“It’s completely exhausting to try to keep up w/ so much of his ignorance & racism for Native people…He needs to be ignored”—@RepDebHaaland just succinctly explained BOTH how propaganda works to flood our info space AND what to do—ignore it. Don’t engage. Floodgates closed!👍🙏
@RepDebHaaland Reminder on how propaganda works and the threat posed by propagandists essentially weaponizing free speech—deliberately—to drown us in a flood of false, unnerving, disorienting, distracting information. Trump uses Russia's "firehose of falsehood" tactics. rand.org/pubs/perspecti… 
@RepDebHaaland 🚨Putin guru Surkov gloats about propaganda's power: "Foreign politicians ascribe to Russia interference in elections and referendums across the globe. In fact, it's even more serious—Russia interferes in their brains, alters their consciousness"—IE, helpless to Russia's choices!
Good THREAD on Putin adviser Surkov's propaganda post—a psyop in itself—imho. Gotta wonder, would the Kremlin need to boast so loudly about Russia's foreign election conquests if their information warfare successes were actually yielding tangible successes for Russians?🤔
