This is exactly what Putin (and Musk, and Trump, et al) are trying to advance. This has been brewing for decades in Russian nationalist thought, and he has allies. Pay attention to the debt ceiling! This is what it is about! 👏

@charles Exceptional work. Thank you!

It's almost as though oligarchs having unilateral control over our most vital means of communication is not such a great thing after all…

Twitter has become such dead ends for tweets. It’s like you’re floating around in a void. 😝

Honored to have Zarina Zabrisky reporting from Ukraine on Episode 50(!) of Radicalized Pod. She has heartbreaking stories from the front lines in Kherson, where the Russians mined everything on the way out, and critical perspective on how the war is going overall.

If you haven’t seen the show, please give it a try. We work hard to bring the latest news on the information war and interview great guests with my cohosts @HiFi and @HeidiCuda 🙏💙

BREAKING: In a victory for voters, Georgia court denies a request from the state and allows counties to continue to offer early voting on Saturday, Nov. 26 for the Senate runoff on Dec. 6 as litigation moves forward. More to come.

SUCH a cool experiment out of the Harvard Library Innovation Lab: https://archive.social

Allows you to capture a thread from Twitter and archive it in sealed PDFs to attest to legitimacy.

Could be enormously useful to journalists, archivists, etc, particularly with Twitter facing a perilous future.

Bellingcat created a tool — the Auto Archiver — to help the open-source community, as well as journalists and researchers, easily archive online content. The tool allows for posts, and their video or visual attachments, to be archived by simply entering a link into a Google Sheets document.

Has anyone used this tool, and if so what does a low-tech user need to know? Thanks.

@Pixburghgrrl thank you. I'm still trying to navigate the platform but I'll get it eventually 🙃

@Nadinabbott 💯 agree. Just did this podcast about that with @Gal_suburban
Tonight he’s just doing straight GamerGate. It’s crazy.

@Gal_suburban I randomly saw your post today & decided to watch. WOW, I really had no idea the extent of this. "Normal" people go thru their week & maybe go to church on Sun. -- these guys are Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, 24/7/365, & then they get "surveyed" thru their churches that then target them INDIVIDUALLY for RWNJ political aims. NOTHING penetrates that bubble, and if we're not EXTREMELY careful, Trump gets elected again to finish the job. It's not just political targeting, it's ACTUAL evil. JFC!

@alimcollins I bet VA is crawling with these guys.

What would you say if you saw it in another country?*

*And this is after a "good" election with fewer allegations of fraud and threats of violence than the last one

@feditips Thanks for this feature, I need some newbie help. I'm on mastodon.social, and I searched on #Trump and the results are limited to the last 2 days and there is no hashtag at all for #Trump. Am I doing something wrong. (I also tried this for 5 other people I research and see the same results)

Michael Flynn has been very busy since the 2020 election, building a movement based on Christian nationalist ideas.
For a deep look at Flynn, where he came from, and what he's been doing, check out our joint AP/Frontline investigation, including our documentary "Michael Flynn's Holy War."

Ohai. Anyone mind if I move over here? 😇

#PFT runs the "Patriot" Party #phonypatriots (at least, that's my personal assessment)

Incorporation records for Per Aspera Policy obtained by @opensecrets also provide sparse info about the dark money group, showing little more than the fact it was incorporated by an attorney at Baker & Hostetler. The law firm’s top federal-level political clients in recent election cycles have included the Republican National Committee, National Republican Congressional Committee, American Resort Development Association, and Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign.
