The Trump regime has provided no evidence that the boats it has attacked — killing 34 people — have anything to do with drug trafficking. The news media should stop promoting that claim In its headlines. 1/2

This is how many conspiracy theories work, by exploiting real anger from legitimate grievances (often downstream from complex,
unjust systems) and redirecting it onto scapegoats through simplified “conspiracy” narratives.

Been thinking about how MAHA in its current articulation is a movement that allows them to harness people's real and justified anger at things like the betrayals of healthcare and insurance and turn it on scientists as scapegoats, by using conspiracy theories

He's banned from YouTube.
He returns to the White House.
He sues YouTube for banning him.
They settle for $22 million.
That money is used by Trump to destroy the East Wing

My experience in reporting on food insecurity is that other than households that are reliant on SNAP, there is no one more freaked out about SNAP cuts than food bank administrators.

☀️ Starshine @starshine.bsky.social · 9h

ppl are bringing up food banks and yea absolutely you should give generously to food banks and panhandlers but like you cant mutual aid state capacity. If every food bank in the us got their annual revenue already, saved 100% of it, and no overhead besides food they might be able to provide 2 months

40 odd million people use SNAP. 7 million WIC. food banks are already way down because of funding cuts. It’s going to be catastrophic

Via @jayshams.bsky.social, Michael Wolff is suing Melania for SLAPP and demanding subpoenas, including of Trump.

www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

10. By her Threat Letter and this responsive Declaratory Action and related Anti-SLAPPDeclaratory Action, Mrs. Trump has given Wolff subpoena power which he intends toexercise fully and expeditiously. Since the statements at issue pertain to matters that largelyoccurred here in the NewYork City this action will call for and permit subpoenas to numerouswitnesses, most of them in NewYork. Subpoenas will go to those who frequented or who werepart of Epstein's circle, including Mr. Trump.

How smearing works.

1. Cherry pick some asshole doing some asshole thing.
2. Use asshole to characterize millions of people.
3. Note *your side* condemns asshole.
4. Pretend *their side* doesn't condemn asshole.
5. On the basis of pretending, smear millions.
