People like to think Russia is behind our disinfo and division problem. I have bad news: Russia exploits the cracks we create ourselves. That’s what I told a parliamentary committee in Ottawa today, where I testified on Russian influence and disinformation. SUBSCRIBE: rachelgilmore.substack.com

5K replies on this and counting! TBH, I’m a little afraid to check them. Not sure I could resist the temptation to try them.😈

It shouldn’t be ignored that Kash Patel chose to plead the Fifth in response to a grand jury subpoena over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents. He only testified, involuntarily, after being granted immunity. Think about that. Trump’s FBI nominee pled the Fifth in response to a DOJ subpoena.

To the surprise of no one paying attention, the President of Mexico has bigger balls than every Conservative MP, politician and pundit in Canada.

Leonard Leo, Harlan Crow, Ginni Thomas, Martha Alito, John Roberts, Sam Alito, and Clarence Thomas love it when you blame Garland and Biden for the fact that the Supreme Court stopped the cases against Trump.

I will never forgive Bloomberg news for normalizing Trump and giving him a HUGE platform by interviewing him on October 15. Can you please RT and follow us so we can overtake them them on Bluesky? This will be a huge victory for new media. 💙🙏

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law. We can no longer teach our children that. And that's really fucking tragic.

Leveraging public assets to fill private pockets is the raison d’étre of modern “conservatism”. All the hate and bigotry is just a means to convince the prey to crawl willingly into the predator’s jaws.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control
