there's a definite debilitating cognitive effect going on where #russia is messing with elections in #georgia (the country)
and russia is messing with elections in georgia (the state):

and i am having trouble parsing the news
i'm certain some #FSB goons somewhere are trying to figure out how to weaponize that confusion, since that's the whole point of the #firehoseoffalsehood
U.S. officials a video purporting to show Haitians claiming that they illegally voted for Kamala Harris in Georgia is fake and part of a Russian influence campaign.
i was trying to be generous
but yes, #facebook and #twitter are ground zero for the destruction of #american #democracy via #rightwing #lies, #russian #trollfarm, and assorted #firehoseoffalsehood #disinfo and #psyop
Seeing the glut of anguish and disinformation generated by so much of the so-called "news" these days, I again want to point folks to a stunning and informative book by @Teri_Kanefield.
"A Firehose of Falsehood" was released in February, and really is a must read for everyone. People need to understand how disinformation is being used in our information ecosystem to keep people enraged for profit. Not only that, they need to understand how to break the cycle and get to the truth of what's happening.
I wrote about the book on its release date (and had already written about it in August last year). Please read Teri's book. It'll help.

So now that everyone knows what kinds of tactics Peter Dutton is willing to resort to in order to win a national poll, what are progressives doing to prepare for this happening at the next national #election?
“On Fox News, Tucker Carlson harps on this theme night after night. In the House, vocal McCarthy supporter Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has decried “the neo-Nazis in Ukraine,” blustered, after the G.O.P. won the House in November, that “not another penny” would go to their cause.”
Maybe, just maybe, there should be pushback against the screaming propagandists? Silly idea, huh, but who knows, it might help?
