We’re getting tons of retrospective analysis of COVID policies: masks, closures, comms failures,etc. But the other side of the “loss of trust in institutions” was a *deliberate effort* — by antivaxxers & right-wing influencers — to intentionally erode confidence in public health. No reckoning there. RE:

The same liars who spread the Big Lie are taking it international to help their “civilizational allies”. *Prosecution* of the coup-attempting president has become “persecution”. The bullshit “censorship” frame has always been part of a propaganda campaign by transnational far-right authoritarians. https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreib462j5naovwimrz2inaiwzh3eiyfnpsa35226cbowldufbphfruu https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreie5ysdmkiofnltd55nxmub7so7fyckpewavsgkgcpckvkmirhp3aa
Sen John Cornyn was on SSCI when the Russian interference investigation was underway and the Senate report was released and knows better than this. I answered questions from him in a public hearing. All of them have now fully bent the knee to MAGA bullshit. Here is John Cornyn in 2018. RE:

You may think she’s just an idiot, but her shamelessness is absolutely intentional. She wants to make this equivalence, to undermine J6 arguments further. “THEY actually did it first.” RE:

The Woke AI EO seems sufficiently vague enough to allow the federal govt to procure whatever it wants from whomever it wants. Q is which companies benefit..

This happened to me yesterday on the exact same topic. Indian outlet, likely AI generated article. “Prediction Junction”. This guy never reached out to me, I never gave this quote, and the source URL it links to breaks. Also SIO doesn’t exist anymore — I wouldn’t have used it as an affiliation. 🤷🏻‍♀️ RE:

Conspiracy theorists used to believe themselves to be a small group possessed of secret knowledge. A little over a decade ago many started to see themselves as vox populi. In the age of social media it tilts in that direction because of majority illusion. [arstechnica.com/science/2025...](
