🪡 **Bottom line: Verify everything. Even seemingly innocent articles about newly discovered plants, insects, or marine life should be authenticated.**🪡🧵 #misinformation #AI #truth #polarization #science

🪡 Science was established SO THAT we can independently verify a scientific theory. Science is freedom.

Regardless of what we believe, we’re surrendering our capacity for independent thought.🪡

🪡 The more we disagree about what constitutes reality, the more malleable our collective thinking becomes.

When our understanding of science and history becomes distorted, we lose our grounding and become vulnerable to authoritarian manipulation.🪡

🪡 These fabricated pieces fall into two categories: seemingly harmless fiction (dangerous because we unconsciously absorb it into our understanding of reality) and obviously consequential lies that directly impact our lives and major decisions.🪡

🪡 During the last month, I’ve observed a sharp increase in completely fabricated articles appearing in targeted algorithmic feeds across various media platforms.🪡

🪡 Throughout that time, I’ve intensified my verification process—checking cited sources, reviewing referenced studies, searching for independent versions using strict scientific methodology, analyzing data take, and reading policy documents until I fully understand them.🪡

🧵🪡 Over the years, I’ve consistently fact-checked articles and noticed a concerning trend: AI is increasingly being used to fabricate complete stories designed to subtly influence readers without their awareness.🪡

And THIS, my friends, is why we should never allow our #SocialSecurity funds to be dependent on the stock market.

Hatred and intolerance have been an instrument used to divide us—throughout the history of humankind—to rob us of our collective power. But, they can only succeed if we turn against each other and let them.

Racism is about power, not skin color.

Whitewashing history is about power, not “white guilt.”

Christian Nationalism is about power, not the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Transphobia is about power, not science.

Excellent, Chad. This drives me crazy, and I have to think it’s intentional when professional journalists do this.

I love it when @joyannreid.bsky.social shakes her head and says “WOW” in response to Trump’s nonsense.

Indeed, ma’am…indeed.

The @WSJ story about @elonmusk’s #DOGE staffer’s resignation is concerning.

Most civilian jobs include checking social media.

Hell, any woman dating in today’s age would’ve found that before even swiping right. Right, @bumble @hinge @Tinder

Oh, so, Idiocracy and THEN Terminator.

What could go wrong?

Republican leaders never wanted to protect women and girls. They shout about “men using women’s restrooms” at our polls while supporting sex offenders, alleged rapists, and then blocking the Gaetz report?

Please. It’s so clear. We cannot let this be a blip in the news cycle, y’all.

Exactly

Oh, Aaron…but Republicans like Nancy Mace just care so much about the safety of women and girls! 🤮

Bwahahaha

This is the best comedy.

Pretending that a fool is not a fool in hopes of endearing oneself to that fool only makes you look foolish.

Case in point:

I’m here, and I guess I have to build this thing back…but better (I made that up just now). #Texas
