One of the things that @bariweiss.skystack.xyz could do to help identify and combat the problem is to use her new platform to name Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, and many others spreading the "brain rot" that she is so concerned about.

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity.

Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.

Compliant and credulous media will be the death of the republic
There's no rule of journalism that says you have to show a president telling lie after lie – uncorrected – many times a day. That's a decision that corporate media are making for purposes other than delivering the truth to the public.

The GOP will destroy civil service reform.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil

I love this tactic of forcing cabinet-level officials to thank veterans for their service, after harming those veterans. Now belittle those officials for not wearing a little flag pin.
MAGAZINER: Will you thank Mr Brown for his service to our country?

NOEM: Thank you Mr Brown

M: Now what explanation can there be for locking up his wife for months when she has committed no crime other than writing a couple bad checks for $80

NOEM: It's not my job to pick which laws get enforced
