Fact-checking is a great way to counter disinformation, right? Sasha Issenberg, author of “The Victory Lab” and “The Lie Detectives,” says that’s not necessarily the case. In this fascinating, important interview, Aaron Sankin of @themarkup talks to Issenberg about the new media and political landscape and how narratives are shaped in 2024.
Today is the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landing at #Normandy, #France, where ~160k #Allied troops pulled off the largest invasion by sea in history. From that point on #America was in charge of #AlliedForces & it was the beginning of the end of #WWII
#DonaldTrump knew EXACTLY what the historical significance of the term "#AmericaFirst" was the moment he started saying it, knowing FULL WELL the #AmericaFirstCommittee was the name of the #RightWing#isolationist movement. He is one of those that happen to be more than just a little bit taken w/ that #strongman fella from Germany.
What Donald Trump’s Criminal Trial Reveals About a Potential Second #Trump Administration
The latest trial revealed a lot about how Trump went about running his company and the presidency — and provided hints of how that might play out in a second Trump administration.
I had a student who was chewed up by the justice system in NYC— he was in my calc III class at the CC — and he could have gone on to a 4 year school with a scholarship— but that was not to be it’s a very nasty and remorseless system and I have no sympathy for someone who has only seen the concierge in kid gloves version.
Our justice system screws up with the innocent.
Our justice system abuses the guilty far beyond that which they are ostensibly sentenced.
And so my patience is rather thin for those whom it has gone out of its way, far beyond any standards of decency or justice, who can only now cry foul.

Kerry King still has plenty of rage, and here he reveals his most current boiling point and a long-running subject that has kept him pissed for years.
#Fox contributor: President #Biden put on the table #border solutions, #Republicans agreed with him and then walked away for political reasons. He should remind people that Republicans walked away to help #DonaldTrump
This is absurd. Why should anyone be surprised or troubled by the fact that #convictedFelons are no longer able to possess #firearms? This isn't new. It's not some attack on #Trump, or any other #felons. It's long-established protocol everywhere in the #UnitedStates. These schmucks are acting like it's some unprecedented assault on #DonaldTrump. Like, get over it. Dude's a #felon. He lost his #SecondAmendment rights, just like any felon would.
