I don't like this, but it's true. Twitter is where I still have the largest nominal reach, and probably largest reach among various people in the public eye, and there's an argument for the uses of that... but it would be far better for "X" to become irrelevant, and my use slows that down.
The point is that the sooner there is a colony collapse on Twitter, the less dangerous it will be. As a writer on conspiracy theories I am fucking begging you to stop posting there
The argument is not that you’re enriching him, it’s that it’s a major vector for disinfo and racist shit and as long as there’s a critical mass of normies there, that stuff breaks through instead of places like 4chan where it just circulated amongst the asshols

Trump says he's going after "radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." That kind of rhetoric has preceded every genocide in history.
Am I saying Trump is planning a genocide? No. But don't be surprised when the brownshirt violence starts.

Trump Takes Veterans Day Speech in a Very Different Direction
The former president said that threats from abroad were less concerning than liberal “threats from within” and that he was a “very proud election denier.”

The demonization of DC in right-wing rhetoric has always been racist and aimed to justify the disenfranchisement of DC as a state. But in the last year it's been matched by efforts to strip DC of home rule and make us an "example" of how the GOP would run cities and it terrifies me

Yeah. The "14" is a completely fake number, with no connection to the Secret Service's actual practices (which involve the number "120").
The "88" is his own chosen number.
And I don't see any reason to give him the benefit of the doubt on it.

Contrary to what Lara Logan claims (besides falsely claiming MMFA is behind QAnon), she's previously:
-echoed Q's call to deny QAnon exists
-collaborated with QAnon influencer Juan O. Savin
-endorsed the QAnon-connected adrenochrome conspiracy theory
So she does have something to do with QAnon.

100% to this: “responding to disinformation is not about playing whack-a-troll or censoring. It’s about providing, surfacing, and teaching people how to find correct information. It’s about more speech, not less speech.”
The injunction in Missouri v Biden is a politicized effort to eliminate scrutiny of disinformers ahead of the 2024 election. It’s meant to intimidate researchers and government officials from doing critical work to protect democracy.
