Related to this I have a well-meaning warning for all:
This is the last time I will be inclined to give someone the benefit of the doubt that they deliberately posted some incendiary mess meaning to get fact checked.
Mean what you say. Say what you mean. Flag your intent appropriately.

A number of posts that are deliberately false are obvious tests of the fact check system. Others include a flag, such as a splashtag reading, FactCheckMePlease.
This has been helpful to readers like me, who take spouts at face value as a default. It has otherwise felt like April Fools Day lately.

Fact checking is still new here.
I, and others, are not set up to think, "is this a sincere post?" when they read something. We all would do well to keep that in mind, particularly when we are discussing topics which, for many, induce trauma response.

Reports from the front line in Ukraine offer a sigh of relief as the ammunition has finally arrived! Where the Russians had advanced a little in the last few weeks, Ukrainians pushed them back with heavy artillery. Breakthroughs are being stopped and push back is happening.
Yay!
Yay!

And they didn't actually care about Monica Lewinsky a bit more than they do Stormy Daniels.
My Flying Car 2020 @Flying2020A lie about a semen stain on a blue dress had these bammas ready to impeach a president. But sexual assault liability (Carroll) and testimony under oath about what appears to have been nonconsensual unprotected sex (Daniels) has THE SAME MFers minimizing, ignoring, dismissing what a woman is saying.04:35 PM - May 07, 2024

Agreed.
It's a timely reminder that if consent has not been enthusiastically and freely given, then it hasn't been given. And even when it has, it can be revoked at any given time.
Assault isn't always brutal. It's often coerced and implied. And that's still wrong.

IMO @IMOSadly what Stormy went through with 45 is no different than what thousands (if not more), women go through daily with sexual predators like 45.02:17 PM - May 07, 2024
Network News media is acting like this type of sexual coercion is something new and rare, it’s NOT!

@tener_duende is providing us all with a recap of today’s testimony. She’s doing it in several threads. Helen, thank you! You are appreciated. I don’t have to go elsewhere!
Helen @tener_duendeFast forward to Oct 2011: Rodriguez told Daniels that a story about her had been published on a celebrity gossip site called The Dirty dot com.12:30 PM - May 07, 2024
She says she never gave the site information, nor had she ever heard about it, and wanted the story taken down.

“We can’t let Ukraine fall because if it does, then there is a significant likelihood that America will have to get into the conflict not simply with our money, but with our servicewomen and servicemen.

ABSOLUTELY. People don't seem to understand he is the nexus of all the horrible things Republicans do.

I hold him singularly responsible for enabling all the rule-breaking norms we have now. Holding up not just Supreme Court Justices, but he was holding up Obama federal judge appointments for years too. He talks through one side of his mouth and then does the other.

I suspect it's that people aren't willing to reward Starbucks because of its hardcore anti-union stance. If they knew the workers were getting a fair shake, they'd be more inclined to shop there.

Starbucks sales are slumping. Is it a bellwether for the economy?
Starbucks shares have plummeted more than 17% in value since the company revealed a sales slump in an earnings report last week. The coffee giant is viewed by many analysts as a bellwether for consumer spending, which accounts for nearly three-quarters of the nation’s economic activity. The..

Hey, fellow white people! Read this excellent thread. Realize Licia is talking about *us* here. Not the MAGAts, not "the bigots" - US.
Licia @LiciaYesterday, while in route to Granny's house, I read a post about a guy whose wife was treating him the way men have treated their wives for centuries. Towards the end he mentioned someone accusing Spoutible of being white centered (the accuracy of it all) and how white people were toxic.09:50 PM - May 05, 2024

For a couple of centuries, white people had the luxury of ignoring the atrocities. I repeat - white people had the LUXURY of ignoring the atrocities. The system had control over ethnic minority and Indigenous voices. You didn't have to see or hear from us.

Not incorrect, but "Based on the sources provided" is weird when no sources are provided by OP or alert.
Also "Bob said dinosaurs loved tacos" gives an alert about whether or not Bob made that claim, without addressing the claim itself; depending on OP wording, that alert can be misinterpreted.

From 1940-1980:
•Wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation
•0 of them left USA
•All remained exceedingly wealthy
•Manufacturing boomed
•AND we also had the strongest middle class growth in US History
Let's do that again. Stop protecting billionaires. Start taxing them.
