When right wing cope that you expect from chan trolls comes from the US Senator from Utah, and the rest of the party - incl Senate leadership - says nothing. Two people are dead and this asshole is trying to collect internet based points. Wannabe-influencer edgelord politicians are a scourge. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreihqqlesuagsd44d7s3ngl7zcq6wzjdfhh2gysfhisdo3wy2cvvg3y https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreihalpfz37aossorety5zhfnkj6qffh2a2x7mgfxs7bht5w6toiq7u

🌱 things are going pretty well at the plot. Nothing has died yet.

After days of dire warnings ab impending “rent-a-riots” & “color revolutions”, the propagandists of the right wing bullshit machine are subdued today. Fox is continuing to play guilt-by-association thru “revelatory” fundraising DBs but it’s weak. Did you know *Dems* were involved in the protests? https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiaabpw6yayidspxvdmlll5cmyeujcei7e2hn4eospkh3ak5b53pja https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreib4ag6b7zkm4ps7zxeoq5qmeo7tw5oqchqywxkdszofwa3txu6rsa

“Well golly,all that stuff he’s been writing and saying for the last twenty years…holy cow, he actually meant it.” There is this incredulity that respectable media have ab cranks, like they simply cannot believe these ppl are actually dead serious. That’s why we got all those equivocating articles. RE:

It’s 6:04 p.m. in D.C., and we have parading. Crowd has filled in a bit at the route front, but mainly one deep along Constitution Avenue.

Multiple orgs that did rapid response analysis of content and rumors during chaos in 2020 don’t exist anymore -ie, Jim Jordan et al killed SIO. Some pretty handy tools -like Crowdtangle- no longer exist. The Twitter/X API costs $$$ now, so OSINT tools died. And we need these things more than ever.

Not to put too fine a point on it but this has been true for the better part of a decade, and his petty resentments led directly to Jan 6. RE:

Here is the Right Wing Bullshit Machine kicking up again. It is the same playbook, and the same players, every. single. time. They twist funding and relationships. They use phrases like “ties to”. 🙄 Then,it was SIO’s right to do research on Trump’s election lies. Now it’s your right to organize. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreidcfbj4pnzlngfebkk6posidlewztryv6ltnsilbarl6ohptsc3uq

I’m in Brussels at a bar explaining Gavin Newsom’s character arc to twentysomething Parliamentary staffers who are like “what is happening in your country?” I personally associate the man with Harvey Dent but this literary reference is proving universal, and useful…

Newsom is one of the few D pols who is good at this. He knows how to play the virality & attention game. I use his low res “lies vs facts” website from the LA wildfires as an example of how to correct the record in a way that made ppl share. Leverage mockery.
