I wrote something like this thread on Byline after the Southport riots. I've updated it here, cos I think (not sure, but think) it might have something important to say about our current crisis with social media, news reporting, and disinformation. Sorry it's long. (1/42)

The devastation on its way is unimaginable - like nothing humanity has ever witnessed before - and everyone will wish they had been climate activists and ‘hysterics’ when they had the chance. We are in a moment of unprecedented stupidity

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

Those saying Joe Biden’s pardon of his son gives “permission” to Trump to issue wild pardons forget that Trump never asks or needs permission to do anything wild.

In case you're STILL confused about mafia enabler Merrick Garland, please read this article. I wrote it in 2023. It is not a response to current events. It explains why the these events would happen unless good people intervened -- which they did not. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

1. Consent in our pseudo-democracies is strained at the best of times, but it hangs on the belief that there is some kind of justice: through inquiries, tribunals, sometimes even the law, powerful people who commit crimes against us will one day be held to account. But what if this no longer works?🧵

Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

When elitist pundits claim "No one saw it coming", all that shows is who they consider to be no one.

Never let them tell you who you are or what you're worth.

Trump and the FBI are not enemies. They are longtime collaborators.

Two former heads of the FBI went on to work for the Russian mafia. Another, James Comey, removed the head of the Russian mafia from the ten most wanted list for no good reason in December 2015. From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

1. I’m thinking aloud here, as I really don’t have the answers. This is a thread about the political challenge of the very large numbers of young men now supporting the far right. I’m writing it without blame or derision. I’m just trying to find a way through. 🧵

When the next pandemic strikes, Americans will again depend on our mainstream media to inform the nation's response & reassure the public. But media outfits like the Washington Post have (as Peter Hotez & I detail in the forthcoming #ScienceUnderSiege) have shown themselves not to be up to the task.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture.

The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention.

Here’s how they did it... 🧵
