The saying goes that "there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution", but I think with some of what's happening these days the reverse is also true. There is nothing more temporary than a permanent solution. There will always be a next tyrant.
Translated into actual journalism, "online attack" means pointing out that that the head of the "Disinformation Governance Board" is a a partisan actor who has spread disinformation. And also that the government, a purveyor of disinformation, has no business policing it.
LOL 😂 This is not satire. Crybullies of a feather flock together.
My only concern is that they’ll quietly restart it with different leadership (lower profile and less controversial than Jankowicz). If it wasn’t for Jankowicz’s lunacy they might’ve gotten away with this plan. But that’s just speculation — hope I’m wrong. Let’s stay vigilant
There's nothing to restart. The head of DHS straight up told us that they've been doing these things for years now. They were trying to bring it out in the open and build on what they've been doing, but now they'll go back to doing it behind closed doors.
"On Monday, DHS decided to shut down the board, according to multiple people with knowledge of the situation. By Tuesday morning, Nina Jankowicz had drafted a resignation letter in response to the board’s dissolution."
The big mystery here: why bother to write a letter of resignation
"Dear Mr President:
Due to the recent eviction notice and cancellation of utility service in my office, as well as the lack of paychecks for the past 3 months, it will be difficult to continue performing the important anti-disinformation duties to which you have entrusted me."
"In that light, please accept this letter as my formal resignation. It has been a true pleasure working for you for these many days, and I trust you will provide a letter of reference as I seek other opportunities in the field of government truth quality control."
They're seeing the same polling data that we are and realize they need to dial the Orwell back a bit before they get truly slaughtered in the midterms.
Win or lose It'll be back after November. Count on it.
They canceled it. If they don't get it off the ground the first try, it will never happen. These people don't try more than once. That would require a work ethic.
Fuck only pausing it, this authoritarian overreach needs to be dismantled completely.

They will resume their efforts once the public is sufficiently distracted. Everyone involved should be persecuted as a traitor to the nation.

They've got saturday morning cartoon villain work ethic, they'll be back next week with a new plot.
It'll come back with another woman, one with less obvious hatred.
