Moms for Liberty is another one of these rapidly growing (so they say) movements.

They target education and complain unions have taken over schools. If I look, the anti-union rhetoric and the talk of "freedom" makes me sure they will be funded by/connected to GOP.

Their ostensible asks are here but I'm sure it's all garbage:

FOLLOWING OPINION ARTICLE IS GARBAGE. HERE AS AN EXAMPLE ONLY.

"The group doled out the money to Microtargeted Media, founded by Christian Ziegler, a current Sarasota County commissioner and vice chairman of the Florida GOP, in late August."

Barre Seid (manufacturing) gave a billion and a half to Leonard Leo and his Federalist Society (right wing propaganda group, influences judges and lawyers, etc.)

If you are reading about border walls you may see Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) mentioned.

"A number of Federation for Action on Immigration Reform’s current and former employees are connected to white nationalists such as Peter Brimelow and Jared Taylor, and have previously provided a platform for anti-Muslim actors Robert Spencer and Sebastian Gorka."

Good description of tactics employed

nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/

"They posted far more than traditional news outlets, used terms like “BREAKING” and emojis like sirens that suggested urgency, and often excluded sourcing for their claims. The most popular posts were often emotionally charged, including footage of the attacks and airstrikes as well as graphic photos and videos of the injured and dead. ...

Researchers wrote that the volume of the tweets combined with a dearth of sourcing or context created “the sense of a constant stream of decontextualized anger and violence.”

A court stacked with Republicans ordered investigation documents destroyed to protect the subject of the investigation (a Republican) from danger.

Orchestrated by Leonard Leo, Federalist Society.

He just received 1.5 billion from Barre Seid (see post earlier in thread).

Moms for Liberty

Short thread about Moms for Liberty.

Reminding me to always look up who founded these organizations before I do anything else, I'm reminded that It's founded by the wife of the Florida GOP chair.

Koch foundations donate huge amounts to top UK universities.

Byline: "New research by Byline Times reveals that billionaire oil magnate Charles Koch – behind hundreds of millions in annual donations promoting climate science disinformation and right-wing causes in the US – has been contributing to academic research in UK institutions "

And we all know donations never come with strings when provided by miserable oil barons either 😉

Related, this is the story of a purportedly independent regulatory think-tank out of George Washington University.

The think tank is called the Regulatory Studies Center

In actual fact, it is of course no such thing. It's designed to push the agenda that regulation is bad.

That's because it is funded by Koch.

From that same article:

"In a 1974 speech, Koch outlined numerous avenues to “fight for free enterprise,” which, to Koch, meant stripping the government to its bare bones. Koch rated “the educational route the most vital and the most neglected” of the options he listed.[7] “The educational method enables the businessman to work effectively without exposing himself to the same public criticism that the other methods, particularly politics, seem to evoke,” Koch said.[8]"

There's been an increase in sites that appear to be fact checking sites but which are actually pushing disinformation.
