If 2pm presser is about Venezuela, my prebunk/theory:

Trump's military provocations on Venezuela are a way to create a factual basis to sustain his Alien Enemies Act deportations. And, he may try to use it to expand his original executive order to all Venezuelans, not just TdA

Researchers developed six short videos to “prebunk” common misinformation tactics and logical fallacies. The videos successfully improved viewers’ ability to detect manipulative content (especially polarization and conspiracy theory tactics).

To prebunk what we can expect to hear tomorrow:
🔴 Immigrants pay provincial taxes.
🔴 Many non-immigrants don't.

Cutting off immigrants' access to public services isn't about protecting taxpayers.

It's about picking and choosing who is worthy of healthcare and education.
For years, people have said Canada's brand of right-wing populism was unique in lacking a xenophobic, anti-immigrant strain.

Anyone still under that illusion should watch premier Smith's speech to Albertans tomorrow.

We can’t win with fact-checking alone, we need memes that prebunk, parody, confuse the algorithms, jam the bad signals. Fast, emotional, and visual. Memes that make people think twice, laugh out loud, or pause just long enough to interrupt the lie they were about to share.

Debunking lies is too time-consuming. Democracies need to prebunk—teaching media literacy before falsehoods take hold, says Bosnian journalist and analyst Harun Karčić at the Lviv Media Forum.

And we need “a coalition of democratic friends.”

Government professors @brendannyhan.bsky.social and @johncarey.bsky.social conducted studies of election perceptions in the U.S. and Brazil, and found that warning voters about false claims about the election can “prebunk” fraud talk.

Republicans are lying and saying that because USAID was created by an executive order it can be destroyed by one. It was created by EO sixty years ago, but subsequently enshrined in law. Prebunk this lie to three people today.

L'un des résultats est que le débunk, sans être inutile, reste souvent peu efficace, contrairement au prébunk, un analogue de la vaccination, dans lequel la population-cible est mise en présence de petits éléments de désinformation corrigée, permettant de mieux la combattre ensuite.

The meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will likely be filled with misinformation and vaccine myths, experts warn.

Step three: Pre-frame the narrative.
Don’t just “prebunk” lies—define the story first.
If we know the right will lie about crime, climate, or immigration, we should lead with emotionally clear, values-driven truth before the smear hits.

10/ Prebunk number one, the socialism smear. It is coming for any progressive candidate on the ballot this fall, in Michigan, Florida, and beyond. When it lands, it will not be about their record, it will be one clip of someone else entirely, stretched to cover every Democrat running.

I remember during the pandemic having to contact my employer on more than one occasion and prebunk the attempts to get me fired over viral tweets containing the hot takes that:

1) Vaccines reduced deaths from covid
2) John Ioannidis should name what statistical test he used
who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

14/ Prebunk number three, the open borders claim. Any candidate who mentions reforming ICE will get labeled pro open borders and soft on crime, no matter what they actually proposed. The clip will be real footage, the meaning attached to it will not be true

12/ Prebunk number two, the impeachment scare. Expect ads warning that a Democratic Congress will spend two years on impeachment instead of governing. It is aimed at low turnout voters who only show up for Trump, meant to drag them to the polls on fear alone.
