somehow "too liberal" in reality, anything vaguely resembling progressivism is defunded and marginalized (ask me how I know)

Turns out $42B might have been a fair price, maybe even a bargain, for controlling what social media most of the nation’s most influential reporters see

The guy who controls the main source of information for most of the nations reporters has a huge financial stake in Donald Trump winning the election. Makes you think about why the algorithm chooses to promote anti-Biden stuff!

So I want to talk about this from the perspective of someone who does professional fact checking as part of my work. For some years now I have been paid to check TV and written content themed around animals to make sure it is factually accurate. Chat GPT & AI has made that job so much harder.

Every snippet of this I see, I keep finding new things wrong with it. The "atomization of the individual" (lack of community ties) is because we've destroyed communal gathering spaces for the sake of capital and rampant criminalization/fearmongering.

Trump is desperate that voters not hear about Trump's Project 2025 because once they understand P25 is a Republican plan and a Trump plan they suddenly hate Trump and Republicans

Oh look, the "defund the police is a luxury belief" guy platformed by the @nytimes.com Opinion section today is a transphobe eugenicist who quotes Jordan Peterson on IQ and retweets literal phrenologist Claire Lehmann.

NYT is a far right rag, part nine million
