Truth Sandwiches: Mind? What's that For? [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-11-17

The Indivisible Truth Brigade has put out new campaigns with new banners and new Truth Sandwiches every two weeks for more than a year. This one is a doozy. We don’t want to attach it directly to disinformation videos and give them oxygen. Instead, as always, we want to start with common ground.

x Video is a wonderful way to share info or entertainment. But it is also a powerful propaganda tool. Worse, there are some who are enraged by info & entertainment, & go into anti-Constitutional paroxysms.

Be careful what you watch, & check out anything too good or bad to be true. pic.twitter.com/TiVore5Tiw β€” Mokurai Delusion Fighter πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ (@Mokurai) November 17, 2023

We have quite a library built up. You can see all of the banners in the DK image library. I have also put them into an invitation-only Pinterest board along with some messages that are private to the group.

x #Videos can be really fun to watch! The dark side: videos move quickly and tap into emotions - a benefit for those spreading lies. Fight back: share videos only after double checking the reliability of the content. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/87E98nx5Sz β€” Sharon V Elwell (@shrn_elwell) November 11, 2023

x Kids have enough to deal with today without their schools being political battlegrounds. So when politicians condemn #publicschools, ban books and politicize history, who’s protecting the kids? Fight for what kids really need: Truth!

x Ask: who benefits by poisoning us against funds for educating kids and cleaning the air? When you see hate and division, check the motives of the source! #TruthBrigade https://t.co/49J4SuSiCJ β€” Andrea C, MPH (@Angxgau) November 1, 2023

x Our health matters more than industry profits! So when you hear arguments against lower costs for prescriptions, ask who benefits from keeping costs high? Check sources – it may be #BigPharma behind spurious claims and even lawsuits #TruthBrigade https://t.co/SXqhcpWGJA pic.twitter.com/PrqQaLHZQC β€” Emmalee Sims (@sims_emmalee) November 3, 2023

x #Indivisible #TruthBrigade: We can help: Fight the lies about government funding

Weapons that DoD can't use are spending. Tax cuts for the rich are spending. Fossil fuel subsidies are spending. Programs for kids, the poor, workers, renewables, etc. are INVESTMENTS with huge ROI. https://t.co/9hZBbcsUJt pic.twitter.com/PC3cb4iv4O β€” Mokurai Delusion Fighter πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ (@Mokurai) November 6, 2023

x Taxes are too complicated, and it's easy for the wealthy to get away with not paying their fair share. So why are pundits and politicians lying about the new laws that actually fix the #IRS? #TruthBrigade pic.twitter.com/8pJeWTnTpe β€” Itasca Area Indivisbile (@Indivis_Itasca) October 20, 2023

x Nobody wins when #GunViolence devastates our communities. So why would anyone lie about what really keeps us safe? Ask β€œwho profits?” when you see a violent solution to violence! Check sources to stop the spread of profiteering gun lies. #TruthBrigade https://t.co/xBh4eCRopx β€” Andrea C, MPH (@Angxgau) November 8, 2023
