  1. @rms It’s a surprising recommendation in the end: to consume local news. Is that it? It’s hard to see how that will make the slightest dent.

    There needs to be a campaign to get liberals off #Facebook, #Twitter, and the like. When #CambridgeAnalytica sabotaged #election2016, there should have been a mass exodus from FB. The underlying problem is whatever prevented that from happening, which is likely addiction.

  6. Reasons For Optimism Dept: The #Dems fighting for #Democracy didn't stop fighting when Bush v Gore came down , or after #Election2016 , or at any other time. Even when you win you keep fighting to make things better. The Darksiders don't walk away. Neither do we.

  19. ⬆️ >> removing #Trump from ballots based on his role in #Jan6… But also, let's not forget what he did… in #Helsinki in 2018, which #CIA dir #Brennon called #nothingShortOfTreasonous

    @emptywheel lifted the Helsinki fog for me, when I was looking at bribery and other wrong places ➡️ emptywheel.net/2024/10/10/dona

    Trump had #Flynn personally work with #Russia on #Syria a mere 14 hours after #Election2016, not to fight #ISIS, but to validate Bashar al-#Assad.

  22. CW: CW US pol, commentaire d'un commentaire sur une campagne antisémite émanant de Twitter

    Ça a toujours été Twitter et 4chan. Je n'ai pas d'informations particulières au sujet d'Elon Musk et mon opinion personnelle importe peu, mais je me souviens du moment où des bots à avatar de Pepe The Frog commentaient sous les posts d'Hillary Clinton pour faire de la pub pour Trump, avant les élections de 2016… Et Twitter est passé de l'affichage des réponses par ordre chronologique à un ordre par "proximité résale" sur une base de surveillance de masse, de mémoire, moins d'un mois après l'annonce des résultats.

So far, each has #refused to reveal any details about what they received. #Politico #NewYorkTimes #WashingtonPost described what they had in broad terms. yahoo.com/news/news-outlets-we

    I'm glad he did this. I was thinking this very same thing as the press conference went on. On the ex-bird site I remarked in real time to MSNBC, as the event droned on, «Why give free air to Trump spewing a nonstop series of unchecked lies? STOP. There's no "news" here. No policy. No action. He offers incitement, you offer credibility. If you looked back to media doing such for Hitler, how would you describe their role? Neutral? Proper?»

    I had meant to go on longer in that thread, but I just couldn't bear it. I was thinking back to how many times in the 2016 campaign MSNBC had a chyron saying "Breaking news: Trump about to speak". It seemed almost daily and was infuriating. No other candidate got that daily bump. MSNBC should have credited itself later as one of his biggest soft donors. If democracy falls this time, they will be due part credit. But it won't save them from being thrown in jail by Emperor Trump I.

    Sadly, the best description I've come up with to describe the relationship of MSNBC and Trump is the old joke, here told by Woody Allen in Annie Hall, that ends with "we need the eggs" ... except this is only a metaphor, and the real sutuation is no joke.

  42. ⬆️ >> #Trump has to be really careful with his VP choice, unless that choice is also made for him by someone else 😀

    As Trump narrows #VP search, his short list is nearly all men.

    Some of his wealthy donors said he should select Nikki #Haley but he largely dismissed the idea.

    He had previously expressed an interest in choosing a woman to improve his standing with female voting bloc after his conviction over coverup to influence #Election2016 by silencing a porn star.
