Two things are simultaneously true: 1) There are multiple organized operations to artificially manipulate social media sentiment active at any given moment; 2) The asshole you just encountered has a very low chance of being one of them and is probably just an asshole.

you would not know it from listening to republican politicians or the news or trump himself, but to the extent that trump is in danger of assassination from anyone, it's pretty consistently coming from the far right or the conspiracy wing

Ligia shared some of the workers in her crew harvesting brocolli near Santa Maria on this warm Spring day. Every farm worker has an assigned task such as cutting the brocolli, wrapping the vegetable, placing into the box or loading the trailer. #WeFeedYou

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Kilmar Abrego García is alive. Bukele, President of El Salvador, visits the White House Monday. We need to keep the pressure on the Trump administration to bring Abrego García home. His family needs him, and he has not been charged with a crime in any country. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

i do not think the mainstream press is equipped or capable of covering ideological white nationalists and eugenicists as such, or even capable of noting that this is what they are. it is related to the wide belief that racism is simply a matter of manners.
