Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Amazing

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Dominion Voting Systems sold to company run by former Republican election official Dominion Voting Systems, which sued Fox over its reporting on the 2020 election, has been sold to a seemingly new election company run by a former GOP election official.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

YouTube video by MSNBC SHOCKING video shows ICE shoot Chicago pastor in head with pepper ball

The President of peace.

I don’t care - she’s a pit bull. If she wants to be a pit bull for health care and the Epstein files, let her go.

Are those the plans that were 2 weeks away 9 years ago? Strange she couldn’t get access to those plans.

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

“Every time we have been attacked with pepper bullets or tear gas or pepper spray that I have been present, it has felt like it came from anger that we were there, and not from any determined safety need or protocol,” said Rev. Kardon. “They are unhinged.”

And tie is too close but not close enough. Makes it worse.

It’s extremely disturbing to see these guys who look like they have been champing at the bit to hit/pepper spray/manhandle a person smaller or less powerful than them (usually a woman).

Trump said that he wants a shutdown so that he can get rid of programs the Democrats like and fire Democrats working for the government on three separate occasions today:

This will be devastating

And after taking negotiations as seriously as that (staged) photo demonstrates, he is now bragging about putting more people out of work and taking more of our tax paid services away from us.

I thought NYT did surprisingly well:

My favorite

In light of where our democracy stands now - I’ve been thinking a lot about this random group of people thrown together to make a terrible and heroic choice for their country. The last paragraph of this letter from HCR hit hard.

With no arms or head

I think the power of women is recognized, however subconsciously, and deeply feared. I think that’s the problem.

Did it occur to you guys to mention the $10 million?

“I’m a big strong man” is fewer words.

And “important”

I was super excited about the new pics today too 💜
