Good observational thread on sensationalist headlines and information flow (or more accurately, lack of).
Food for thought. I personally take it as a challenge to continue to hone critical thinking and cross checking of new information, especially if it is what I want to hear.

Nefarious Newt @NefariousNewtThe problem with all the attacks we've seen this week, from those on Joe Biden's age to those on the security of our own Spoutible, is that there need be NO TRUTH in any of them. It's only important the the ideas BEHIND THE UNTRUTHS be spread widely and quickly. The Internet is excellent for that.03:15 PM - Feb 09, 2024

It did. It boosted our profile and highlighted our quick response and commitment to transparency. The person responsible for the breach thought more of our users would be upset, and it would kill the company. He was wrong.

Joan H @JHuntyI do have a feeling that this also elevated Spoutible to some who didn’t know of its existence…the naysayers don’t know that yet, but Spoutible is here to stay, and more will find out what a great refuge it is for them.10:08 AM - Feb 09, 2024

Great point:
"I’ve been a social studies teacher in the U.S. for 33 years. If someone claims the American Civil War was NOT about slavery but WAS about states right, then this is how you respond.
“States rights to do what?”"

I like having a President who knows this country's history and isn't afraid to tell the truth about it.
I like having Joe Biden as our President and can't wait to vote #BidenHarris2024 . 💛

.KamalaHarris 12/28/23: In December 2021, only three states had expanded Medicaid coverage for postpartum care from two months to 12 months.
That same year, I called on all states to extend postpartum care, and so far, 42 states have done so.
It’s time for all 50 states to join us.

A reminder:
Nothing that was "accomplished" during TFG's administration was as a result of effort by him. He appointed the judges he was told to appoint and signed legislation put in front of him by McConnell.
Trashing the Constitution is a GOP project, and will happen if any GOPer wins in 2024.

SLS StickFigure @SLS_StickFigureYes, indeed. The Constitution will likely be torn up and become the Whim of Twitler. It can happen this time because he'll make sure his feral lackeys are all in place.09:32 PM - Dec 28, 2023

In April of 2021, my husband and I went for a hike here. It wouldn’t be notable, except it was just 8 months after his transplant and it was the first time he was able to go out and do something physical. It gave me hope. ❤️

I've known Rick Doblin, for years. I'm friends with his wife. She hasn't seen much of him, over the past couple of years, cuz he's been working his butt off, trying to make some progress on this. Thanks to Biden/Harris, they finally have.

In 2017, I made history as the youngest & 1st Hasidic jew (Not Jewi-ish) to get elected as District Leader in the Brooklyn Democratic party.
I'm fed up with the antisemitism coming from the far right, fueled by Elon on Twitter.

Ritchie Torres paves the way for others to build bridges between different communities, which is precisely what upsets the 'peace activists' who committed this disgusting act. This is not a form of protest and has nothing to do with the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.

Happy Bday to a beloved living legend who was the first Black father to be portrayed in a sitcom♥️🎂🎈-- John Amos fought tirelessly for dignified roles in Hollywood, especially in his work fighting the stereotypical writing on Good Times. He never backed down & Norman Lear fired him because of it.

Something I don't have to post on Spoutible bc Bouzy doesn't allow the trolls to live here:
Trolls (maybe Russian) are sharing AI photos of blonde, white people and declaring they are the "real Americans."
Arguing w/them only amplifies their hate message. You will never win by arguing. They win.
