now that trump has tiktok, twitter, facebook and insta in his pocket, get ready for a massive wave of internet censorship. one of trump's greatest weapons has always been misinformation; it's going to become harder and harder to spread facts and criticism going forward. posts that aren't made invisible will be magically ignored by the algorithm. dissidents will have their accounts deleted and voices erased.
this is a suppression tactic. this is another stage of fascism.
This definitely seems like a good time to pull these out
Learn how to evaluate news sources, identify unreliable sources, misinformation, and conspiracy theories
The definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation.
I'll also provide some of my advice:
Don't react immediately. Any form of ragebait or misinformation thrives on gut reactions. Instead, analyze the material. Do research. Think about what you want to say. Or you can not say anything at all. That is also a valid option.
If someone is attacking you online, do not fight back. Block them. If they keep coming back, starve them by giving them nothing to feed on, or report them. If they doxx you or do something that threatens your privacy, report it here and here.
Screenshot and record often. Keep circulating the tapes.
Never, under any circumstances, share personal information on the internet. You might as well go faceless.
If anyone has any other pages that talk about fact checking and how to fact check social media posts, do let me know.
Thank you, my friends, for bringing us to 89,000. I want to thank everyone, but we still need help. The crossing is about to open, so I ask you to donate to us so that we can travel safely.
hello everyone!! id like to direct your attention to Ahed and his incredibly kind family. he and his wife are struggling to take care of their three young children in the midst of the ongoing genocide, facing the destruction of the home they'd built, disease, hunger, and a deformity in their 6 year old daughter, Iman's, foot that requires medical intervention. on top of this, just last night they had to rush to take shelter due to shelling not far from where they've been staying. they need your help to survive, and hopefully to escape the war!
every little bit helps, even just €5 can make a difference if we all work together! your donations and reblogs can help them survive and find peace! they're currently at €11,453 of their €40,000 goal!! donations have slowed down quite a bit, so please help keep up the momentum!!
you can see that they're vetted by gazavettters here, #229!
A cry for help from Gaza

Still the freakiest fact about him is that despite being as tall as a person or more, he banged out these beauties in a day or two at most (and smaller ones ina matter of hours). The longest he spent on a painting, at age 81, to make his largest ever painting, was TEN DAYS:
It is 2.9×4.3 meters large. That’s 9'4"×14'1" for people in other measurement systems. It’s HUGE. There are artists out there that spend years on paintings much smaller than this. He was not one of them.
He also didn’t only paint the sea, but he MOSTLY painted the sea. Very few people could draw light filtering through waves the way this guy did and apparently it was tied into his layering technique that allowed him to paint so goddamn fast.
I hope things will be better, for myself and others, but who knows how it'll actually end up.
The thing my friend Sama is hoping for soon is a stop to the siege and blockade of Gaza. She's lost her husband, a close cousin, and her house in this accelerated genocide, and now has to take care of her two young children by herself in a flismy tent on a cold, wet beach. So please share this post or donate to help give them hope in these dark times.

I hope you'll let me tell you a little bit about my home🇵🇸, Gaza🍉. It's a place where we're living through some very challenging times💔🥹. We're under attack from bombs, explosives, and warplanes, and we've had to endure many nights of sleeplessness. It's a difficult situation💔, but we're trying to stay positive🖤. This war has really taken a toll on us. It's destroyed our bodies, our lives, and our souls. It has been so sad to see our homes destroyed, our belongings taken from us, and our beautiful places ruined. It has also changed our situation for the worse. We were living a pretty good life, you know? Peaceful, loving, and full of life. But then, we found ourselves in a really tough spot. Hunger, fear, and terror have become our new normal. My kids and I, along with my extended family, are struggling to make ends meet. We don't have the basic necessities of life, and our living situation is pretty rough. We're in these old, falling-apart tents. It's so hard to know what to do when winter comes. We'll be soaked in the rain and wind, and I'll be at a loss as to how to keep my family safe, from the bombing and from the winter.🥹
I'm really hoping you can help me and my family to live through this awful war.💔🥹🍉
Please take a few minutes to watch the video and read this post.
I am writing these words after losing hope in everyone… except for you, my friends. Tumblr has a very large number of users, estimated in the millions . That’s an enormous number! But imagine, with all those of people, how would you feel if people saw you and ignored you? You’d feel deeply disappointed, right? Or maybe you’d even wish for death.
Have you ever wished for death? For me, I feel like I’d rather die than be ignored by everyone. If I wasn’t in desperate need of help, I wouldn’t ask anyone for it. I really need help.
Imagine for a moment that you have a small child you love dearly, and you’re forced to watch her suffer in front of your eyes. This isn’t just an imagination for me; it’s my reality. My family and I live this pain every day.
The Rafah crossing will open its doors for travel a month from now.
If we do not collect enough money for all of us to go out, we will be forced to separate and the family will be dispersed. Please stand with us and do not allow us to separate and our family to separate. We all want to get out of here.
Please, be our hope. Be our voice. Be the ones who save us from despair. Don’t ignore us. Donate, even if it’s just $5 .
There are so many people reading this post right now. I beg anyone who sees these words to donate if they can, and if not, to share this post. Please, don’t leave us behind.
Hi, I'm Lia & I'm organizing this fundraiser for my friends the Shehabs. They're… L J needs your support for Help Sahar & Her Family Survive
Be our family, or think of us as members of your own family, and save us from this suffering.
No matter how small the amount, your help means the world to us. And if you can’t donate, share this post and add a few kind words to inspire others to help.
Thank you so much, everyone. I wish you all the best.
Currently at $6682 (CAD) Only $318 (CAD) away to 7k
The last donation was 9 hours ago. Please donate. We are very close to reaching 7k . Please donate. Help out however you can. No donation is too small. Thank you my friends for helping me. Please continue to donate so I can reach my goal of 10k. Your donations are what will save us. If we don't raise enough money, my family and I will have to separate, and we will be separated and far from each other. The family will be dispersed. We want to travel and leave Gaza together because my family cannot live without me. Our lives are in your hands. Please donate even a little, leave your beautiful mark in our lives. Please, everything helps and benefits us.
Please let us get to 7k as soon as possible. I am only $318 (CAD) away from the amount.
The billionaire has become one of the most prominent supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.
While Christmas Day is the last day anyone should ask for you to spend more money, I'm asking you to spend more money. A dollar. Five dollars. Whatever you've got. Elon Musk wants to own Wikipedia - one of the last reliable sources out there, and the only one not owned by a billionaire or corporation.
If you can't donate, this message isn't for you and you should not feel bad.
If you can donate to Wikipedia to keep it out of Musk's filthy, blood-stained hands, please do.
