Truth Sandwiches: Disinformation

$

I’m sorry that I haven’t posted about the Truth Brigade for months now. Stuff happened. But here we go again. Disinformation is naturally our chief target, although we can’t get into party politics as a 501(c)3 non-profit. For example, I can’t legally paste Truth Brigade graphics into a Boosting Biden message. But I can write Truth Sandwiches about Republican-related chicanery, thus.

Some Christians learn to be better people, but some get much worse, & to demand Who Would Jesus Hate, as in Project 2025. As a Buddhist, I pray for those who follow Jesus as their Lord and Savior devotedly every day of their lives... But make sure never to catch up with Him. pic.twitter.com/gxTN03vET9

We care deeply about our kids' well-being. The mental health crisis is real – so why do some leaders add stress by creating discord & pushing #bookbans? Let’s protect our kids from real harms, like toxic tech & isolation! #TruthBrigadehttps://t.co/TtnEie9edYpic.twitter.com/Hm2tv0AhZr

What happens in my community and schools is OUR business. My neighbors are mostly considerate and caring, not divisive or hateful – how about yours? 1/2 pic.twitter.com/Wp0lGN3azS

Fear mongering is the disinformer's friend, and the enemy of a civil society.#TruthBrigade#DIsinfoBusterhttps://t.co/S3tlC9pj1b

Even if it doesn’t make you angry, it may be worth checking. There was a meme floating around about Donald Trump’s probation officer recently, except it wasn’t. The picture was of an officer of a different name in a different state, and Donald hadn’t even shown up for his first probation interview. There are rumors and outright lies about in the Israel-Hamas-everyone in sight conflict that shouldn’t be repeated. And the usual round of conspiracy theories and bogus moral panics.

The pandemic and its aftermath hit kids really hard. So why are some leaders creating a big panic and blaming schools and library books for these struggles? Real harms to our kids can come from tech platforms, NOT libraries. #TruthBrigadehttps://t.co/BdtNfN9kLGpic.twitter.com/Tvp6fTKzw2

Hearts and minds are not won through argument! Try empathy instead.#TruthBrigadehttps://t.co/txEu0FOBnEpic.twitter.com/eAfl744k2l

I have written here about the role of empathy in deprogramming cultists and rescuing KKK members from the hate they have been taught.
