@tressiemcphd.bsky.socialOutstanding meme work here. Work as theory, praxis, explanation, and artifact:

@darinself.comReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialSeveral scholars of authoritarianism and even the Third Reich have, for years, pointed to the similarities between Trump's GOP and the NSDSP and fascism generally. So unless Brooks knows more about that than us, I'd suggest he be quiet and listen to the actual experts.
@maxberger.bsky.socialReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialThe Republican Party is chock full of Nazis. The government has Nazis in senior administration positions. The Republican Party’s largest donor is a neo-Nazi. David Brooks might not want to admit it, but that’s why it’s long past time for him to shut up.

@perevaa.bsky.socialReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialAnd now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services.
Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

@donmoyn.bsky.socialReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialThe targeting of one data center is proving a really useful natural experiment showing which sites and ideologies are an echo chamber of Russian propaganda
@nicholasgrossman.bsky.socialReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialUh oh, did someone’s website and personal account experience a big drop in activity after Ukraine hit a Russian data center?
@tressiemcphd.bsky.socialI’m not much of an ideologue but if you turn one “n“ into three, I assume you’re the CIA. Blocked.

@chadbourn.bsky.socialReposted by @tressiemcphd.bsky.socialUkraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.
@tressiemcphd.bsky.socialIt has occurred to me. Theoretically. Maybe. I can’t say for sure.
