Amazing article.
"More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

NEW: NOAA employees were ordered to give an engineer from Elon Musk's DOGE task force access to all of the agency's Google sites by the end of business Wednesday.
Nothing in the engineer's background suggests any special expertise relevant to his new role.

FYI: Direct File is still available & safe to use for 32 million people in 25 states.
Elon Musk said he "deleted" 18F, an agency that worked on Direct File.
This caused a lot of confusion, but Direct File is still up & running.
Help us combat Musk's misinformation & pass it on.
