"Trump is a vehicle of divine Providence", said Bannon, as a cloud of flies buzzed around him, feeding upon his rotting, reanimated flesh
Common Dreams@commondreams.org · 10mo agoFormer Trump advisor Steve Bannon says Trump is "gonna get" an unconstitutional 3rd term and that there's a "plan" to make it happen. "We have to finish what we started," Bannon said, adding that Trump "is an instrument of divine will."

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive.

How do major real-world events shape online conversations? With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last yr.Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."
