Here are five election disinformation trends you should expect -- and warn others not to fall for: 1. Raw video voting/polls. 2. Vote totals will jump. 3. Premature claims of victory. 4. Last-minute AI-generated images/videos. 5. Partisan claims of fraud. newslit.org/wp-content/uploa…

Timeless wisdom from Warren Buffett.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The @WarrenBuffettHQ account was already suspended in 2019 and remains suspended. Warren Buffett's account is @WarrenBuffett but he has not posted since 2016. The AAP fact checking website states that this quote is falsely attributed to Warren Buffett. aap.com.au/factcheck/emot…

As if you didn’t need another reason to vote in November, the next president will appoint the new Librarian of Congress. Make your voices heard friends!

Tomorrow we are told to expect the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity. Make no mistake this could be the most impactful opinion in American history. SCOTUS has decided to aggressively reshape our country and jump cut into an authoritarian style. At no point in time did we ever consider that a legitimate expression of our democratic principles. Now we are facing a highly motivated Supreme Court,a complicit GOP,and a crazed man who wants to be dictator. So,all of these forces are lined up and marching forward. Regardless of what happens tomorrow we can vote in November and finally stop this insane movement. Vote in record numbers. This turnout could be us rescuing ourselves. Looking back the books will count the massive turnout in November as America redeeming itself. Historic. In the alternative there will no books that record the struggle at all. May be no books. Vote Blue without fail. Vote Biden/Harris. @BidenHQ @POTUS #VoteBlueDownBallott #VoteBlueForDecency
