The Trump administration has cancelled hundreds of grants to researchers studying lies, conspiracy theories, and misinformation on the internet. The administration says it is protecting “free speech.” This is the same administration that punishes students for speaking out for Palestine and goes after news reporters who criticize Trump.
Look at the people around Trump–the whole administration is chocked full of people who are divorced from reality and live in a fantasy world of lies abetted by Fox News, Facebook, X, conspiracy podcasters, vaccine deniers, Q-Anon goofballs, and no-neck mouth breathers.

. . . and the stupidest mother fuckers of the face of the Earth!
