Until we teach social media users how to recognize coordinated fake campaigns, these operations will continue to ruin careers, wreck lives, and sow widespread discord.
So here is my best effort to educate users on how to spot these campaigns.

I can't excerpt this entire article so I am imploring you to read it. @amarpeterman.bsky.social takes a complicated Q of how those on the left should respond to Trump's flip-flop on Epstein Files and flips it into a careful, thoughtful, analysis and explanation. I am floored by Amar's work.
Is the Epstein Controversy an Apocalyptic Moment for the MAGA Movement?
Trump’s 180-degree turn on the Epstein files has not gone unnoticed by his base. Will it matter?

This story is related to another important one from @democracydocket.com: Then-LA County prosector Eric Neff brought dubious charges against a software exec based on a tip about supposed voter fraud from Phillips.
Now Neff is at DOJ in a voting rights role.
Now Neff is at DOJ in a voting rights role.
Phillips has called himself a “vocal opponent of FEMA” and now leads arguably its most important division.
He once wrote on LinkedIn that FEMA has “failed to deliver a comprehensive and detailed plan for working with the faith community,” and touted responders “with a Christ centered approach.”

Gregg Phillips will lead the Office of Response and Recovery, “the heart of what FEMA does.”
