We’re only human! It’s really hard not to argue against inflammatory and outrageous claims. Ask yourself first: is the point to get me to react negatively, or to act positively? Don’t take the bait – stay calm and share truths. #TruthBrigade

It’s human nature to be biased. It’s not just the bad actors who misinform, sometimes it’s our subconscious. Self-reflection is the key! #TruthBrigade#DisinfoBuster https://t.co/OuZbtBQF5F
When disaster strikes, most of us want to help. Yet a few craven, influential people are instead harming the recovery efforts, spreading antisemitic lies and wild conspiracy theories. Americans pull together in times of need! #HelpDon'tHarm #TruthBrigade https://t.co/9XDlHkxTxH
Our democracy is strongest when we trust in our systems and vote. When pundits sow mistrust, ask why! Who benefits from questioning election outcomes? The winners, or the losers? When truth tellers vote, democracy wins. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/4EEjIRWCQc
We want a less #divided society--we can build it! Disagreeing is normal, so don't let a dispute be exploited by disinformers. Target the lies, not each other. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/muZltk46Wj
@caitlynkim@Abigail_KRCC Hey there Abigail & Caitlyn, here's a super simple way to deal w miller moths. We just leave a light on in an upstairs bathroom and make sure all the other lights are off at night. In the mornings, we go into the bathroom and shoo all the moths out the window. Its..fun?
Nobody likes being manipulated. So, when pundits keep saying “woke” as some kind of code word, what are they trying to make us feel? Remember: #DogWhistles are used solely to divide and dehumanize. #TruthBrigade
Nobody wins when #GunViolence devastates our communities. So why would platforms send graphic gun videos to 9 year-olds? Ask “who profits?” when you see this! Let’s all do what we can to stop the spread of profiteering gun lies. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/V2WiZeylmP ze
It's tragic when #GunVioence shatters lives and communities. Then entertainment media amplifies it to make a profit. Here are groups doing something about it. Let's thank them!

Let’s not overcomplicate this:
Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax cut for billionaires and corporations.
And now they’re refusing to pay for it.
It’s really that simple.

🚨Accuracy Prompt Meta-Thread🚨
Weve proposed that prompting people to think about accuracy reduces misinfo sharing. But is this effect replicable & robust?

No one likes being tricked or manipulated. So when pundits say “Real Americans” it seems like some kind of code word. I can't help but wonder, what are they really trying to make us think and feel? Remember: #DogWhistles like this are used to divide and dehumanize. #TruthBrigade
Freedom MATTERS. Why do right-wing pundits keep dismissing our outrage about #SCOTUS stripping away our rights?
Forcing people to give birth is criminal, & just the beginning.
Speak up for freedom!

We’re all concerned about the Ohio toxic train derailment. So I’m baffled by Fox News blaming “wokeism” to stir up racial resentment when we should be coming together to help! I care about all of us, don’t you? #truthbrigade
