    A major goal of modern propaganda is to make the targets despair of ever being able to find the truth. When the CDC retracts advice like this, time after time and without explanation, it's even more damaging than concealing information. It undermines public trust more broadly.

    A few days ago updated its guidance to reflect the growing consensus that coronavirus can spread “through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols”. This morning, its now saying that was “posted in error” and has been taken down. 🤔

    So the AG Mitch McConnell groomed & mentored is going to clear the LMPD officers in Breonna Taylor’s murder right before an election & while tensions are high with SCOTUS. This sounds like the match they’ll use to spark marshal law.

    I'm here and trying to find the focus to write as the world is on fire. I know that my talent & voice are important but still hard to find motivation some days. Today is a pretty good day though.

    Miss Manners is not a fan of tipping—she prefers that employers pay staff a living wage. But recognizing that it exists, she feels it would be gracious to apply the more generous rules for in-person dining to curbside pickup, as thanks to those working under trying conditions.

    LOL

    A head shot of Tim Pool and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) next to each other. AOC's eyes have been replaced by blue lasers. Behind them money falls and behind that is an American flag with its hue adjusted. A white Youtube play button has also been added in the middle of the flag.
    Over the past 2 years, Tim Pool has made at least 167 videos about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In February, June and July 2019 he made a video about her almost every other day.

    COVID deaths are expected to double by January — but in about half of the time it took to get here. That’s double the death rate that carried us to this abysmal place. Also this article is from two weeks ago, and I missed it. Anyone else?

    White people, not only is your “setting aside differences” with bigoted white conservatives you’re friends with not heartwarming/aspirational. It’s harmful. It’s a huge reason for this current moment. Your failure to hold each other accountable re: bigotry has stoked all of this.

    The PM must intervene to uphold the legal right — a constitutional right — of the Mi'kmaq to fish & make a living The escalation of tension is a direct result of the government’s inaction, it’s time to step up & show with actions that they respect the rights of Indigenous people

    Today I spoke with Prime Minister about the upcoming Speech from the Throne and highlighted the emerging crisis in Nova Scotia. Minister has neglected to adequately respond to the safety & Treaty rights of Mi’kmaq people. My letter here:

    On Thursday, Trump railed against "left-wing indoctrination" in U.S. schools, calling the work of historians like Howard Zinn "propaganda tracts." "We should be honest with young people," Zinn told in 2009. "We should be honest about the history of our country."
