>> What Zuckerberg's capitulation means for the truth and our democracy

> "... Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads, will no longer fact-check user posts on its platforms..."

Instead he's going to do like Elon in #Muskville, and let #truth be crowd-sourced. A far cry from 'responsible" press enjoying 'free speech'.w/ #Truth

>" It’s about to get very ugly out there."

A whole lot of #truth here, about #cult belief & the power of #disinformation #media vs. #woke #mindfulness
 Cartoon by Mike Luckovich...

A pictorial/cartoon depicting the "GULF OF AMERICA"

On one side of a body of water is a mass with a banner labeling them "INFORMED VOTERS".

Across the water is another mass of people, with a banner labeling them as "UNINFORMED VOTERS".

Sad #truth - as #history - like #fascism elsewhere, with #propaganda and #doublespeak the only ‘official’ “news” - repeats. Sir #TrumpVirus has learned from history, but his #cult & our #media, not so much. :-(

#democracy #fascism #inauguration
Cartoon by Chan Lowe (2016)

Captioned "Inauguration Day", Sir Trump is standing at a podium, being sworn in to office, Capitol behind him, Melania next to him.  As Trump extends his arm outward, fingers straight, in an exact imitation of Hitler's famous gesture, he is told, 
"NO... YOUR HAND GOES ON THE *BIBLE*."


Someone called #Mastodon the #Linux of social media but really Linux is the Mastodon of operating systems.

#Truth


"As for the moral reputation of the West, it was definitely crushed in 2024, destroyed by events in #Gaza - the open #genocide of #Palestinians by #Israel is not condemned by most Western governments, which actually nullifies all their pathos about #Russian crimes in #Ukraine and calls to stop the aggressor."
- well, I see it similarly - the unbiased view is not very common, because every view is the view of individuals with their #subjective partial interests, and even some effort for unbiased and #objective search for truth is limited by one's own psyche, and then also by the latent information limitations, when it is difficult to have an accurate overview of absolutely all the details of a given situation. So only a hypothetical good #God can have an absolutly objective view, but unfortunately he does not publish in the daily press :-)

« The strength of a person’s spirit would then be measured by how much ‘truth’ he could tolerate, or more precisely, to what extent he needs to have it diluted, disguised, sweetened, muted, falsified. »

#Cartoon of the Day:
**Holiday Disaster averted... for now.**

But that demon elf on the shelf watches and controls the #media / #disinformation in #Muskville and beyond:

President #MuskVirus - powered by #TrumpVIrus and enabled by lack of any constraints or allegiance to #reality / #truth
Cartoon by Deering:
A family is sitting on a sofa looking blankly straight ahead (at TV?)

Behind them on the wall, above, is a shelf.
The "elf on the shelf" is clearly Elon Musk, holding up a sign:
"GOVERNMENT Shutdown"

And a bigger sign is the cartoon title, and label for the Elon elf:
"ELON the unelected ELF on EVERYBODY'S SHELF"


#Truth in #media. - on ABC bending the knee for #TrumpVirus intimidation and #disinformation - their new standard?

Dan Rather:

>> Is Trump Really Calling the Shots?

https://open.substack.com/pub/steady/p/is-trump-really-calling-the-shots

"Just when you think it can’t get weirder or more dysfunctional …_"

So, just who is calling the shots/pulling the strings? ( #Elon? #Putin ? #Project2025 ? #Brainspurs on steroids?)

A fair and important question.

Anyone remember long ago - in the days before #MuskVirus - when Sir "danced" with air?

And feeds the green earth with its swift decay,
Leaving it richer for the growth of truth. »

Learning to think critically and discern truth from lies is an important life skill, but many people don’t harness the ability, nor take the time. They believe whatever they hear, see, and read because someone, somewhere, said so. While most of the time, it flies without harm, but many times it can be harmful or outright dangerous.

Ok but a 3rd party has never won an election because Republicans "get in line" behind a candidate.

#Democrats can't ignore racist voters. You have to fool them enough to get their votes.

#Biden understood this #truth about the #UnitedStates electorate.

It's THE REASON Biden has won the most elections of any candidates in modern #history.

[video] US festival of #Thanksgiving, a #DayOfMourning for the #Wampanoag people

By: Fraser Jackson, France24
11/23/2023

"This Thursday marks Thanksgiving in the United States, a festival so deeply rooted in American tradition that it's more widely celebrated than Christmas. Thanksgiving commemorates the convivial sharing of a meal between the first English pilgrims to land on the shores of present-day Massachusetts in 1620 and the Wampanoag tribe, the local inhabitants. That's the story taught in school, but for the #NativeAmericans, Thanksgiving is in fact a day of mourning. Our correspondents Fanny Allard and Fraser Jackson report."

The US being an active participant in carrying out Genocide is not neutral, is not objective, is biased , the problem , and accordingly should be excluded from having a vote regarding any UN resolutions regarding any ceasefire of the the conflict it is engaged in .

More #TrumpVirus #Truth ...

As the Mayor of #Muskville tries to endear himself while enjoying the COSPLAY & #RealityTV #disinfomation that their own #media propagates. Sad.

Some nice capturing of personality and reality here, IMHO.
This is a 6-frame, dense-packed panel cartoon by Tom Tomorrow.
Cannot fit all, sorry. 

Synopsis: Mayor Musk is glowing with excitement over his brilliant DOGE acronym for his department to take over the treasury intends to do. 

1ST FRAME: 
Musk: "I'M HERE IN MAR-A-LAGO TO HELP ANY WAY I CAN!"
Trump (who looks like a bulked-up orange HULK): 
"YES, TRUMP KNOW. YOU SEEM TO LIVE HERE NOW."
2:
Sir StableGenius, bulked up and looking like an orange hulk, says:
"TRUMP HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE TAKING ABOUT."
3:
TRUMP: "BUT TRUMP MAKE YOU CO-CHAIR... ALONG WITH FELLOW BOOTLICKER VIVEK RAMASWAMY! KEEP YOU BOTH BUSY!.... NOTHING SAYS 'EFFICIENCY' LIKE DEPARTMENT WITH TWO LEADERS!"

4:
Musk -  morphed into Trump's Defense Dept head pick, revealing his tattoo:  "STANDING BACK AND STANDING BY, SIR!"

TRUMP: "TRUMP ALSO NEED ATTORNEY GENERAL--"

5: Behind a screeching (open-mouthed) Trump is Gaetz, and behind him, RFK Jr 

TRUMP:  .... "SOMEONE WHO WILL LET TRUMP WIPE ASS WITH THE *ACTUAL CONSTITUTION!*   
SO OBVIOUSLY TRUMP SELECT MATT GAETZ

Gaetz thanks Sir for "some very outside-the-box thinking".

TRUMP: "HA! HA! TRUMP ASO PUT ANTI-VAX GUY IN CHARGE OF H.H.S. *TRUMP OWN THE LIBS SO HARD!*

6th (Final) Frame -

Left to right: Musk, Gaetz, RFKJ & Sir 

TRUMP: "OKAY TRUMP TIRED NOW. TRUMP WANT TO WATCH TV AND TAKE NAP."

MUSK: "WOULD YOU LIKE *FIRST BUDDY* TO FLUFF YOUR PILLOW, SIR?"

TRUMP: 
" *GAH!*  DON'T YOU HAVE COMPANIES TO RUN, LEON? "

MUSK: "ELON, SIR."

TRUMP: "WHATEVER."
