Four kids. Mortgage worries. Another early morning waiting for him. Then somebody pretended to steal $10 from him and kept filming. If you’ve ever worked until you were exhausted and still wondered whether it would be enough, you understand why his words hit so fucking hard. People have since rallied around Walt with donations. I hope that help gives him some time with his kids and a chance to breathe. Most of us just don’t have a camera there when we finally fall apart. We are all Walt. 🤍 This story and more in today's Daily Dots on Substack. XPOST | SUBSTACK | FACEBOOK | TIKTOK | INSTAGRAM melissahallmanwrites.com @DotConnectingAnons

There’s a war for your mind. Even the simplest of phrases send your thoughts and beliefs into a certain direction. Be wary of what you read and how you read it - those very words are shaping your mind in ways you’re most likely not privy to.

It’s a cognitive war out here, and the lowest common denominator enjoys an unearned advantage on the battlefield. Social media tends to reward mobthink, fan fiction, extreme ideology, hyper-partisan takes, outrage, fear, negativity, and the rest with engagement and virality. Posts and comments that are sober-minded, rational, positive, well-sourced, nuanced, educational, or balanced are DOA. Before social media this was also true, but not as ubiquitous. For my generation, the decline in discourse and the rise of irreverent, idiotic-yet-popular takes started with Jon Stewart and The Daily Show. That show did tremendous damage. Alex Jones destroyed many minds as well, but from a different angle. Now we live with the consequences of those shows and the many copycats of them. The online and media spaces pursue attention and revenue—not clarity, not truth. Discourse, as a means of sorting differing perspectives and information in order to arrive at an understanding, let alone a point of agreement, is extremely rare. Support and defend the places you still find that and the people who promote it. Strive to become one yourself.

I hear a lot of MAGA, online and IRL say, "You're lucky President Trump pardoned you guys. You should be grateful for that!" While the pardon was welcomed and got many released from prison, most people don't know that the pardon did absolutely nothing for hundreds of us. In my case, when my pardon was issued, I had already served my federal prison sentence for nonviolent, first-offense misdemeanors. I had already spent three years, one month and 19 days of either pre-trial supervision, prison, or supervised release/probation. I finished my direct government monitoring 20 days before President Trump pardoned me. And the pardon did not expunge my conviction. It didn't erase any J6er's conviction. The pardon was not even automatically issued; I had to request it and was sent an electronic version. We were never even mailed a paper version. This was the case for all of us. I'm not dunking on President Trump here. I'm shining a light on things that most people misunderstand about the experience of J6ers.

I love that so many Conservatives have a heart for J6ers all these years later. (Thank you!) But did you know that the arrests of J6ers did not begin under Biden? They began during Trump's first term. A lot of people either never knew this or forgot it. J6ers never forgot.
