Earth is slippery.
Pay attention. Propaganda hides in headlines, expert panels, and press briefings. Learn to recognize it by its patterns—not by the promises it makes.

Selective Humanization
This is all propaganda. Not just lies, but how stories are told. What gets left out. Who gets blamed. Who is made to look human. Who gets erased. This shapes public opinion without saying it outright.

Appeal to Fear
The White House calls our gente “illegals taking over.” Media outlets repeat it word for word. This is fear-based messaging. When protest is labeled a threat, it becomes easier to silence. That’s how propaganda uses fear to control.

Name Calling & Demonization
People marching for Palestine are called “terrorist supporters” who have “taken over.” Same thing happens to Chicanos/Latinos protesting ICE. Instead of listening, the media paints us as dangerous. This is how movements are demonized.

Bias by Omission
Gaza vs. Tel Aviv. Headlines highlight fear in Israel. But Palestinian deaths, including children, are pushed aside. When one group’s suffering is erased, media tells us who matters and who doesn’t.
