Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

It's easy to assume that because they're important and everyone they interact with online is important that they must have access to better information, but it's far more plausible that they're more susceptible to conformism and the costs of contesting misinfo are higher due to fears of ostracism.

Pols love to talk about "epistemic bubbles", but who can really afford to maintain that even with the luxury of a smartphone and a data plan? Normal people still have to work to feed themselves, interact with a broad swath of society who they often depend upon. But Clinton-types have no guardrails.

Disrupt their events. Drive negative press coverage. Damage their reputations. Compel your organizations and institutions to sever ties with them.

Here in Boston, we’ve made it more costly for Fenway to abandon trans youth and trans adults by protesting in front of their clinic, by severing ties with them, and by disrupting their gala and public events.
I suggest local activists elsewhere investigate similar potentials for disruption.

As a matter of survival, our response must be to make it as costly as we can, as ugly and as reputationally damaging and as expensive as we are able to - to abandon and sacrifice trans people.
