Disinformation research is forbidden knowledge. We cant back down and re-orient our field to appease the dominant political ideology. We need to be advancing public knowledge about media manipulation and disinformation. Why? Because disinformation is a tool of the powerful to suppress opposition

Not seeing much information regarding the General Strike for Jan 23rd. Nationwide? Is the date right? I find conflicting info.

We can remove Trump from the horror show and not solve the problem. The problem is rooted in a rabid capitalism that generates cruel inequities. It fuels self-interest in the masses. It uses wealth as a yardstick of worth. It makes poverty inevitable. All this must change.

We bypassed defending anyone no matter what party who supports this passively or believes normal channels work. Fixing blame or attacks within weaken us. The focus must be on the enemy. Not the lazy soldier.

We're supposed to loving each other, not hurting our fellow citizens. We don't always have to agree, but we should be considerate of others beliefs. Not forced by our gov't to be against each other! Wth? This is so wrong! Idk what we're gonna do, they're giving him king rule. Such BS! 🖕🏼👹🍊💩🤡🍑🖕🏼

"People are often surprised to learn that I am an optimist. They know how often I have been jailed, how frequently the days and nights have been filled with frustration and sorrow, how bitter and dangerous are my adversaries. They expect these experiences to harden me into a grim and desperate man."

It's time to bid Bluesky adieu for the day. Near evening I shut down and let my mind rest and unwind before bedtime. Fortunately, Bluesky is the only form of social media I have now. It's where I find hope & connection.

Still over the moon irked with the MAGA idiot who tried to tell me that RFK Jr. wasn't antivax. When I pushed back he threatened me with the loss of his "friendship." That's the whipped cream and poison cherry on this one. We're no longer remote acquaintances.

One of the most disturbing things about humans is the tendency to outsource their thinking. Instead of researching and questioning, they'd rather have someone else tell them what to believe and what to do. Humans are pack animals. It looks like this time, the herd jumped the cliff.

We waste time paying attention to what Trump says. We need to focus on what his henchmen do and how to stop all of them. He's the tip of the ugliest iceberg the world has ever known.

Somedays I skate on the edge of an almost paralyzing outrage.

If anyone suggests we still live in a democracy, I have to ask how long have they been asleep.

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, beautiful friends. Empower yourself with forgiveness. We learn through experience. Time is the greatest teacher.

If you're heading out to a protest, there are a number of concepts to keep in mind to keep yourself—and your data—safe. ssd.eff.org/module/atte...

NO MATTER WHAT TRUMP TRYS TO DO Tomorrow is #MLKDAY A federal paid holiday Trump cannot erase the Greatness of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr... Tomorrow in his honor Make Good Trouble " The time is always right To do what is right"

For years, I failed to understand the power of propaganda and willful ignorance. This lesson has left me raw. I look to the people who possess the apparent magic of discernment. There lies our hope.

When victory against the tyrant is achieved, we must not return to business as usual. Embracing the needs of the many over the feverish lust of the rich is imperative. It cannot be led by the rabid capitalism that brought us here. This will be a monumental task.

When is the last time the US had massive protests against a standing president? During Trump’s first “ruin” (also known as term in office) as so-called president. Pushback has only grown.

The flip/flop while fascinating is just one of their side shows. www.mediaite.com/media/progre...

Tyrants will fall. Stupid tyrants fall more easily. Their “plans” don’t consider the future. They underestimate the actions of good people. The journey to that day maybe a long one. It depends on each of us and how we respond to the call for action.

Oregon: In a rural field, a lone goose sat in a puddle. Was it pretending it was a pond? Did the other geese leave him/her/them behind because he/she/they failed as a goose? Was it a brave act? A last stand? Gosh I wish I had a picture.

Our strength lies in our numbers.

Any time I see a repost of the dictator’s rabid posts, I don’t read it. It’s drivel and insanity packaged in ridiculous lies. I am already clear that he needs to be stopped and tried for his crimes. I hope he lives long enough for us to enjoy justice.

He’s got a new doodad. Nothing more. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

If your response to authoritarianism is to shut down and do nothing, you’ve just scored a point for the opposite team. peoplesaction.org/wp-content/u...

Justifying wealth by scapegoating the poor is heinous. It robs the poor and undermines our belief in our worthiness. It generates shame. It silences. It controls. I have felt all those things. Our ”laziness” our “ lack of ability our “unworthiness” … Are all lies.

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, beautiful souls. The storm is upon us, but together we stand strong. Hold on, don't give up. We are here as one. #Jaye’sMorningLight

Who knew so many sociopaths enter politics?

This is one organizations working to unite the movement against our current authoritarian government. freespeechforpeople.org/movement-for...

So appreciate the boost to connect, unify and encourage each other. In light of the murder of one of our own, this response coupled with the call for action is inspiring. generalstrikeus.com

#ProudBlue #Pinks #ResistanceUnited Good morning, friends. Every small step forward is one step closer to success. Keep moving forward one step at a time. Baby steps are fine. You’re still making progress. #Jaye’sMorningLight

Republicans haven’t been about democracy for sometime. Their goal is to destroy democracy in the US and establish control by the wealthy. They think they know better because they’re rich and powerful. No evidence supports the last sentence.

As long as we agree that the regime must end and are doing whatever we can to end it by moral means, we’ve got friends in the fox hole.

This has got my attention and support. generalstrikeus.com

Woke up in the middle of the night with a churning brain. Relaxed my way out of a downward spiral to rise again and greet another day! Me for the WIN! I’m a tough old stewing hen! www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-moo...

I don’t care who is in the Epstein files. If it’s actual legitimate evidence, anyone engaged in criminal behavior of any kind should be tried in a court of law. Predatory sex crimes make this particularly heinous. The coverup is ridiculous.

They think they’re invincible. Bizzaro’s ubermench stands before us in tattered underwear. (Okay, he’s naked but it’s too horrible to imagine.) Nobody needs x-ray vision to see that unless you come from Bizzaro world. No idea what’s going on there.
