@OverlandingJohn @ticketocke @Yurr_diva @DavidZipper I have my 100 down but I do not think I can support Elon's companies anymore giving his willingness to provide alt-right and Russian state agents a voice on Twitter. also afraid he could have a hissy fit and just turn off trucks and cars (I couldn't afford it anyways really)

@2ug2ug @Macsbooks1 Yeah I would not compare Putin to Soviet Union, even if Stalin used the imperial tactics of the Empire. Better is to look at Surkov And Illyin. Read Our Side and stuff on Duguid Eurasian ideal of destroying America All based on Uvarov's orthodoxy, autocracy, and nationality

Yes teachers need help with #disinfo but we have to acknowledge we are facing attacks in the information space from foreign actors and states. not the job of the k12 teachers alone to fight influence campaigns from Russia like #MAGA #QANON and #altright BS #NAFO https://x.com/NBCUAcademy/status/1617923819926360065
