Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

Hungary under Orbán was one of the most effective such regimes in the world. Fidesz developed an incredibly sophisticated system for marginalizing the opposition, including controlling 80-90 percent of media. This @kimlanelaw.bsky.social piece has details. www.journalofdemocracy.org/articles/how...

Russia is starting another round of disinformation against French President Macron and his wife Brigitte, which is being pushed by Russian propagandists. The latest disinformation is pushing that the first lady is a man, reminiscent to a previous campaign against Michelle Obama.

This assassination makes the Minnesota house even. I'm waiting for the first Republican Minnesota state legislator to commit to sit out votes until Rep. Hortman is replaced - otherwise Republicans are hugely benefiting from and complicit in this sort of political violence.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.gov

This was a targeted political assassination. Every single Republican needs to condemn this violence before more people end up dead.

One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

While many Canadians are struggling financially, PP is costing us $2M+ for a by-election because he lost his seat. There is something VERY wrong with this1 #NeverPoilievre #NeverCONservatives #Cdnpoli #Canada If the table was turned, he would say no to anyone asking for a by-election.

There's PP on CBC just like nothing has changed at all. He sure gets a lot of air time to vent his b.s. and repeat his tired slogans. "A great life in a beautiful home on a safe street". Voting no to Carney's spending bill claiming it is irresponsible while he lives for free on tax payer's dime.

PM Carney is moving at the speed of business, with the smarts of new age politics, and a will of iron. It’s refreshingly strong, purposeful and different. Change is happening and political nonsense right along with it. The dams of bureaucracy are being broken. Let’s go Canada. 🇨🇦.

Canada we cannot be unaware any longer of the insidious American MAGA narratives at play in our country. They own many of our newspapers, radio shows and even columnists and pundits. Every time you see a headline or hear an argument ask yourself who it ultimately benefits. 🇨🇦 #CanadaSky

This type of purposeful disinformation needs to be PUBLICLY called out by media and by Elections Canada. The Conservative Party accepted the results and know the results are valid. Ask Shereer why they are fundraising in disinformation.

So Danielle has finally emerged from Mar-a-Lago with her MAGA instructions - destroy Canada. Albertans are better than this. Canada is better than this. Mark Carney should give no ground. Not to her. Not to Kevin O'Leary. Not to Trump. www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

This gets papered over as old man yelling at clouds but this is impeachable by itself. Greenland is our ally which has allowed a continual U.S. military presence since WWII, including a vital part of our missile defense and space surveillance. Threatening them is unacceptable.

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

Q: "Would you rule out military force to take Canada?" Trump: "I think we're not going to ever get to that point. Something could happen with Greenland, I'll be honest." Q: "You are not ruling out military force to take Greenland?" Trump: "I don't rule it out."

Gretchen and Gavin could learn something about politicking from Governor Evers. This is how you stand up to a tyrant you let the whole world know we are not afraid. He is not just standing for Wisconsinites-he is doing what the Dems can’t seem to do- Standing up for the country.

Germany’s domestic intelligence agency labeled far-right AfD party an extremist group, easing permission for government surveillance of their actions. The label had already applied to a youth unit within the party. The national-level designation could also lead to the party’s ban.

Just listened to PM Carney’s lay out his plans for Canada. I was impressed, he actually has a plan full of what Canadians are asking for, and it seems also a plan to get it done.
