I’m an institutionalist. I get the thinking here. But please: don’t wait to create alternate sources of legitimacy — create the shadow cabinet, even if only to speak to the public. Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Don’t wait for permission.

Nailed it. RFK Jr has picked Malone, who is certifiably nuts, and Kulldorff, who has a massive victim complex (Bhattacharya’s co-defendant in Murthy; the govt did not censor him either). The antivax HHS guy is naming antivaxxers to ACIP. Imagine that, [@gorskon.bsky.social](

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it.

Step 1: MAGA wolf warriors say their talking points Step 2: MAGA regime media —outlet founded by Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie —covers the “viral moment” Step 3: Repeat, normalize via online crowd, cover on Fox Step 4: Set policy based on “demand” This is modern propaganda. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreieyi3mri6sek4ryutshhk47b33a5asdi7ctayxye2a26jdbpbogx4 https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreifjcfarr5v3lgw4bmdaaglgf3f2tybewbkzvtdvmac34kssznw7rq

God, what a self-own this is.

I am currently only seeing this on a couple of Nicaraguan and Venezuelan social media channels. This is surprising bc it’s incendiary. It reminds me of Floyd protests when dubious outlets began passing off old arrest footage as current to generate rage. Where is NYC media on it? Bystander video? RE:

“There’s millions and millions of just really cool things that we’re going to be able to do including blackballing the scientists.” We all knew who this mf was before he got appointed. Some of us have dealt w/his BS for over a decade. This is on Senate Republicans. Particularly Bill Cassidy. RE:
