The real agenda
This @Nytimes about the anti-DEI attacks draws on emails from conservative activists to show what any honest broker already knows: it is a white supremacist movement trying to restore unquestioned patriarchy. https://t.co/53AsbWdXTK pic.twitter.com/FlZxSr3NRY

Dangerous whack jobs
Mike Flynn has an extensive background in psyops, leading some very smart people to suspect he is the person behind QAnon:
Mike Flynn is promoting psychotic Pizzagate promoter Liz Crokin’s neo-Wayfair conspiracy about @Etsy selling kids along w/macrame.
Turns out the screenshot she’s using is at least 3 years old from a Korean account. The amount is almost certainly in won—about $7.#ArrestMikeFlynn https://t.co/ss5gQTqVKJ pic.twitter.com/qqdIMQNcnI

They won’t stop until somebody’s killed
Right-wing commentator Jack Posobiec posted to X early Wednesday, writing that Taylor Swift’s “girlboss psyop has been fully activated” and claimed that Swift is gearing up to be part of a “2024 voter operation for Democrats on abortion rights.” https://t.co/ElnLiNedG0

Can’t have that
A Republican-controlled Texas State Board of Education on Friday rejected seven of 12 proposed science textbooks for eighth graders that for the first time will require them to include information on climate change.https://t.co/F348U6SUl3

Too much for the Kremlin?
Meanwhile in Russia: Tucker Carlson's lies are too much even for Kremlin propagandists, who fact-check Tucker: "No, Jamie Raskin didn't actually say that."
Russian propagandists also complain that their leadership can't be as oppressive as US Republicans: "What about abortions?" pic.twitter.com/pSTOnwoMTB

The plan
New allegations in Ukraine highlight how willing Trump and his allies were to accept Russia’s assistance — and how effective the “Russia hoax” framing has been. No paywall: https://t.co/IUPF7Lz5cj

Flynn is Q
In their lawsuit against @CNN Mike Flynn’s family said QAnon was a “terrorist/extremist group,” & being accused of believing in Q was the same as “being a follower of ISIS, the Proud Boys, the KKK, or the Nazis.”

Whack job candidate
Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s announcement to run as an Independent is a dangerous and cynical move by wealthy Republicans to put Trump back in the WH. I talked with Bobby and told him that what he is doing could destroy American Democracy. He didn’t care.

Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. @roryekennedy @joekennedy @KKT_Kennedy pic.twitter.com/WJfGwSxN1z

Don’t believe everything you see
Twitter is just chock full of misleading information since the missiles first hit Israel. Something many experienced bloggers will tell you that many of the victim pictures you’ll see on social media are from past conflicts in other countries.
A doctored White House press release posted online falsely claimed the Biden admin had authorized $8 billion in emergency aid to Israel
The fact that it was fake didn't stop it from being posted across the internet and rising to the top of Google https://t.co/IcM7BvbvJB pic.twitter.com/brwnOAqGLb
