Telling people to use WhatsApp over Signal, or in conjunction with Signal, is stupid.

PLEASE do not use ANYTHING owned by Meta for resistance work.

I promise you, whatever excuse or reason you're thinking of does NOT matter. You are not safe using Meta products. Period.

So I'm watching All the Presidents Men on HBO Max. There's an ad break. The third ad, during each break, is from an organization called "Responsible Choices Coalition" praising our dictator.

The ad looks so over the top that I thought it was fake. It's not.

In it, Lord Goldomort is thanked for "saving vaping."

This is a campaign ad running to make Trump look good at a time where his polling is at historically bad levels.

Keep your head on a swivel.

There's propaganda everywhere.

This week we're joined by Harvey J. Kaye, author of Thomas Paine and The Promise of America, who talks about Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's recent interest in Thomas Paine, how one pamphlet changed the reason for the American Revolution, and the importance of the Founding Father religious zealots and billionaires want you to forget about.

If you want a reminder of the power of journalism — and the embarrassment to humanity that is Jeff Bezos — All the President's Men leaves HBO Max on May 31.

Go watch it.
