Pledges and lists written over the first 100 days

A path through the primer focusing on the several pledges and lists of hardtruths I wrote during the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

I hereby pledge (from #100hardtruths Pledge):

  • To disrupt the new President’s First 100 days by posting #100truths-fakenews with linked actions, analyses and organizations committed to digital media literacy.
  • In so doing, I will produce a 100 point digital primer to counter the purposeful confusion, lack of trust, and disorientation of the current administration’s relation to media, offering instead a steady, reasoned set of resources seeking clarity and justice.

Contents of this path:

  1. My Pledge
  2. 5 #hardtruths and 2 new pledges @#50
  3. #80, outlast virality
  4. #89, ten (more!) superhardtruths about #100hardtruths (certainly not) needed
  5. #90, Trump is always making provocations with his aggressive words
  6. #100, speak and spell, teach and tell, count and swell
