Truth Pon Mute: How Social Media Build One Big Gap 'Tween Lie an' Fact

“Mi believe wi deh pon crisis. Di gap 'tween wah people a seh an wah really true tun one deep, dark chasm. Outta all di tings a risk, di loss a real, objective truth a di most dangerous.”

Intro: Di New Digital Inquisition

Dem promise freedom fi express wi mind. Dem promise platform weh truth can thrive. But a lie dem sell. Instead, we get algorithm weh praise lies an’ penalize truth. Di one dem who speak raw truth get silence. Di ones who sweet up lie? Dem get trending.

Dis cyaan call mistake. It cyaan be glitch. It a blueprint weh dress up in neutral name. Wi living inna world weh lie loud, truth quiet, and reality tun illusion.

I. Facebook: Engagement Over Integrity

Facebook live offa hype. Hype bring clicks, clicks bring cash. Truth? Too slow, too complex. Frances Haugen show say Facebook know dem platform push hate, push falsehood—an dem choose fi do nuttn.

Di algorithm love war. More anger = more scroll = more ads. So even when country bun down, or COVID lie kill people, Facebook just adjust optics, nuh fix problem.

“When profit ride pon outrage, truth cyaan afford di fare.”

II. Twitter/X: Di Free Speech Mirage

When Elon tek over, him seh “Free speech fi all.” But wah him really do? Unban di wicked. Ban di truth-teller.

Di timeline flood wid conspiracy, bigotry, fake “news.”
Real voice—journalist, activist—dem get suppress.

Musk bruk up di moderation team, mek di echo chamber louder.

“Dis nuh free speech—it a weaponized noise, designed fi shut up di real talk.”

III. Bluesky: Clean Face, Same Dirty Game

Dem seh Bluesky a new ting. Decentralized, open, better than Twitter. But underneath? Di same suppression wid pretty name.

Mi post get hide, mi reach get cut. Mi nuh violate rule—but mi violate comfort. Mi offend di “vibe.”

All while lie parade inna suit an’ tie. As long as yuh sound polite, yuh cyan tell lie whole day.

“Dem seh ‘open sky,’ but all mi see a digital cage wid see-through bars.”

IV. Di Death of Truth

Dis a di heart a di crisis: Dem nah just ignore truth—dem bury it.

What we know—through evidence, through life, through gut—dem erase or downrank.

“Mi believe we deh pon crisis. Di gap ‘tween wah people a seh an wah really true tun abyss.”

Truth cyan’t shine if it cyaan be seen. Misinformation a deh pon di frontline, truth get draft to di basement.

“Dis nuh just misinformation. Dis a memory loss. People forget how truth even sound.”

V. Di Algorithm Love Hype, Not Facts

Lies fast. Lies sweet. Lies simple.
Truth need time. Need context. Need pause.

But di algorithm? It nah wait.
It push wah get click, not wah get clarity.

“Algorithm nuh care if it real. It care if it viral.”

So lie get prime time. Truth get bedtime.

VI. Gaslight inna Code

Dis a nuh old-time censorship. Dis a digital vanishing.

Yuh post still deh—just nobody see it.
Yuh comment still live—just nuh trend.
Yuh account nuh banned—but yuh invisible.

“Dis a gaslight by design. Mek yuh feel crazy, while dem choke yuh voice wid code.”

Conclusion: Di Silence Is Loud

Di platform dem build fi gi voice now tek it back.
Dem nuh fail fi stop lie—dem protect it.
Dem silence truth while branding it 'safety.'

“Tyranny nuh come wid boot no more. It come wid ‘community guidelines.’ It come wid shadowban an’ ‘violating vibes.’

Truth nuh dead inna war. It drown slow inna algorithm.”

Death by Policy: How American Institutions Are Quietly Thinning the Herd Introduction What if the greatest threat to your life wasn’t a natural disaster or a foreign enemy—but a bureaucratic decision buried in an NIH memo or a Medicaid proposal? From scientific research to healthcare access, a coordinated erosion of public good is underway. It’s slow, procedural, and written in the language of oversight and efficiency. But the outcome is unmistakable: fewer people survive. This isn’t dysfunction. It’s design. And the people who survive it? That’s no accident either. 1. NIH Subawards: Cutting the Lifeline of Global Science In May 2025, the National Institutes of Health announced that foreign institutions would no longer be eligible for subawards through U.S.-based research grants. For the layperson, this sounds like a small administrative tweak. In reality, it’s an act of scientific isolationism that endangers lives. Subawards are how research projects work across borders. A U.S....

Title: When a President Defies the Court — and Laughs About It

Image
The Trump White House didn’t just violate a federal court order — they bragged about it. On April 17, the official @WhiteHouse account mocked a New York Times headline about a man wrongly deported under Trump’s immigration policies. The man — Kilmar Abrego Garcia — had a valid asylum claim, but the administration deported him anyway, in defiance of judicial rulings. Then came the tweet. “Fixed it for you, @NYTimes,” the account posted, crossing out “wrongly deported” and replacing it with “MS-13 ILLEGAL ALIEN.” Then, the kicker: “@ChrisVanHollen — he’s NOT coming back.” This isn’t just cruel. It’s authoritarian. The Trump administration is openly thumbing its nose at the rule of law. They're ignoring judicial orders, violating constitutional norms, and doing so with public glee . They aren't hiding their contempt — they’re turning it into content. When the White House uses its platform not to explain policy but to mock a federal judge’s ruling, that’s not spin — that’s...
