Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter gives him direct access to tens of millions of brains, and he is making a zealous public effort to change and control those brains by flooding them with hate and misinformation. georgelakoff.substack.com/p/algorithm-wa…

He creating an echo chamber that forces everyone to engage the extreme conservative ideas in order to make such ideas seem mainstream. He’s shifting the discourse to favor election deniers, racists and insurrectionists …turning Twitter into a social media version of Fox.

Musk has become Twitter’s dictator, changing the rules to suit his whims, banning accounts he doesn’t like with much of a rationale. He has vast control over what we hear/see on this powerful media platform. He’s a powerful new weapon in the conservative communications arsenal.

But Twitter only has power because we — collectively — give it power. How we use this collective power to respond strategically to the ongoing conservative information war — a battle for the control of our brains — will determine the course of the future.

Starting April 15, only Blue Check Mark accounts will show in the "For You" feed. This means your friends will be harder to find, and your friends will find it harder to find you. Unless you pay Elmo for a Blue Check.

.Chris Hayes: “This idea that danger lurks behind every corner and the child who rang your doorbell is obviously there to murder you—this is the implicit, and sometimes explicit, message that plays constantly in right wing circles.”

All In with Chris Hayes Chris Hayes I posted this on Spoutible last night. I then turned on All In with Chris Hayes and was thrilled to see Chris Hayes making essentially the same point. This point cannot be made strongly enough. The culture of gun worship is killing us. spoutible.com/YoungMindSpouts
