Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Too often the truth is a single guy carrying a grocery bag while the other side is a line of tanks directed by a government.
We're not fighting back on the same scale. It's not legal for my government to fight back in the same way.
We do have the truth. That helps a ton, but it's not enough alone.

I don't know how to fix it. I don't have an easy solution. Knowing that you're interacting with real people with their actual approximate location (state/county) would help, as the Twitter posts labeled from Russian cities has shown. But that's not easy to execute, and may not do enough.

It's too easy to bury the truth when the opposition can create dozens of arguments against you. Or better yet, some of those can pretend to be on your side.
The opposition isn't arguing against a strawman if they can get someone to argue that strawman on your behalf. They *can* create that.

Anonymous social media is too easy to manipulate.
The idea behind the free exchange of ideas is that the better ideas and the truth should shine through. The issue is that, especially on social media, it's not a fair fight.
On social media it's too easy to create dozens of "people".

“WE are the federal law,” Trump says.
Claiming a leader embodies the law is part of fascism.

Americans voted for cheaper groceries. Less than a week on the job and Trump's already managed to get us into a trade war that will drive up the cost of coffee and be a gut-punch to American farmers and manufacturers, all because Colombia hurt his feelings.
After President Trump hit Colombia with tariffs, President Gustavo Petro said his government will "raise import tariffs from the U.S. by 25%"
Columbia hits back at Trump by moving to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products
The U.S. is Colombia's largest trade and investment partner, per the State Department.

Biden shares concerns about "the potential rise of a tech industrial complex" during his farewell address.
"Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling the abuse of power... The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit," he said.
