Unless you're CNN, then: shit your pants, fire all your actual journalists and replace them with talking heads who wouldn't know the global news cycle if it kicked them in the Dardanelles.
Iβm out there protesting with my sign all the time. Iβm writing postcards and Iβm thinking up and helping to organize novel ways to protest. I am a fearless American by choice who will stand up to authoritarian rule every minute of every day. Because at this moment:
As one that has been wired to fight vice flight for most of the decades I have survived, what is happening pisses me off more that scare me. I know many are with us, we will get control of the country in '26~and fix it for ALL People!ππ½
Please remember that you stand in a place of immense privilege now as a man who is relatively famous. Trans-folk, lgbtq folx, women, people of color, migrants⦠all have damn good reason to fear now and that may be all they can cope with. Survival, in its own way, IS resistance.
I'm reading this now. Still hard to believe this is really happening. I guess the delusion this could never happen here has been our greatest vulnerability.
What's hard for me to believe is WHO is pulling this off. Trump and this admin are just terrible at their jobs. Not even good, bad guys. Not cunning or charming.
F-47 and his sycophants. He is a cutthroat out for revenge, and they just wanna burn it all down, they donβt care how it looks. Flooding the zone, shock and awe is their motto. Itβs right out of the fascist playbook.
It's getting difficult to have faith we can fix this and make it better, and we can't go back to the biz as usual stance either. thats what got us here and let this insanity have a footing.
What do you mean by "being held accountable"? People are calling them on their shit all the time. But Dems don't have enough votes in Congress to stop them and the DoJ is run by Trump now.
Calling them on their shit, and doing something about it are 2 entirely different things. We certainly appear to be beyond the constitution crisis recognition.
The Dems have no power. The law is only as good as its enforcement and that's why the enforcers are unlawful loyalists. It is now with the people but the only thing to do is mass boycotts and general strikes. Shut the whole economy down. Mass protests critical too but it's about π°
I partially agree but to be fair Republicans shut the democrats down all the time even when they didn't have power. They're constantly on news, constantly blo9cking things etc. Dems could do the same unfortunately some are still voting for nominees even yes...still writing letters and "playing nice"
I refuse to believe there is no possible way to turn some of the GOP congressmen against this onslaught of lies and deceit. It might be ugly, but there has to be something...
We are past the Congress to do something! The 3rd branch of Government needs to move on trump administration not adhering to the Constitution! They need to be arrested
And this country of ours does not need the ELECTORAL college system anymore and should only need the winner of the nation's POPULAR votes to win the presidentcy etc
Many people, including me when I was younger, have found the "Litany Against Fear" in Frank Herbert's novel DUNE to be useful in settling one's mind in scary circumstances. You don't have to read the book to make use of it; it's online, easily found by Googling. Not my go-to now, but was then.
Just because we never imagined we would need to mobilize in order to save the government which belongs to us according to the Constitution doesn't mean we're not up for the taskοΏΌ.
It's time to meet the moment and forever be the people who saved a nation.
We miss Jim Acosta on CNN immensely.
A man of great integrity and truth.
Keep on telling the American people the truth Jim...lies and misinformation will ultimately be defeated
I am a Jewish woman with a family full of autists. I know what happens to people on government lists, historically speaking. How exactly should I feel, if not afraid, about the very real possibility everyone i love is about to be disappeared, detained and experimented on and/or tortured?
I'll never believe the lies, and I'll never let fear silence me. We all need to be brave in this moment. We're not alone. We're together in this. We're strong.π€πͺπΊπ²
Our Democratic leaders are showing their true spine in all of this. Other than a vote against trump, how do you honestly put a check next to the Democratic candidate?
Please if you can help me can you help me to donate to my campaign to save my family I am trying hard to save my family they need it they can't find food during the war on Gazaπππ΅πΈπ
My fear has turned into anger. I'm so pissed by what this idiotic "regime" is doing to our government, our people, our freedom, and our country. I say we haul out the guillotine now. The gloves are coming off.
This administration is petitioning industry for more deregulation, gutting protections in the process. Let's use their portal instead to demand fairness and safety. At https://www.submitrelentlessly.org there are submissions already prepared that need only be copied into this government webform. Flood them!
At the rate things are going in the US, domestic militarization is the next step. This will be the net, linear trajectory of the current US culture wars, from failure to intervene or halt MAGA! Mark my words! If obedience isnβt achieved, this is where theyβll take it!
I haven't reached scared yet. Angry, very uncomfortable, and disgusted. I struggle to keep fear at bay. I'd be kind of humiliated to be scared of this geriatric pussy. So disgusting that our other elected officials appear to be even bigger pussies.
That's part of what makes me the most angry--GOP Congress just sits back and supports the cruel agenda.
The other part is that the Administration ignores court rulings and makes their own interpretations and then the Admin goes on its merry way and does what it wants w/no accountability.
We better wake the fuck up! There are no EXPERTS OR SERIOUS people left in this clown show administration. Nukes are real, terrorism against our country is real, weather and its consequences are real, war is real! This administration is for tv purposes only. Something real bad is going to happen
I had to verify that this was true: you now show the Gulf of Mexico as the βGulf of Americaβ.

