How to fight (and win) an information war
How do you reach people trapped in a reality shaped by propaganda? Exploring the dark psychology of disinformation, author and academic Peter Pomerantsev draws on lessons from a forgotten World War II...

Saw a great TED talk about what the Brits did to take advantage of Germans' frustration with Hitler using fringe media. That's the kind of resistance we need to create--one ready to make sure the right people get blamed for the mess that's coming.

Portland is not "war ravaged." This is delusional and dangerous.
Sending troops into American cities doesn't make our communities safer — it just stokes fear and stirs up chaos.
Trump is plunging further into authoritarianism every single day.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore.

Congress didn’t just lose its power it gave it away. On war, trade, and policy, lawmakers have willingly let the executive branch rule unchecked.

You thought it was bad that Republicans were attacking school lunches to give tax breaks to billionaires?
They've also hidden private school vouchers in the bill.
So not only will public school kids go hungry, their schools will see resources siphoned off for private schools.

Immigrants are not invading America. The "invasion" has been implanted in MAGA brains (by Fox, Heritage, Tucker) like a psyop. They are told this over and over again. So, of course, MAGAs think Trump is liberating American cities. It's the most logical conclusion from their perspective.

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants
I listened to President Trump call Rep. Jasmine Crockett a "low IQ individual" and I realized I had heard that before, so put the question to ChatGPT.

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

Trump is openly refusing to comply with the Supreme Court.
It is a constitutional crisis when a sitting president refuses to acknowledge the autonomy of Judicial Branch.
This is THE line, Chuck Schumer-where are you??
Fellow Democrats, please ask Schumer to step aside, we need new leadership.
