THREADETTE: Something just dawned on me. You don't see any left-leaning anonymous (or named!) Twitter folks doing investigation of primary source documents, while several on the right do that & expose much otherwise missed. Left can rely on Fake News narratives pushed by MSM. 1/
2/ Knowing the legacy media won't research, you see lawyers putting out the source documents, such as @JohnWHuber @Techno_Fog and @15poundstogo and former intel folks such as @JennaNeen @MikayesFiona doing same. They spend hundreds of hours doing the work of Pulitzers.
3/ And @nick_weil team who puts together all of that work. These folks may well have saved @realDonaldTrump from the lies being peddled because they are in essence the best research team alternative media could ask for. I try to give credit where do, so here's a global 👏👏👏
4/4 And FTR: While I do know the actual identities and credentials of some of the above, my motto from day one on Twitter has been "distrust and verify." So I've always pulled the original source material, researched myself, and rendered my own conclusions. END

Was studying @mtaibbi & @thackerpd recent piece on CCDH's attack on free speech under guise of combating disinformation & noticed of attendings to invite-only conference they referenced were four distinct abortion groups. 1/
2/ So very telling & necessary for pro-aborts to control speech so they can continue to lie about a) state referendums which guarantee abortion till birth; b) women w/ miscarriages dying post-Roe; c) post-viability abortions on healthy babies/moms don't happen;
3/ d) that abortion pill is safe; e) when human life begins. List here: disinformationchronicle.substack.com/p/election-exc…

THREADETTE: I knew in early days of COVID that government & Fauci were lying to us for simple reason that I had previously researched mask protection. As backdrop, our son has cystic fibrosis. About 8ish years ago, the CF Foundation updated Center guidelines to require CFers to wear masks. 1/
2/ CF Foundation "certifies" Centers & thus compliance by Centers is very important to get stamp of approval. As further background, CFers are susceptible to colonizing bacteria in their longs & most dangerous ones are spread from one CFer to another. They also cough a lot.
3/ So recommendation was to use masks in medical settings to avoid cross-infection. After recommendation came out, we asked on guidance for masks but kept getting different answers so I just researched it myself & answer was only n95 mask really served purpose.

🧵on self-righteous folks announcing departure of X. First, I highlight doubt it will stick. Rather, they'll do what Jen Rubin has done which is announcing they aren't "communicating" here and only promoting work. Beyond being hilariously cowardly, oh, I'd leave completely but 1/
2/ I need this platform to promote my work; they can't quit X. See e.g. Or they'll come back.
3/ Second, thinking of leaving X will turn X into echo chamber which will destroy X won't happen for 2 reasons: 1) would require every legacy outlet/left-of-center new media to leave & business models won't let that happen; 2) would require normal folks to leave & they won't.

Quick follow-up story related to suggestion: Growing up, my dad taught auto mechanics at technical school. At my 10 year high school reunion, classmate I knew only by name approached me. Remember him as not much of student but seemed decent enough guy. 1/
2/ Barry asked how my dad was doing. Caught me off guard & then he explained he had received his associates degree taking my dad's various auto mechanic classes & that my dad had then helped him score a great job at local dealership.
3/ These are meaningful jobs, for decent Americans. And this reminds me of story my mom told me years later: One of my dad's students was going to need to drop out of program b/c he couldn't afford tuition. My dad would later excitedly tell him he found a scholarship for him.

This piece by @MZHemingway is fascinating in so many ways and such a necessary "living history" reminder of what Tapper & other Russia collusion hoaxers did. What I found most fascinating, though is how Tapper-Sciutto exchange provided her confirmation.1/ thefederalist.com/2024/10/29/jak…
2/ I say this because I so "get" it. Early on during SpyGate, I continued to take it all "serious." And Mollie regularly would call B.S. weeks before stories were proven B.S. The Nunes released his memo & my background as ~25 federal appellate clerk provided me a similar moment.
3/ What the Tapper-Sciutto exchange confirmed to Mollie, the Nunes memo confirmed for me. Note: As Mollie said she was skeptical because she knew Trump voters. I (sadly & remorsefully) had been Never Trump & mocked the Trump voters I knew. (Don't @ me, see "sadly & remorsefully")

🚨🚨🚨THREAD: After waiting on @JocelynBenson press office for comment/clarification/sourcing, which was not forthcoming, here is result of my investigation. Let's be clear: @elonmusk was right here and @JocelynBenson is spreading dangerous disinformation. 1/
2/ First let me start by saying I emailed personal email addresses for press people, which I had from earlier media inquiry, so they got my message. Second, I'll add I started this hunt after seeing @TomFitton fact check of Benson here.
@TomFitton 3/ I could tell, though, where Tom got his figures from or Benson for that matter so wanted to research myself. First point: Community Notes is wrong: There are not 7.9 million is voting age citizens in Michigan. @elonmusk
was correct. That 7.9 is voting age "residents" of MI.
