This is absolutely true! The trolls thrive on poking the bears to get a mind blown reaction.
“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I am thankful for a social media site that’s not run by disinformation-pushing maniacal billionaire, not controlled by an algorithm design to censor news and much-needed debate, and not overrun by mean-spirited people who encourage and celebrate ignorance. Thankful, indeed.

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

Just because we lost an election doesn’t mean we were wrong. We’re still in this fight together.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

Do you think if the report DIDNT say Matt Gaetz paid an underage girl for rape, the GOP would vote no on releasing?

Hmmm

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

IF ONLY WE HAD THE DATA ON VACCINE EFFICACY

Measles, diphtheria, mumps, rubella, smallpox & polio—all dramatically reduced or eliminated thanks to vaccines. Millions of children’s lives saved.

Anti-vaxxer RFK Jr as HHS Secretary will spike the numbers—blood will be on the Senate’s hands. Speak up.

One thing I look for in a social network is not to have the CEO shove his reactionary political views in my face every time I open the app. So I’m happy here.
