D'Angelo | AllPeePYo, have you noticed that digital barcode Threads puts on your IG profile? Meta is straight-up saying we're all just data entries in their eyes. It's been going on, but damn, they're getting bolder. #BlackMastodon

In the 1910s my grandparents and great-aunts and great- uncles were born in a state of fugitivity, as their families fled a genocide against our people in Mexico. To strengthen the Yaqui Nation, they, along with others, established a community called Old Pascua in Tucson, Arizona, and continued in privacy our ancestral religion and mother tongue, hiak noki. Yesterday, to prevent urban encroachment, the Senate passed the Old Pascua Community Land Acquisition Act. #yaqui #tribalsovereignty #pascuayaquitribe #indigenousknowledge Congratulations to everyone who helped support this effort. #ancestralwillpower
Miguel Afonso Caetano#SocialMedia #Facebook #Misinformation #Disinformation: "We went big, collecting more than 13 million Facebook image posts from August through October 2020, from 25,000 pages and public groups. Audiences on Facebook are so concentrated that these pages and groups account for at least 94% of all engagement – likes, shares, reactions – for political image posts. We used facial recognition to identify public figures, and we tracked reposted images. We then classified large, random draws of images in our sample, as well as the most frequently reposted images.
Overall, our findings are grim: 23% of image posts in our data contained misinformation. Consistent with previous work, we found that misinformation was unequally distributed along partisan lines. While only 5% of left-leaning posts contained misinformation, 39% of right-leaning posts did.
The misinformation we found on Facebook was highly repetitive and often simple. While there were plenty of images doctored in a misleading way, these were outnumbered by memes with misleading text, screenshots of fake posts from other platforms, or posts that took unaltered images and misrepresented them."
Visual misinformation is widespread on Facebook – and often undercounted by researchers
The flood of misinformation on social media could actually be worse than many researchers have reported. The problem is that many studies analyzed only text, leaving visual misinformation uncounted.

After I announced that we lost 1k subscribers, merely for posting a story about a trans activist in Ukraine, you rushed in to close the gap.
We're now halfway to our previous peak.

LukefromDCDrenching rain can't stop huge "We the People" march against DeSantis
On the 2nd of July, a massive crowd gathered in Ft Lauderdale, FL to march against FL Governor DeSantis's vile and hateful new laws that went into effect the previous day.
Thoughout the entire event, there was no visble sign of the "Vice City Proud Boys, known for protesting similar events in the past. Possibly they are too busy fighting each other after the Oregon City battle between Proud Boys and other Nazis? The only visisble right-wingers were three "Second Amendment activists." One of them turned out to be a known Proud Boy, but was hiding his colors.
Theae three were unable to start a fight because too many agreed with them on the gun issue. One person even told them "AR-15's are indeed weapons of war-and people fear that's exactly why we need them! They had T-shirts, one flag, and two camera people. Gun controllers say "assault weapons are for war" and millions fear needing them for exactly that with the brewing genocide first of trans people, then the rest of the LGBTQ+ community.
Drenching rains opened up just before the start of the march, but very few people left. Rain or shine the march went on, as DeSantis is drenching the state in hate and religious bigotry and extremism.
If this evil man becomes President of the US, he will do all he can to "Florida your New York, your California, your DC etc! The violent and genocidal anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-migrant legislation will then be presented to a probable GOP Congress and if it passes the whole so-called United States will be plunged into religious conflict and hate.
Chuck@mu @grueproof yes! This has been such a big part of the problem. This land was successfully human managed to *prevent* these mega fires for hundreds of years before we turned up and decided to "manage" it unsuccessfully by trying to completely prevent burns. Now we've spent over 100 years creating a giant tinder box that all wants to go up at once.
