Less than two weeks ago, Marco Rubio closed the office at the State Department that focused on combatting foreign propaganda. He fired over 50 people that worked there, and went on a media blitz beginning with Bari Weiss accusing them of “censoring Americans” because they warned social media companies that lots of accounts were fake Russian or Chinese operations spreading COVID lies.

The next week the DOJ wrote to Wikipedia threatening their 501c3 status and accusing them of letting foreigners edit pages on Israel and Palestine.

Martin is known for thinly justified legal threats against media organizations. In recent days, Martin has sent letters to the New England Journal of Medicine, the CHEST Journal, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, accusing them of being “partisan in various scientific debates.”

Martin asks the Wikimedia Foundation to respond to several questions, such as what it’s doing to “safeguard” the public from propaganda, as well as efforts to exclude “foreign influence operatives from making targeted edits” on topics that would “reshape or rewrite history.” He’s giving the Foundation until May 15th to respond.

This Martin guy might be the biggest dumb asshole in the Trump universe.  Definitely giving Navarro a run for the money.

My father specifically told me that he voted for Trump (probably for at least the second time) because the parties switched over who they fight for: Republicans are for the "little people" while the Democrats are just tools of the billionaires. He also said Joe Biden was a rapist.

When those words came out of his mouth, I was completely dumbfounded and just sort of shut down because I didn't realize that my father is that fucking stupid.

That’s probably 200 subcomponents of the trade deal with the island of Vanuatu.  The real problem is trying to get all of those cargo cults on board.

SIAP. I considered putting this in the Elon thread, but he is only one of many who favor this manipulation:

1/8 Elon Musk now has access to over 300+ gov’t data fields on Americans—income, debts, medical history, immigration status, even addiction treatment. This isn’t about efficiency. It’s about emotional leverage. Here’s how it powers neurotargeting. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Read the entire thread for more. This type of neurotargeting is very effective, although people dismiss it as something to which they are not susceptible. But that isn't true. It has worked on voters in past elections, it worked on citizens during the pandemic, and with the information silos where many reside it will keep growing.

Here's the rest of it, spoilered for length:

 

Spoiler
2/8 Neurotargeting works best when it knows what you fear, need, & rely on. If someone controls your financial, medical, & legal data, they don’t just know who you are. They know how to manipulate your emotions when you’re most vulnerable—& weaponize that for control. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/us/politics/trump-musk-data-access.html?unlocked_article_code=1.CU8.QstM.kZffXPKtxWZt&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
3/8 Example: You’re behind on taxes, receiving disability, recently unemployed, and flagged for depression. This system could use that profile to target you with messages that trigger fear, shame, paralysis, or false hope—designed to keep you compliant and quiet. https://bsky.app/profile/digitalwarrior.bsky.social/post/3lnmmddurhs2x [contains quote post or other embedded content]

 

 

 

4/8 It’s not just your data. It’s your patterns. Your routines, relationships, addictions, and pain points. That creates a trigger map: what breaks your confidence, what calms your outrage, what makes you distrust yourself—or stop believing change is possible.
5/8 With 300+ fields from systems like the IRS, Social Security, Education, HUD, and Health & Human Services, neurotargeting moves from messaging to behavioral conditioning. They don’t just market to you. They shape your decisions—under stress, and often in crisis.
6/8 This isn’t theory. It’s already happening through public-private “efficiency” partnerships. What Musk’s DOGE unit is building is a cognitive control system—designed not just to optimize bureaucracy, but to govern people by emotional influence and psychological pressure.
7/8 When platforms and political machines can fuse your personal vulnerabilities with AI-driven emotion tracking, the result isn’t convenience. It’s soft authoritarianism. You won’t see it coming. You’ll just feel more alone, anxious, disoriented—and obedient.
8/8 If they control how you feel when you’re afraid, tired, or ashamed—they don’t need to censor you. They just need to steer you. That’s what neurotargeting backed by federal data looks like. #Neurotargeting #Voices4Victory #DigitalRights #CognitiveFreedom

This is a propagandists dream - a map to every voter's amygdala

The section on AI when combined with data plus integrated location tracking, etc. It's beyond invasive.

So many services require users to use devices with apps installed which furthers the ability of the government and oligarchical corps to monitor and control the populace. Women of child bearing age were already concerned about menstrual cycle trackers and were deleting them but that likely will not matter.

Panic voting, panic buying, The remark about soft authoritarianism that you don't see coming is spot on.

Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS. The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are. These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse. They suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, and there is nothing that anyone, or anything, can do about it. THEY ARE SICK, almost only write negative stories about me no matter how well I am doing (99.9% at the Border, BEST NUMBER EVER!), AND ARE TRULY THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE! I wish them well, but will continue to fight to, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I think that Trump post was time stamped at 524a EST lol. He's freaking out over his numbers collapsing.

#16988

He's spent the last three months destroying the economy, making enemies of our allies, and generally doing everything he can to weaken us as much and as fast as possible. I guess he expected that to go over really well with everyone.

That’s because the conservative was supposed to win but since turnip started with his 51st state shit, his numbers have nosedived to the point where he might lose tonight. This was supposed to be a cakewalk for the Canadian conservatives

Yep.  And all that the liberals have to do is paint Poilievre as a Canadian Trumpist (they say all the same shit)....which they did.  Effortlessly, really.

I am not a man given to ANY hope these days.  But it is POSSIBLE that one silver lining of Trump functionally declaring war on the entire world (yes, MAGAs, that's what launching a trade war against literally every country (except Russia and such, of course), and characterizing those countries as our enemies (his actual word) does) is that in the rest of the world, Trump-style right-wing autocrat/fascist/racist candidates are much less attractive than they once were.  The Economist did a whole piece on this.  We'll see how it turns out, but if you are in a country that Trump has recently shit on and threatened your trade and/or sovereignty (so....every country), Trump is becoming a toxic brand.
