Why not an early morning thread using this data to explore the concept of "identity-protective cognition," and why understanding how it operates may be vital to understanding the role of misinformation in our digital age? This will get two likes, surely, but here goes...
A horrifying graphic from Pew showing the fruits of the right wing war on public health.
Only 48% of Republicans believe that vaccines prevent serious illness, while 80% of Democrats do.
This is not a difference of opinion in science. This is the result of a ruthless disinformation campaign.

Dartmouth’s response to the Trump admin’s corrupt contract, short and sweet: “You have often heard me say that higher education is not perfect and that we can do better. At the same time, we will never compromise our academic freedom and our ability to govern ourselves.”

This stuff is basically propaganda, and probably more dangerous than more obvious propaganda, because it performs the overcoming of objections to AI in a way educated readers are meant to find aspirationally sophisticated

If I were the owner of the @washingtonpost.com, I would not do a deal with the people who dismembered my columnist. Seems like a low bar, but Bezos managed to not clear yet another one. The world is awash in capital and that this is the choice should tell you all.

Data being extracted by DOGE staff could have included "sensitive information on unions, ongoing legal cases and corporate secrets — data that should almost never leave the National Labor Relations Board and that has nothing to do with making the government more efficient or cutting spending."
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance.
Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
