Florida’s transformation was not loud or dramatic. It happened thru quiet procedural shifts that removed guardrails & concentrated authority in executive. A swing state became a controlled state through routine actions that seemed normal at the time. #Voices4Victory #DV1 #ProudBlue #USDemocracy

Misinformation *is* central to democratic problems today, but the solution is *not* to correct such epistemic failures directly. Instead, we must address them at their roots, in social identity.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
