  1. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a. "A series of moves by Donald Trump’s administration to sow #doubt in the #integrity of #US #elections has intensified concern among #voting #experts - & sparked hope among #election #deniers - that it could declare a #national #emergency. The #WhiteHouse & US #federal #agencies have released a string of #documents this summer... stoking expectations that the US #President could move to exert greater #control over November’s US #midterm elections."

  2. @Nigel_Lake @GeraldKutney #Climate #deniers like #Trump, who hate #science, also love #technology. This attitude to science & technology is long-standing, & stems from the Puritan emphasis on the utilitarianism that ought to be embodied in the pursuit of science, see: journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/1.

  3. @GeraldKutney #Climate #deniers don't deal in #science & #truth, & have NEVER done so - the #attack now is quite explicitly against science & truth themselves. If #politics won't do the trick ("climate #scientists are all #communists"), they'll resort to #religion ("climate scientists are all atheists"), & if THAT won't do, they'll resort to #magic, & reject the entire #scientific #enterprise, as it has been constructed since the 17th Century.

  4. Seriously. They are #science #deniers. They cannot handle the Big Bang. It freaks their little punk asses out. And then if I tried to talk to him about space being all pervaded and they're actually an imagination they melt. 😹😹😹 Help me!!!

  5. RIP to the #Heritage #Foundation, which functionally died this week,
    as its most prominent staffers made a beeline for the exit.

    The Suspect: President Trump and his posse of online shitposters.

    The weapon: Antisemitism.

    The room: Phoenix Convention Center.

    Having offered up their not-inconsiderable reputations and intellectual firepower,
    these once-respected thinkers realized too late that they were never steering the ship.

    The goal was always a personalist regime that wrecked the economy for the benefit of a few oligarchs.

    #Antisemitism is at the center of the Republican project.

    From decrying “globalists” and #George #Soros, to embracing the “real” Jews in Israel,
    the GOP is inextricably entwined with #Christian #nationalism.

    In polite company, the party manages to keep this antisemitism as subtext.

    They openly attack other minorities, particularly trans people and Muslims;

    But Jew-hatred is expressed as rage at “#elites” or ancient blood libel repackaged for the modern era, such as Pizzagate and Qanon.

    “Trolling the libs” necessitates saying the unsayable.
    And Trump, who won by embracing the most online people on earth,
    is constantly playing footsie with the fringe figures who endorse him.

    That’s how he wound up hosting #Kanye #West and #Nick #Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022,
    both avowed antisemites and #Holocaust #deniers.

    But bringing trolls inside the tent means the GOP can’t plausibly deny that they’re central to the project.

    Republicans can’t very well maintain a veneer of separation from bomb throwers like #Alex #Jones, #Candace #Owens, and #Laura #Loomer
    when they’re being boosted by the president himself.

    And so the “normie” Gippers steadfastly assure themselves that they are the real GOP — the signal, not the noise.

  6. #Trump allies who promoted false #2020election claims now hold senior #federal roles, Heather Honey @ #DHS and Marci McCarthy @ #CISA, embedding #election #deniers inside agencies that oversee #voting #security and policy.
    They are advancing plan 2 use fabricated “national emergency” powers & proposed “U.S. Citizens Elections Bill of Rights” to override state authority, restrict mail voting, purge voter rolls, and centralize partisan control of elections. #elections #2026 nytimes.com/2025/10/22/us/poli

  7. Racial resentment primes White Americans to believe election outcomes are fraudulent, according to these study findings.

    Election deniers tend to draw on narratives linking race and criminality when pushing election fraud, while still remaining committed to democracy as an ideal.

  8. He's re-admitting 8,000 military staffers who were fired for refusing the COVID vaccine. They're talking of removing training about women bombers during WWII, bc DEI=bad. The stupid here is deep.

  9. On the #ballot tomorrow: Our #SacredEarth, & its future due to #climatechange & its #deniers. Species living on Earth, & their Sacred #habitats. Women & their #bodilyautonomy. Men & shared #familyplanning. Children & their right to a full & healthy life. bit.ly/4fhE26g

  10. #ClimateChange #Fascists #Floods #Spain #Deniers
    207 DEAD SO FAR
    This Region's Gvmnt are fascists who deny climate change and seek to dismantle public services
    7:31AM The Weather Agency issues the red alert (they have no authority to order citizens to stop their activities)
    1PM The President of the Regional Gvmnt releases a video: “The storm’s intensity will decrease in the course of the evening". They have erased this video
    8PM The Regional Gvt FINALLY sends a warning message to the population

  11. Republicans are reprising efforts in the legal system to ⚠️challenge existing election law in three key battleground states that could help decide who wins in November.

    #Michigan, #NorthCarolina and #Nevada are targets of the blitz,
    led by the Republican National Committee
    -- alongside state parties who are 👉questioning election integrity when it comes to
    absentee ballots,
    the use of digital voter cards and
    whether noncitizens are being allowed to vote (they're not).

    #Trump notoriously challenged his 2020 overall election loss
    -- and the lawsuits filed this week also come as #election #deniers see their power solidified on the state level,
    🆘 worrying legal observers who say that gives a glimpse into what potential chaos might loom in 2024.

  12. Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She’s since gone on to bigger and better things, and I’ve gone on to … well, things.

    Anyway. I’ve never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.

    The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.

    If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.

  13. Concerns around #election #certification are mounting
    as county boards staffed with #election #deniers try to stall and prolong the process.

    In Nevada, for example, the Washoe County Commissioners in July voted to certify the recount for June primary election races after Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar (D) took legal action.

    ✅The Nevada Supreme Court dismissed the case after the commission certified the vote,
    🆘but didn’t rule definitively on the issue, leaving open the possibility that a similar incident could happen again.

  14. @ProPublica - #Election #Deniers Secretly Pushed Rule That Would Make It Easier to Delay Certification of Georgia’s Election Results #GOP controlled State #Election Board is poised to adopt the rule, which would potentially allow county officials, including one who secretly backed the rule, to throw the election results of the swing state into chaos this fall. propublica.org/article/georgia #democracy #election2024 #constitution #electoralcollege #voting

  15. If Robert F. #Kennedy Jr. has a campaign theme
    --beyond the appeal of his family name
    --it’s his claim that Americans are the victims of massive, intertwining #conspiracies that he is uniquely qualified to unravel.

    His paranoia politics is most pronounced, perhaps, on the matter of #vaccines, in which the independent candidate has long stoked skepticism and #disinformation.

    But his conspiracism goes well beyond medicine
    —and, as he gets deeper into his longshot 2024 bid, he appears to be making some attempt to draw #election #deniers to his following.
