"This chart below is misinformation caused by Semafor misreading its original source.

USAID was 40% of total aid going to Somalia, not 40% of Somali GDP. In reality, USAID spending was closer to 3% of Somali GDP."
-J Politano

This isn't just #disinformation by Trump's enablers (on X, posted by W Chamberlain of the Article 3 Project) -it's discrediting & lying about #USAID. Before USAID was dismantled, the agency provided life-saving aid around the world.

A table listing low-income countries where USAID provides over one-fifth of Official Development Assistance (ODA). It includes columns for country name, Gross National Income (GNI) per capita, population, ODA per person, percentage of ODA…

Besides, getting measles isn't the worst thing that can happen to a child. Only 1 to 3 in 1,000 die of measles. And those who die must not have been meant to live; they lacked natural strength and were not fed and exercised properly.

For children who survive measles, the worst that can happen is that they go blind — but at least, they'll have their lives, even if they can no longer see.

I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE THINK WE NEED VACCINES

Wearing asafoedita in a bag around the neck keeps measles at bay. It's a sure preventative.

If you think you need extra protection, sip some water from a holy well while walking widdershins around it and reciting the Lord's prayer backwards.

@allrite what you just described sounds like complete #disinformation. and if it's not, give us the following information: 1.
what car brand/model it was.
2. where the car was when this happened.
no need to tell me the list of voice commands, I will scrutinize that myself.
if it's self built, tell me what frameworks you used, or if you coded your own.
untill then, it sounds like disinformation

"One of the strangest dynamics of modern politics is that the richest man in the world chooses to get his information from grifting ignoramuses on social media."

www.forkingpaths.co"Knowingness" and the Politics of IgnoranceMuch ink has been spilled about "polarization." Most of it ignores a major cause: the widespread, misplaced faith that we already know that which we do not know.

More on how the US will convince Canadians to become Americans. The tactics have worked elsewhere.

"...governments and intelligence agencies have learned the hard way of the power of #disinformation and propaganda channelled through social media.

"You keep repeating things often enough, people start believing it," he said. "If it continues down this path for years, virtually anybody can be worn down.""
And don't forget, Russia is involved too and has already released social media videos saying how great becoming the 51st state would be.

Update. "#Trump’s next #climate move: Show global warming benefits humanity"
eenews.net/articles/trumps-nex

"President Donald Trump has long rejected climate science. Now, his administration is grappling with how to assemble a body of federal climate research to show a warming world is benefiting humanity…Proposals include…conducting a hostile review of U.S. and international climate reports, and recruiting a White House-approved list of researchers to produce a National Climate Assessment based on partisan research and industry studies."

E&E News by POLITICO · Trump’s next climate move: Show global warming benefits humanityA new federal report downplaying or denying climate change could drive a reversal of climate rules and expansion of executive authority.
