If Your Time is short

Former President Donald Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, joined about 40 other Republicans in 2023 to send the U.S. Justice Department a letter urging it to enforce the Comstock Act to crack down on abortion pills.

The 1873 law bars the mailing of "obscene" materials used in abortions. Republicans have tried to revive it to limit or ban mailing abortion pills.

The Republicans’ letter challenged the department’s interpretation of the law and demanded that it shut down all mailing of abortion medication.

When confronted about voting against protections for IVF, Vance said he voted for religious liberty.

So from that we can see that his definition of liberty is the ability to tell other people what they can and can't do.

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.

What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.

By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.
