The greatest danger of propaganda and disinformation was never that people would believe the lies — it was that people would stop believing everything, including the truth. We are there. And we are in extreme peril as a result.

THis is why reproductive rights will not be safe for any woman anywhere in the US until we re-elect @JoeBiden and a COngress that will make Roe the law of the land.
See the letter 19 GOP state attorneys general signed to go after private medical records anywhere in the country — including in all the states where abortion is legal. @maddow reports on their claim they have “the right to take your private medical records.”

Research finds that “low-status men with low dominance have more to lose and are therefore more hostile to women who threaten their status in the social hierarchy.” (July 2015) Sounds about right. https://t.co/oT3cfs9dg4

I'd say it's probably not ideal for the CEO of Twitter to tweet a fake Volatire quote that's actually a quote from US neo-Nazi and white supremacist Kevin Alfred Storm.

Elon Musk is now explicitly encouraging his 120 million followers to start following QAnon. Put differently, Elon Musk is encouraging his 120 million followers to join a domestic terrorism movement.

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too. Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.
Have you studied the random violence on the other side as well, or do you only look to the right?

Wonderful to see acknowledgment in the press of what those of us doing this work have known for awhile. Deplatforming works! Thanks, @mikeallen.

Online platforms, governments and the media all took preventive measures that made some difference.

Vote Nov. 8 for the party that will #ProtectOurFreedoms: Democrats.
Someday, when the next generation asks us what we did in this moment to protect our freedoms, will we be able to say: everything we could? Voting ends November 8th. #ProtectOurFreedoms. #VoteDemocrats.

I think it is a fair question to ask whether private school funding should be a bigger spending priority than the UW System or local communities if our goal is economic growth, competitiveness, and quality of life to attract & retain people in WI. 11/

It should be my decision when and how to start a family - not some politician's. That's why I am voting for @TheOtherMandela, because I don't want to have to move if I need IVF or healthcare due to a high risk pregnancy. #WISen

Studies have shown that a significant percentage of white Americans will oppose social programs that benefit them because they think too many Black people will benefit as well. It's just rarely made this explicit these days.

Oh @nytimes, there are so many things wrong with this article. https://t.co/MSUS2e25Fs But let's get one fact straight - Nelson was not the first Wisconsin Democratic Senate candidate to end their campaign and back @TheOtherMandela, that would be @ChrisJLarson.

Mandela Barnes, the party’s Senate candidate, is now wobbling in his race against Ron Johnson, the Republican incumbent. Democratic nominees in other states face similar challenges.

This is the kind of crap that the Innocence Project will have to unpack 25 years after a person is wrongly convicted.
Geneticist here. You can’t make facial profiles or accurate pigmentation predictions from DNA, and this is dangerous snake oil.

This race is competitive, but Mandela is getting outspent. There’s not a lot of independent expenditure money on his side, so this is not a race with media saturation where who knows what difference another $25 would even make. A good use of your money if you can swing it.

It's up to Wisconsinites to vote for @TheOtherMandela to #RemoveRon Johnson. Retweeting and donating $5 to Mandela's cause at https://t.co/StWUK4pKU0 is patriotic and will help him travel to Washington, DC, where he can work to protect Social Security and Medicare. #DemCastWI
