With Larry Ellison in control of TikTok, we now have right-wingers or looney far-right wingers in control of most of the major social media platforms.

Right-Wing Moguls Dominate Social Media. One Legal Fix Can Help Stem the Tide.

Revising Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act would make outlets more accountable for the content they platform.

The GOP wouldn't be able to gaslight and lie to Americans if the MSM simply did their job.

GOP "messaging" is lies and fearmongering.

A Very Cynical Plan:

1. Lie about Antifa being real & powerful.

2. Lie about nonexistent "riots" in peaceful Democrat cities.

3. Lie that Jan 6 goons playing dress-up as ICE are sent to stop riots when they are going to start them.

4. Lie about who is funding Antifa so you can shut them down.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

If Dems' messaging was as effective as the GOP's this nightmare might already be over.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

There’s no evidence to suggest Tylenol causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest early circumcision causes autism.

There’s no evidence to suggest we’re in an “autism epidemic”.

There is evidence to suggest that RFK Jr is a eugenicist who’s a menace to society and public health.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.”

I remember when the GOP & right-wing hacks accused all Muslims of being Qatari agents & anyone who worked at Al Jazeera English or AJAM of being terrorists and extremists.

So, what does that make Donald Trump, who accepted a $400 million jet from them & now is letting them build a base on US soil?

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Believing that easier access to guns
leads to less gun violence
is like believing less access to birth control
leads to fewer abortions

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.
