That's a solid point, really. "Logic, reason & empathy..rooted in emotional "intelligence". TY. ✅

Ms. Hotard's point about counter-propaganda is to "spread the truth at scale — the same scale & to the same audience that is being targeted w the lies." It's hard to argue w that. Especially bc of the RW controlling the media houses you reference. Thanks for all that you do, Mr. Isaacs.💯🎯✅ 💔💙🇺🇸🌎🙈🙏

Ms. Hotard's major points ring true to my ears. RW voters r generally immersed in RW messaging. I follow LW messaging/news & it's generally legal & constitutional based POV. It's prob difficult to stir emotions w that agenda. What wld you consider good emotional talking points for the LW? 💔💙🇺🇸🌎🙈🙏

Time to Solve Our Propaganda Problems like the Military Does A large percentage of our nation’s voters are immersed in Right Wing propaganda. What’s the solution? We should

It's RW propaganda, really. And they have become exceptional at it.

You gotta hand it to Republicans. They trained their rapey braindead racist voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as a pathetic white racist idiot is doing it. Bravo. Really.

Yes - and so weirdly, many bars, airports, waiting rooms have Fox turned on their televisions. Like, how did that become the go to channel? Fox started this rot. I saw a distinct change of opinions ever since that channel became popular. #FOXMUSTGO

A Historian Spent 30 Years Interviewing Nazis. He Identified 12 Warning Signs of Fascism. All 12 Are Present in Trump's America Right Now. The evidence is not opinion. It is public record. And it demands your attention before November.

If the Ellison deals go through, Trump aligned billionaires will control TikTok, X, Facebook, CBS, CNN, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, and the Washington Post. That is not a free press. That is a captured press.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Last month, Trump's DOJ inexplicably dropped the prosecution in the largest ($20 billion!) Iran sanctions violations case ever:

Now one month later, they're bragging about how they're going to so so so sooooo prosecute Iran sanctions:

What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.

"Top staffers were figures with connections to GOP politics who hadn’t worked in the arts, including one spouse of a Republican party leader whose longest professional experience was working as a marketing and events manager at a Toyota dealership in Ireland..."

"Contempt of court is a public offense, and the fate of our democratic republic will depend on whether we treat it as such. In the many forms in which it can be committed, contempt degrades the power that the People, through their Constitution and Congress, gave the federal courts. Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands. For contempt offends not only the authority of whichever judge has been subjected to such incursions, but it also offends our system of governance. Addressing contempt is, therefore, a responsibility that is part and parcel of the court’s duty to interpret and apply the laws of the governed."

Two Trump appointees on the D.C. Circuit panel blocked Boasberg from even INVESTIGATING contempt of court related to the March 2025 flights to El Salvador.

The dissent: "Without the contempt power, the rule of law is an illusion, a theory that stands upon shifting sands."

“Instead of lectures, families need reforms that will improve the lives of children & parents.

The irony is hard to miss: Republicans who paid lip service to helping moms after the Supreme Court ended Roe v. Wade continue to oppose policies that would make parenthood more affordable & sustainable.”

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

I'm no expert on Eastern Europe, but what I had understood from close observers of politics there not so long ago was that democracy in Hungary seemed far less salvageable than in Poland.

Yet now the democratic opposition in Hungary apparently has won an electoral victory ...

🎯Yes! And as evil does, our would be king called for wiping out a civilization on Easter Sunday. That's the man that so many RW believers hold as their savior. Can't quite put my finger on it, but surely seems like something is off about this. 💔💙🇺🇸🙈🙏
