tobie@anneapplebaum Fascinating. I wasn't aware of Code Pink's about-face on China. How disturbing that it now defends the internment of Uyghurs.
SpicewallaIn the last few years a lot of so-called progressives have been revealed to care less about progressive values and more about anti-americanism. Its really disappointing.
@Spicewalla @anneapplebaum Agree. The fact that we've revised the term "tankies" is telling.
Matt@anneapplebaum the only team that’s standing on the sidelines of information warfare is Team Democracy https://mstdn.social/@matthewburton/109509500447217080

And if you want to fight disinformation for real, you can do so by donating to a nonprofit organization called We Defend Truth. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/wedefendtruth

Sandhu@anneapplebaum I know it’s not easy with 1st amendment and all but feel like our intel system should be doing better with these fucking guys in Russian and Chinese orbits.
Jerry Goff@anneapplebaum Hi Anne, From reading your books I'm starting to see some parallels in the intellects of President Xi and General Sec Stalin. They both brought their respective countries and people to ruin by doggedly pursuing flawed economic policies. Of course Putin is cognitively deficient and using their playbooks.
