THIS IS AN INTERESTING VIDEO WORTH SHARING.

A #Catholic Priest imprisoned by the #Nazis developed a theory about "#Stupidity", recognizing that it isn't just a lack of intelligence, but ALSO encompasses "willful ignorance".

Sound familiar? (screenshot does not appear in video. No idea why they used it.) #Fascism #DisasterPresidency #NaziDon #PropagandaMinisterMusk #HoboGoering #Bannon

being a #journalist #journalism might become more dangerous: A Donald #Trump megadonor is asking the conservative-dominated #SupremeCourt to gut the media’s ability to assertively cover politicians.

Billionaire casino mogul #SteveWynn, who has donated millions to Trump’s presidential campaigns, is petitioning the court to disavow The #NewYorkTimes v. Sullivan, a key precedent protecting the press.

The landmark 1964 decision RAISED the standards to sue the #press for libel when a false statement is published about a public figure.

The court ruled unanimously that a public figure has to show that the journalist either knew that the information was false or disregarded the possibility in order to win the defamation case. It isn’t enough just to prove that the information was wrong

Dear everyone who couldn't vote for Harris because of Gaza, I hope you're satisfied. Even if Trump doesn't expel Palestinians and turn Gaza into "the Riviera of the Middle East", they are about to be triangulated into an untenable position. (Miss me with Saudi Arabia being a savior--ask the Saudis who aren't royals about that.) But yeah, yeah, yeah, you voted for Stein, your hands are clean... #tyranny facilitated by #stupidity

""In reading the history of nations, we find that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities; their seasons of excitement and recklessness, when they care not what they do. We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first."
