And, understand, this is based on world we live in these days. I know some don't like posting Twitter links but this isn't on Bsky.

Here is an effective tweet disputing Trump's lies. Simply spouting the facts hasn't worked, but grabbing attention first by his mocking of Trump does.




And this tweet is immediately followed by a coverage of Newsom promoting a program to address the growing suicide rate and sense of isolation in young men.
