Don't cheat the reax

[Miranda Green @mirandacgreen]

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰

Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites

I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer

🧵

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle sends a chilling message, warning that Americans have “f—ked around” and are now about to “find out.”

“What will the future hold now that America has just decided that we’re going to f—k around and find out?”

This disturbing comment came moments after Ruhle complained about @ElonMusk buying Twitter to make it a “propaganda machine.”

“We have now let misinformation become the accepted information. It is washed over us. Elon Musk buys Twitter and then uses it almost exclusively to be a propaganda machine. And we’ve accepted it,” Ruhle lamented.

Biden's economic theory was that you can rapidly increase the wages of the poorest workers and the ensuing inflation could be mitigated with a soft landing. This proved correct, and voters hated it so much that no one will ever try it again.

[Brett Meiselas @BMeiselas]

Stock markets at record highs, low unemployment, wage growth exceeds inflation, the best handling of inflation of any G7 nation, energy independence, and I can go on and on and on...But no matter how this result lands, whether VP Harris ekes this out or not, it is amazing how unappreciated successful governance was in this election and how Americans are so willing to bring back into office the guy who caused all the destruction.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

People who say this election could be the "end of democracy" are so extra...

Or maybe they know the TRUE history of the election-denying white supremacist who led a violent insurrection, overturned a presidential election and ended democracy in America.

A thread

[Sam Gringlas @gringsam]

Several polling places in Fulton County received threats and had to be temporarily closed.

County election officials are seeking a court order on keep those sites open a little later.

All he has left is violence. He knows it.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Setting aside the very obvious fact that it's bad that extremists are now setting vote-by-mail drop boxes on fire, this is a reminder that if you do vote by mail, you should check online to make sure that your ballot has been accepted.

[TrumpsTaxes (@trumpstaxes.com on bsky) @TrumpsTaxes]

Everyone must watch all 8 minutes and 24 seconds of this speech by Michelle Obama.

It might be the finest I’ve ever heard on the topic of abortion rights, as well as the stakes in this election for American women…and the men who love them.

@sondraa I guess they trust him more than Hill against a righty

@TalkinYanks @MountainDew I've mentally fired this director 50 times so far this series

Today hostage families and Israelis grieve here in Tel Aviv. They are also angry. The man who created this tells me it’s a message to PM Netanyahu that “he has failed, and chosen not to” bring Israeli hostages home

@emptywheel It took the Harris team nearly a month to get mine to me. After a few weeks they told me high demand was causing the delay

[Danny Miller @DanielMillerEsq]

I’ve spent a good amount of time talking w/ people about how to convince Jewish Republicans to reject Trump.

One suggestion was to that to be effective we have to “acknowledge their fear.” Maybe. But I think more than anything we need to be honest…

[Ellie likes data @ellim992]

Far-right movements have been using Springfield, Ohio as a propaganda tool since early 2023.

There aren’t 20,000 Haitian immigrants there
in fact, there are barely 5,000 in the entire state.

The level of cognitive dissonance required for this narrative is staggering.
