@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.

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.
It's true there is a lot O' dumb you can't fix. Just keep going

This troublemaker Michael Moore dude has Fahrenheit 11/9 (2018) available on several platforms through the election.

Might want to watch it, should you not recall 2016, or wish to remind yourself that nothing is a given with an election and Donald Trump.

Major #newspapers are giving #Trump’s #January6 #indictment dramatically less attention than they did #Clinton’s email server
Obsessive #news #media focus on Clinton’s server in final weeks of #election2016 helped Trump to victory, even as #Comey ultimately reconfirmed that no charges were appropriate. 8yr later, with one presidential candidate facing active prosecution for federal charges related to his attempt to subvert election, outlets are making different choices.

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.

Unlike #Election2016 #HiliaryClinton #Wikileaks & #news printed her emails. Now per AP, News outlets were leaked insider material from #Trump campaign. They chose Not To Print It. At least 3 news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside #Trump campaign, including its report vetting #JDVance as VP candidate. So far, each has #refused to reveal any details about what they received. #Politico #NewYorkTimes #WashingtonPost described what they had in broad terms. https://www.yahoo.com/news/news-outlets-were-leaked-insider-041110554.html

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.

“…a clear and present danger to the integrity of our #electionsystem…is the threat of noncitizens and #illegalaliens voting…”
…he conceded he had no evidence to support that assertion.
“We all know, intuitively, that a lot of illegals are voting in #federalelections, but it’s not been something that is easily provable,” Johnson said. “We don’t have that number.”
In fact…the number of #noncitizens suspected to have voted in #election2016 was ~30.

Elections #Elections2024
*#ElectionInterference*(7/7)
...am, as yet, undecided regarding the potential threat of a surveillance state, as in #China, #NorthKorea, or #Russia, but things cannot continue as they are. The really stolen (from #HillaryClinton) #Election2016 in the #US should be a definite call for action.
However, ending end-to-end #encryption (#E2E) is certainly taking it way too far. There must be a society left worth fighting for.tbc

There were so many things that seemed utterly absurd but actually happened immediately in the wake of #Election2016. One of the most surreal was the scramble to save and protect #ClimateChange data that was suddenly being scrubbed from .gov sites.Apparently there was to be no mention of climate, anywhere in our governance - ever. Things would have been much worse if not for a few quick thinking admins and students. Still pales in comparison to what would follow

Information Warfare Was Key to #Prigozhin's Mutiny Against Putin
The #Wagner boss oversees an online army that has pushed disinformation around the globe, including alleged interference in the #election2016.

Bears Mentioning Dept : #NWS has yet to go native instance(s) on #Mastodon. Given the debacle of #Election2016 and our subsequent scramble to preserve/quench purging of #Climate data *across .gov websites* the requisite conclusion is that literally no learning has taken place.

#Twitter showed us just how much damage a single malefactor is capable of inflicting ( yeah okay #Election2016 by a mile but at least some folks #woke up 😝) but unfortunately every centralized platform and MegaCorp can and *will* do the same. Minimizing your exposure to any one of them is about putting your own survival first. Better late than never. Spread it out people

Heads up!
Musk has been doing an excellent job stirring up political discourse on #Twitter with his dissentious shenanigans. All that dialogue data is exactly the kind needed if one wanted to manipulate voters in real time based on sentiment analysis. This could be an AI designed to do what #CambridgeAnalytica did on #Facebook during the run up to #Election2016. #Musk #TwitterAI

Let me ask this again:
You voted for Trump because you “couldn’t trust that woman,” Hillary Clinton?
Let me say this again:
Fuck. You.

Maybe, once again, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will show how fit he is to lead, by whom he indiscriminately serves and follows.
The former governor’s so lacking in confidence that I’m inclined to pen a spec sitcom about him: The Jersey Unsure! But seriously, folks…
Thank you. Thank you very much. I’ll be playing this venue all weekend. Please come back. Bring the spouse, the kids, grandma. Hell, bring the Pomeranian too.

Donald #Trump's 2016 campaign will void hundreds of non-disclosure agreements as part of a settlement in a lawsuit brought by a former campaign aide.
As part of the settlement, the campaign will pay $450,000, with $25,000 going directly to #JessicaDenson, who alleged the campaign tried to shut her up when she went public with allegations of abusive treatment by another campaign member.

We don't care if #JoeBiden can't run a 5 minute mile. In times like these you want experience. With the #Federal government under #Democratic control appointees are vetted for competence and experience. We don't get federal governance flooded with #Grifters , #ForeignAgents and #Fascists. Or the #Nepotism of #Election2016. That is the last #Firewall of our #Democracy and at least for now- it stands

NEW: Trump's 2016 campaign agreed to pay $450,000 to settle a long-running legal fight with ex-staffer Jessica Denson over NDAs signed by staffers, volunteers, and contractors. The campaign wanted to keep the amount confidential; the judge said no.

CW: WHAT RUSSIAN FBI SPY McGonigal's MISTRESS SAYS
An insightful #LongForm (midform) article on Charles McGonigal the #FBI agent who headed up #CounterIntelligence at the time of the #election2016 #HillaryClinton email scandal, who was recently arrested for being a #RussianSpy (big surprise!).
The story is built around interviews of EX-GF Allison Guerriero, and members of her family, who'd met McGonigal, to get the behind the scenes story.

#Trump, attorneys sanctioned over $937,000 for allegedly abusing court
District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks ruled that they perpetrated a "continuing pattern of misuse of the courts" in order to "dishonestly advance a political narrative" in his lawsuit against #HillaryClinton.
Trump's suit baselessly accused Clinton, her campaign & other Democrats of working to paint a false narrative about Trump's alleged collusion with Russia in 2016.
