I’m driving through rural Texas, prime insane right wing billboard territory and I just saw a billboard that said “no healthcare for the peasants but a ballroom for the king”

pretty big sentiment shift for the area

What Pam Bondi and Lindsey Halligan did was not incompetence. It was intentional misconduct. They both must be disbarred.

GOP = chose to starve millions of US children and adults, including fighting court orders to provide funding for food.

Perhaps Dems, Libs, Progressives, Socialists, and Communists could stop bickering at each other for a minute and choose to align together to say that this is bad.

When you see someone trashing something important and helpful to the US, over and over being negative, I wonder how like it is they are a foreign actor like on twitter.

I know it’s not in fashion these days, but I’m not pro-Russia.

I believe it is harmful to the US and democracy to just do what Russia says and parrot Russian propaganda.

Twitter is for foreign propaganda bots and those who love them.

The wrong side.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Twitter now displays where accounts are from and it has confirmed that too many of the political accounts are out of country bots.

Why are folks still there? To argue with bots? A waste of precious time while enriching the richest man on Earth.

Delete your account.

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄

I hear Trump is ok with at least 1 person calling him a fascist.

Sounds like a trend starting.

So the US is $1 Trillion more in debt now because of the on/off tariff stupidity?

Instagram is now trying to radicalize people by showing Hitler speeches and holocaust denial lies?

I really can’t believe how sad and bad this all has become.

Education remains key.

Literacy is liberation. AI is oppression.

I read how a certain public person has 917K followers on twitter and 396K on Instagram.

The person also has 330K on Bluesky, which seems equivalent to other social media sites, but Bluesky is never/rarely mentioned in “mainstream” outlets.

I call BS.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.
