"The rise of the brosphere, the manosphere, was a funded effort. It did not come out of left field. You know, you have... the Kochs and other very special, large special interests and very, very wealthy interests who are funding these. So it's not organic. No, it's not organic."

This is How Big Tech Radicalized America and Helped Trump Become President
Filmmaker Alex Winter joins The Left Hook to discuss how right-wing media and big tech have monetized disinformation to radicalize Americans, spread confusion, and ultimately help Trump win.THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali (The Left Hook with Wajahat Ali)
"Journalists are first, but everyone else is next. Trump has announced multibillion-dollar lawsuits against “the enemy camp”: newspapers and publishers. His proposed FBI director is on record as wanting to prosecute certain journalists. Journalists, publishers, writers, academics are always in the first wave. Doctors, teachers, accountants will be next. Authoritarianism is as predictable as a Swiss train. It’s already later than you think."

How to survive the broligarchy: 20 lessons for the post-truth world

"'This [i.e., Trump's election] is a big win for Christians, for evangelicals,' [Franklin Graham] says. 'We believe the president will defend religious freedom where the Democrats would not.'
The selection of Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel is already a hint that faith might shape some foreign policy. US evangelicals including Huckabee are among the country’s most fervent supporters of Israel."

"Palestinian groups and leftwing NGOs in Israel have been shocked by Trump’s appointment of outspoken supporters of the projects of far-right Israeli activists and say the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has been emboldened by Trump’s victory."
Maybe this article can be picked up by newspapers serving the Palestinian communities in places like Michigan, where many voters "punished" Harris by voting for Trump? They're now finding out….

"Rightwing settlers and extremist nationalist Zionists in Israel have described top officials in Donald Trump’s new administration as a 'dream team' which will offer a 'unique and special opportunity' to expand Israel’s hold on occupied territory and permanently end any prospect of a Palestinian state."

For those of us foreseeing that "things are going to get very bad," Sherrilynn Ifill offers some valuable pragmatic tips about surviving:
"• Save some cash. And keep enough in the house for gas and food for a week.
• Let yourself imagine what you would do if you lost your job in terms of finding new employment, paying rent/mortgage for several months, and start building what you need to be able to meet that moment if it comes."

Something a little different for this week’s article - a guide to the Twitter/X exodus from a disability and chronic illness point of view.
People are leaving the site in droves - whether because of changing privacy and data policies or in protest of Musk and Trump’s increasingly fascist and problematic behaviour.
What happens to the disability community who’ve long relied on that app for support, friendship and connection? People who are sick can’t migrate to a new platform as easily as their non-disabled counterparts.
How can we help people find community elsewhere? How can we ensure the transition takes as few spoons as possible?
Most importantly - how can we ensure no one gets left behind?

The Xitter Exodus and What it Means for the Disability Community
Disabled and chronically ill people have long used Twitter/X for community, fundraising, companionship and support. With folks leaving in droves - where will we go and how can we stick together?Broadwaybabyto (The Disabled Ginger)
There is plenty of blame to go around for another election cycle riddled with misinformation online. Big Tech is still unwilling to hold bad actors accountable, Congress is unwilling to step in and write new rules for the 21st century, and Republicans will continue to slander and lie to voters to make their case. Because of all of this, Democrats lose, and we need to acknowledge this reality and figure out new ways to communicate with voters on today’s internet.

For some reason people fleeing the sinking #Twitter / #X ship for #BlueSky don't seem to be aware of the fact that crypto bros at #BlockchainCapital bought a huge stake in the company just a few weeks ago. Like these are basically the same crypto bros who just helped #ElonMusk buy Twitter. They might even be literally the same people (I strongly suspect they are but I'm too lazy to check). Either way #BlockchainCapital was co-founded by #BrockPierce, who also brought you #Tether, AKA the company that Trump's transition team chairman manages $120 billion for. Pierce is also a friend of the #Netanyahu family.
You don't have to take my word for it. Here's the official press release: bsky.social/about/blog/10-24-2…
Moving to BlueSky is not an escape. Growing a base there is just putting in a bunch of work to create a platform that will be co-opted by crypto bros as soon as X breaks in half.

Welcome to Idiocracy 1.0. It has begun.
Creepy how the world is becoming increasingly idiotic to the point of not knowing what to say about it anymore.
Pretty much all political options people are "offered" are fucked up. A choice between fast and steady decline or faster and more abrupt decline. Now the second is happening.
This world is a joke.
I will continue to do my work for TROM and try to keep myself saner. What else can I do...
In a world gone mad:
#ElonMusk, a close adviser to #Trump, met w/ #Iran’s ambassador to the #UN on Monday in NY in a session that 2 Iranian ofcls described as a discussion of how to defuse tensions between Iran & the #US.
The Iranians said the meeting between #Musk & Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani lasted more than an hour & was held at a secret location. The Iranians described the meeting as “positive” & “good news.”

>> Criminal #Trump nominates monstrous #Gaetz to oversee criminal justice in America.
We can call it Trump's #viceSignaling, which is the exact opposite of #Biden's #virtueSignaling that had led him to make #Garland "whole" by appointing him as AG because #Republicans had stolen the latter's #SCOTUS seat.
Now Trump signals to his constituents that rape — whether statutory with underage kids, or otherwise — is just fine, and the DOJ won't prosecute them.

The takes about 2024 that I agree with or that validate my priors are also bullshit.
#Trump won on disinformation validated by horserace journalism that treats facts as points of controversy.
He won on an imaginary depression, an imaginary crime wave and imaginary hordes of undocumented immigrants pouring over the border.
It wasn't Gaza or Dems using pronouns or refusing to say "illegal aliens" or Harris reaching out to Republicans or any of the rest.

Well, great. Full-fat fascism it is, then. Trump will basically get to do whatever the fuck he wants for the next four years (and maybe for as long as he lives).
