Explaining to the normies that memes are political propaganda and it’s taking over (present tense) the Republican Party in the year of our lord 2025… I imagine it’s needed, but man [www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/o...]( ) [Opinion | Trolling Democracy]( )
There are many crazy things happening in the world but the CIA director using an investigation to imply that Russia didn’t interfere in the 2016 election to help Trump -then starting a DOJ investigation into a past director- is worth paying attention to 👇 The data is *very clear* on what happened.

“We are tarrifing you for exercising your sovereignty and prosecuting coup-attempting criminals.” That’ll go over well with other countries. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreie4qrqlv7u3urmbm3cnqebxrgaeuzax7l4gysyk3ugjeujoyb7h3a

🧵In 2018 the Senate Intelligence Committee asked me to field a team and analyze a data set that social media platforms had turned over: several hundred gigs of data chronicling a multi-year effort to divide American society *and* interfere in an American election [www.lawfaremedia.org/article/retc...]( ) https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreibm27uih2yv3sibsu7wbv4lyb6veurgchgbarsuobtqicf2iypcf4

You can write the same story now after every disaster or violent event. The rumor mill and propaganda machine collide as self-serving influencers & online crowds spin up & politicians join in. Same stock villains. Any friction is “censorship”,any factcheck is “media lies”. I wrote a book ab this 🤷🏻‍♀️ RE:
There’s no there there but they’re getting the thrill of announcing their witch hunt via this story. RE:
Having a self-inflicted Tay moment over here…except the inconvenient fact is that key ppl like Andreessen decided that “censoring” Tay was actually bad & woke & shouldn’t have happened, so the call to temp-halt Grok seems like it’ll trigger a small civil war… [www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...]( ) [Elon Musk's Grok Chatbot Goes ...]( )
