Attn Pennsylvania voters: A massive wave of texts is being sent from random numbers telling Democrats and Independents to vote “No” on the Supreme Court retention questions. These messages are fake and misleading, part of a coordinated disinformation push.

A truth to be ranked alongside “propaganda doesn’t work” as a principal cause for the failure of liberals and progressives to counter fascism… because the manner by which people are converted to it exposes a huge fail in the liberal worldview and therefore cannot be countenanced.

This builds on earlier @peterjukes.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social stories Whilst Manuel “I know nothing” Farage would have us believe he was stunned to hear of Gill’s Russian asset work it really is not remotely believable. See my 🧵 below outlining for how long Farage’s been a 🇷🇺 helper rôle

Lubov Chernukhin, wife of the Russian president’s one-time finance minister Vladimir, certainly takes an interest in her adoptive British homeland. In a decade up to the last election she gave more than £2m to the Tory party. 🧵1/2

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

@maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social Pls. keep eye on this story. My husband's job in essence is to help keep our nuclear reactors from being penetrated. He'll likely be furloughed at the end of next week. We will have zero income. Not sure about health benefits. TY

I’m so happy to see this. @johnsweeneyroar.bsky.social is one of our own. Like @thenerve.news he’s an old Observer hand. Later at BBC he did everything, but in 2018, he found himself blocked from one particular subject…Russia & Brexit. Please give him a hand…Sweeney’s coming home 👏👏👏

PLEASE EMAIL ME [email protected], if you are attending a NO KINGS protest (any country/city), so I can send you a Dropbox link to upload footage for REAL TIME coverage on SAT 10/18. Indicate if you want to be credited or not. If you already emailed me - THANK YOU, I will send the link by FRI.

Friends, readers, countrymen: it's once again time for the semi-regular request for donations post. deadSimpleTech's writing is entirely reader-supported, and this isn't just a triviality: writing one of my articles can easily take between fifteen and twenty hours of work.

A second round of NO KINGS protests against the Trump administration is planned across the US this Saturday If you plan to attend & capture footage, pls email [email protected] I'll send you direct Dropbox link to upload your content, and I’ll ensure to credit you when covering it in real time

Double kudos to @jonhenley.bsky.social and the @theguardian.com for: a) taking the trouble to report on a set of continental European elections where the far-right didn't sweep all before it! b) calling the far-right the far-right, not 🤮 'the hard-right'!

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

The man who bribed Gill - Oleh Voloshyn - is part of a much wider network of pro-Russian actors. He worked with this guy, an FSB agent, who I've been fascinated by for years, My investigation for @thenerve.news shows how Gill was a pawn in a Kremlin operation that spanned both Europe & US 2/

NEW: The British politician, his Russian intelligence handler & a Kremlin plot against the US & Ukraine. My new piece about Nathan Gill and Nigel Farage for @thenerve_news in which we ask: Why, even now, is no-one asking questions? t.co/BUTtpK9C4S

it's broken containment people who have no idea who I am and no interest in reading the second, clarifying post in this thread which literally says "fuck no" are arguing with me without clicking, this is my life now, I can blame the subs but In the structure of this thread I did this to myself

Ankh-Morpork!

Oh thank god. Finally!

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack. Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia. Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Our classrooms are not safe for us or regular students. Our universities canot be relied upon to protect us. You have to keep speaking up about this. Faculty already are, but we need folks who aren’t in academia raising the alarm for everyone else. The End.
