Amidst the horror of the killing of Renee Good, I take solace in seeing how technology has outperformed propaganda:
I have seen more lies about the killing than I can count, but it is 2026, and I have also seen around 6 different video recordings of the incident from all possible angles WITH clear audio.
Gone are the days, when propagandists could freely shape the narrative. JD Vance and Trump can still lie, but we can see the incident they are lying about, from 6 different angles WITH audio.
And yet Trump’s fascist base believes the Trump Regime’s gaslighting. “Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
@randahl Brooks and Capehart discussed this yesterday:
"And I watched it play out in real time this week, because every single Trump person on my feed, my social media feeds was saying, this proves he shot her with just cause.
And every single anti-Trump person on my feed said it was murder. I did not see one exception. And so I think what this tells us is the norm, which is essential to democracy, of putting the truth above your party and your team, that norm is eviscerated, at least on social media, hopefully not in real life."
The polarization will reach its crescendo.

@randahl Understood. I’m also wondering which digital networks, if any, are free from manipulation or shutdown.
@randahl well said mate
@randahl I am not as optimistic as you are. The constant lies and reinterpretations of 6 January have led to completely divergent opinions about what really happened. Even though there are thousands of images and videos that show what happened. People no longer need to see something to believe it. You have to make them believe something so that they see it. I highly recommend to listen to this podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/acht-milliarden/id1278835623?l=de-DE&i=1000743895118 (german)
@randahl But their support base doesn’t care for truth. If they cared,they would have stopped being their fan base long ago.
@randahl you can always tell when Trump , Vance & Musk lie it's when they open their mouths!
@randahl ICE are legalized thugs, and as you say, the world knows it. #TechnologyForGoodAmongstEvil
