Nobody caters to the knuckle-draggers like Murdoch. Seventy fucking years later, he’s done more to pollute minds than any other figure in modern history. It will be a glorious day when he’s drawn his last breath.

Murdoch testified in court: [the FOX LIES] .. not about Red [GOP] vs Blue[Dem], it is about GREEN [$$$] FOX is a business that promotes whatever is necessary to maintain market share for $$$. It is a business decision! Fidelity to TRUTH is not the central consideration! #usdemocracy

I would tag her but Shannon (who blocks) Watts has become intolerant of different views. Watts is making the claim that AES can’t get black or working class voters while ignoring the $60M of negative ads placed against AES as if they had no effect. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

He's certainly not wrong. But I bet Pete Kegsbreath's pastor probably disagrees. Politics should not play a roll in church, hence the facts that we should separate church and state #USDemocracy

Leaving the job he presently holds out of it, the felon is the worst type of human imaginable. #USDemocracy

I'm not sure telling the world that he has no gag reflex is the brag he thinks it is and his willingness to eat anything including things off the street is not something that the person running our medical system should be openly bragging about either. #USDemocracy www.huffpost.com/entry/rfk-jr...

10/ When you know the play, it loses its power. A discouragement ad only works on people who do not see it coming. So talk to the Stevens voters in your life, name the trick out loud, and encourage them to show up & vote for AES. Watch the money, not the message they paid to put on your screen.

9/ Here is the move for Abdul El-Sayed, and he is sharp enough to see it. Go find Haley Stevens voters now, before the ads & other nudges hit. Tell them plainly. You are about to see posts pushing you to stay home or back Rogers, from the same billionaires who spent $54 million to defeat AES.

8/ Watch for two messages aimed at Haley Stevens voters. One says your vote does not matter, so why bother, just stay home. The other says Abdul is too risky and Mike Rogers is the safe grownup. Both are built to do the same thing, shrink the Democratic vote.

7/ Put it together and point it at Michigan. The billionaires who just poured tens of millions into stopping Abdul El-Sayed own the platforms you scroll every day. They have the study, the money, and the data to aim discouragement straight at the voters they need to disappear.

6/ Then add the targeting. Reporting shows firms like Palantir helping fuse your health, financial, and government records into one profile. No conspiracy needed, just someone willing to pay for access to the right voters. www.aclu.org/news/privacy...

5/ Not small money, either. One conservative fund pulled in two anonymous gifts worth over $425 million in a single year. No law forced anyone to name who gave it. That same pipe can just as easily pay for suppression. news.yahoo.com/two-anonymou...

4/ Now follow the money. Donor advised funds let a billionaire give millions anonymously and write it off their taxes the same day. Those same donors are far likelier to fund pro business groups than to support the rest of us. inequality.org/article/dono...

Donors disproportionately use donor-advised funds to support politically engaged charities. Anonymity is often a big reason why.

3/ We know it works because it already happened. In 2016 ads were built to look like they came from Black organizers, quietly telling Black voters to stay home instead of vote. Turnout dropped. The trail led back to Russia’s Internet Research Agency. The tactic is proven.

2/ This is not a scare story, it is measured. It is factual & peer reviewed. Researchers matched real ads to real voting records and found turnout among voters of color in swing state minority counties fell up to 17.3 percent after exposure. That is the 1 in 6. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

1/ 🧵 It costs 8 cents to make you skip an election. Not a typo. A peer reviewed PNAS study found the right ad, aimed at the right voter, erased 1 in 6 votes of color in swing counties. The billionaires who lost Michigan can buy a lot of 8 cent nudges. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

10/ Michigan decides whether Democrats take back the Senate, so this seat is worth a fortune to them. Your job is simple. Do not fall for the fake outrage. Check who is paying for what you see. Keep talking to Stevens voters. Stay sharp, stay loud, and stay together.

9/ Do not buy the spin that El-Sayed is the easy opponent Republicans wanted to face. Their own leaked memos, reported by Ken Klippenstein, call this kind of populist “uniquely dangerous” in a general election. Watch what they do with their money, not what they say on cable.

8/ So expect the attacks on El-Sayed and the people backing him to ramp up fast. Some will be real voters with real concerns, and that is fair. But a lot of it will be fake. Bots, paid accounts, and coordinated smears dressed up to look like genuine anger.