I often wonder what percentage of Americans are actually even reading/watching news media (and of that portion that does, how many are imbibing the Fox News & imitators version of it?). Is the total 20%? 30%? Which is to suggest the media isn't going to save us, because most aren't even listening.
Awesome work, Jim, for questioning the House Republicans about the Gulf of Mexico. They totally lose it when someone asks a straightforward question and can't come up with a decent response. I couldn't stop laughing at Chip Roy; he was like that grumpy old guy yelling 'get off my lawn!'
I donβt think he would have a cult following if he hadnβt had that stupid reality show. I donβt think his cult will follow someone new. Hopefully.
"Scott Galloway, a clinical professor of marketing at the New York University Stern School of Business, issued a stern warning about the "real" possibility that Trump dies in office.."
Grifters canβt grift by promoting mainstream democracy. They can only do so by working contrarian narrative and labeling earnest democratic side as socialist/communist/nazism.
Scam and make it look patriotic. Itβs grifting disguised as politicking.
Keep speaking truth to power. Keep speaking for those who canβt, so your voice (and your guestsβ voices) will be heard by those who cannot. Loved your dogging Congress members who supported GoA.

My father, 90 years old and always a political Person asked me to quit my Engagement here on Bluesky. He is afraid, that the Military in Germany will also arrest people over here. I think the whole Situation brings the Third Reich back to his life. It still haunts my parents. #nevereveragain
Sadly, he needs to be JUST as afraid that the Military here will arrest people. They, dressed as ICE, already are. At the end of this, many people will be found to have been on the wrong side of history.
He is, he knows what is Happening and this is not easy for him because he saw this as child. His grandfather was arrested by the Nazis, but he survived.
I agree. What is scary and dangerous is that Many ICE agents are not identifying themselves.. in uniform or credentials. This is not only dangerous but illegal !
The song speaks out against racism, it speaks out against a number of things, and it topically is current today, I suppose, as it was back then in some ways. It's about being vigilant, about our freedom." 2/2 https://www.songfacts.com/facts/red-rider/lunatic-fringe
We The People...aren't scared. Pissed off at fearful journalists trying to normalize and "sane wash" an orange, deranged clown. They would never extend that courtesy to Biden because he made the mistake of being kind and having class.
In the back of my mind as I write to express my opinions, fear creeps in as well as the possibility of more widespread Gestapo tactics. Iβve never been a gun advocate but more and more I believe that the constitution, elected officials, media, can no longer afford any help to their constituents!

So what next? What do we do?

Im ready to fight and die for the future of America and her people.
Was taught my entire life how America is "good" and how we are the rule of law, yet now I see how that was a farce.
A rapist felon for President what a Joke.
America is missing its main ingredient: Bravery.
Keep your fight. We are watching.
Fear is not from God.

This is the guy behind all Trump's cruel and racist policies, lurking in the shadows and whispering in Trump's ear. His viscous racism has been evident since childhood, condemned even by his own family. While he has influence this sadism will continue.
