I see we're talking about the Doctor's Plot conspiracy theory again without pointing out that it's a weaponized, explicitly antisemitic narrative. it's important to point out the history and goals of these conspiracy theories truthorfiction.com/anti-vaccine-d…
It's important because they have track record of getting a lot of people killed and hurt, which members of the media and political worlds wielding them absolutely know. They're doing it on purpose. You need to remember that. These are not innocent mistakes.
This is established history with established consequences ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

These people are telling us all important things about what they are.
That's why I posted this thread last night.

And yet they had people in the mix from CIS -- the Center for Immigration Studies -- one of the "population control" groups of the white supremacist #TantonNetwork.
You see what a chokehold these eugenicist groups have on our immigration discussion? And they push disinformation from the start. This is complete bullshit
And yet, in the name of "both sides," we are forced to entertain the hysterical fantasizing of pro-eugenics lobbying groups created by avowed white supremacists. Further reading about CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA and all the rest of their shell groups here: adl.org/news/article/t…

The #TantonNetwork ensures the borderlands as a training ground
David Duke and Tom Metzger formed what they called "the first citizen border patrol" in the late 1970s. The New York Times covered it in 1977
See? It's always the same people nytimes.com/1977/10/18/arc…

That crisis has been building for years. It's a real shame that my colleagues and employers in public media did not listen to my concerns about misogyny and racism within its ranks for all those years.
I even filed HR complaints about it so that there would be a paper trail. I started doing that in 2013 or 2014. I was told "people of color just don't apply to public media" by HR at one point and I was so shocked that I thought he was doing a bit and laughed. He wasn't joking.
I also got told repeatedly that I was "too cute" to be a "proper reporter" (by editors who later told me I was "too immature" for a full-time job.) That was not a compliment. These experiences were at large local NPR affiliates in southern California.
