This is correct. It was started by the American Family Association in the early 2000s as completely unsupported anti-Islamic bullshit, and was abetted by credulous bootlicker pundits all over network TV. It should never be treated as anything but the bad faith trash it always was
Here’s a related page by the great @KimLaCapria on just that. Relatedly, the AFA subsidiary “One Million Moms” appears to be fewer than 10k. So why are they affecting any policies at all? truthorfiction.com/how-many-moms-…
(Their relationship to the AFA and its history is in the story and the links are to supporting evidence)
Apparently the roots are in — who woulda thought it — antisemitism. Fucking typical

Yep. But not just the Kremlin. It’s a free-for-all out there and our data is being used to widen those social cracks. Embracing diversity is not just a feel-good California hippie concept anymore. It never really was. But now it’s a matter of national security for many countries.
Americans have to understand creating a truly egalitarian society with opportunities for all is in our best interest as a country — and for the world. We’ve lived under division, austerity, and hypermilitarization for so long we’ve forgotten what hope looks like.
During my time at Snopes and now at Truth or Fiction the greatest volume of stories to debunk are also the most corrosive ones, playing on bigotry and xenophobia and misogyny, because our two weakest points here are our unexamined legacies of colonization and patriarchal norms.

These are the people disinformation is targeting to try to push them into violence using corrosive rhetoric, and it easily finds them via social media algorithms.
"In another Dec. 9 case, Franklin was charged with assault in connection to an incident at a Des Moines convenience store.
Police said she used racist terms against a clerk and customers and threw items at the employee."
You think her Facebook account (or shadow profile, if she doesn't have an account) isn't picking up on this and filling her timeline and targeted ads with a bunch of paranoid shit?

What do you think those seven dwarves were supposed to be? You know, the ones in the story where they're protecting a lady named... oh wow this is awkward
And vampires, the ones who drink blood and are banished by crosses? I'm sure that's just a coincidence though lol

WOW-Great question @QDQANON

Disney involvement/corruption is a HARD PILL to swallow, but oh so important to understand HOW they are involved in the whole human/child SEX TRAFFICKING scandal going on now.

Everything has meaning.

There are NO COINCIDENCES
@QDQANON Time for a dig Patriot anons!

Find out HOW the Disney Executives have figured out how to steal land all across the U.S.

Throughout the years, Walt Disney has developed several very sneaky but reliable techniques to acquire land.
@QDQANON Walt Disney World History 101 – “How to buy 27,000 acres of land and have no one notice”

They will acquire the land through their executives & large stockholders & family members of the execs & stockholders.

Why do extremist conservative voices oppose pro-democracy reforms? And does a little-noticed memo attacking Democrat's pro-democracy bill, HR 1, rip off the mask of the modern conservative movement's mixture of plutocracy and divisive rhetoric? THREAD 👇
thinkprogress.org/conservative-g…
HR 1 is a massive pro-democracy bill that passed the House w/ support from every Democrat. It would expand voting, limit the influence of wealthy donors and corporations in our political system, strengthen ethics requirements, and confront gerrymandering. /2
The bill has met opposition from exactly the types of groups you might expect: corporate interests, DC lobbyists, and wealthy donors. /3

claiming that “special interest agendas like the LGBT agenda are being rejected.” From a celebratory email Brown sent IOF supporters last week:

President Bolsonaro used his inaugural address to echo his commitment to fulfilling his campaign promises:

'Let’s unite the people, value families, respect Judeo-Christian traditions, fight gender ideologies (and preserve) our values,' he said to a cheering crowd. Bolsonaro acted immediately to begin implementing his agenda upon being sworn into office this week,

Here's what the #CNP has planned for education in the United States. With the Heritage Foundation's support, of course.

Compare this to what DeVos has done as Secretary of Education: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betsy_DeV…

I was born and raised in the beautiful city of #Curitiba, southern #Brazil!
This region is famous for being cold and cloudy (yes it can be cold in Brazil!).
It is also famous for its very endemic and beautiful #Araucaria pine trees. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network @500womensci /1
#Actions speak louder than words! I am thankful for my parents for being who they are. Both always showed love for Nature, different interests and #curiosity! So no wonder by observing them I grew up to be a very curious girl who really loved Nature. #voicesIWS @IWS_Network /2
During High School I became fascinated by the #mendelian #genetics classes and the work of #gregormendel! I also loved studying animals, ecosystems and climate so the obvious choice for me in University (@PUCPR_oficial ) was BIOLOGY!! @IWS_Network #womeninscience #voicesIWS /3
