Community Notes (@CommunityNotes) is arguably the best feature Twitter has ever produced.

A short thread 🧵 Image
For years the mainstream press could knowingly write bogus articles that would rack up tens of millions of views, with the goal of pushing a false narrative out to the world.
They knew that once the article hit the zeitgeist, the narrative would be set in stone. The damage was done. They could then quietly stealth edit the article or post a small retraction knowing full & well that the mission had been accomplished and no one would see the correction.
This tactic was used to great affect for years and led to some of the now infamous hoaxes (Russiagate, Russian Bounties, pee tape, & many more)
With @CommunityNotes this is now no longer possible. Liars such as @GlennKesslerWP & @mehdirhasan have recently tried their usual tactics only to get noted and then ratio’d into oblivion. ImageImage
The truth is once again able to thrive on this platform. For those who care about the truth and willing to work for it, I would highly recommend contributing to community notes in whatever way you can.

It is a vital tool to maintain a healthy and honest digital town square.
Another example of @CommunityNotes ftw Image

This is no different than foreign aid
We are being bled dry by LEGAL immigration
Before you come into my replies with your support for mass third world immigration. Understand what you are advocating for and understand that I will respond accordingly.

Boomer fake centrism is officially dead. You’re either with the “far right” (normal people) or you’re with the foreign communists. You saw the same thing in Germany. These are your future political parties.
The underlying theme is rejection of the establishment and a rejection of the boomer world order
Trump is a generational one of a kind man of history who was able to fuse together the boomer right and the young “far right” into one movement (MAGA). Don’t underestimate how difficult that task is. We need Trump more than you know.

My schizo theory is young people aren’t drinking as much as past generations because they ruined beer and alcohol like they did with our food.

You get brutal hangovers now and a bunch of health issues you didn’t get 70 years ago.
It’s pretty self evident. Hops are sprayed with glyphosate, then they are dried chemically with more poison. You drink a lot of this shit and your hormones get all messed up, you get fat and your life is miserable. Past generations could drink and effortlessly stay in shape.
I’ve heard the same thing from friends who make their own mead/wine. If they are poisoning our food why wouldn’t they poison our alcohol? Seems incredibly obvious.

The Israel thing is pretty straightforward. Israel was using Mike Waltz to backchannel and betray the anti-war members of the Trump administration.

The signal chat leak was a ploy to get rid of Hegseth and replace him with someone more amenable to war with Iran.

Trump found out and he’s pissed.
Israel had a very small window where the table was set to go to war with Iran. But they needed us and so they poured all their assets into this mission. But they failed and now we are getting progress on decoupling from Israel that we haven’t seen in decades.
I called the signal chat thing a hoax from the beginning because they just happened to add the Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg, the biggest scumbag alive was too on the nose.

The actual reason for the birthrate decline is women entering the workforce but no one is ready for that discussion.
People love telling men to "take responsibility" but fail to mention how girlboss women have opted for that lifestyle because it is the path of less responsibility.
If you want to fix the birthrate problem you'll need to start shaming women for forgoing responsibility in favor of the Peter Pan marketing girl, drinks with friends on weekends, daddy pays my rent lifestyle.
