Wow. This is how news becomes propaganda. It’s begun. Pay attention.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
Great piece by @sarahellison about the conspirational mindset that thrives in our chaotic, manipulated information spaces. The article shares a few of the insights I've gained this election season so here're some highlights 🧵
Conspiracy theories, which played a role in the US election, are symptoms of a larger problem says Professor @stef_friedhoff of @IFL_Brown:
"People cannot agree on a common set of facts (because) they do not live in the same information realities." washingtonpost.com/politics/…
“What happened after the hurricanes was comparable to that in that the community was mourning and responding and trying to figure out what to do,” Friedhoff said. “And the country was having these conspiracy theories circling around which were very much about the election...” 5/

On the final panel of the day, @stef_friedhoff talks about the importance of communicating uncertainty as part of public communications during outbreaks. And the importance of sharing evidence for the public health action taken during that period of uncertainty. #h5n1
Starting off 3rd panel, committee member and moderator Anabel Rodriguez @TAMU outlines systemic barriers to health services affecting farm and migrant workers.

Why we need professional journalists: @JDVance rep tells @wsj about Anna Kilgore, a Springfield OH woman whose cat went missing in August, so @Kris_Maher drives to her house. She found the cat in her basement and apologized to her Haitian neighbors.
