It's abundantly clear that in his second term Trump & Company are actively going to use the government to intimidate and suppress any celebrity or media figure or organization they don't like into silence regarding him or his minions or the activities or policies of his administration. It's literally Viktor Orban's playbook, and it worked for him in Hungary brilliantly, and it has a great chance of working here as well.

Social Media is going to be the death of us all eventually. It spreads lies and disinformation and propaganda faster than the truth can catch up to it. And as the technology improves it's only going to get worse, not better.

We were in a Lyft today and my wife spotted near the end of the ride that the driver was listening on his ear buds to a youtube video that was entitled the Secret Execution of the Traitor Mark Milley. That optional tip quickly dissapeared.

The TikTok ban is exposing a lot of Chinese Anti-American propaganda (that is a lot like Soviet propaganda in that it is not without fertile ground for critiquing the inequities of capitalism but can’t help but bend far over into pro-authoritarian propaganda).

Prior Washington Post tagline: “Democracy Dies in Darkness”

New Washington Post tagline: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”

The Washington Post’s New Mission: Reach ‘All of America’

This week, The Post began trying out a new mission statement: “Riveting Storytelling for All of America.”
