I can't remember the last time I saw U.S. major media rush so recklessly to declare a victory for Trump when there's no factual basis to suggest he's accomplished anything but lying to America and endangering its people. I mean, it's got to be days since that last happened.

Americans do not want war with Iran, and only Congress has the power to declare one. We must not allow the US to be dragged into another endless conflict. Proud to join this resolution.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come—and how much further we still have to go. It marks the moment freedom finally reached our people right here in Texas. Our people took what was withheld and built something powerful: resilience, pride, and a legacy we carry to this day. (1/2)

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

anyway CNN is reporting that Pentagon lawyers are defining the RULES OF ENGAGEMENT for the U.S. Marines against civilians in L.A. and at the same time you have Serious Journalists™ defending the suspension of a reporter for calling Stephen Miller a hateful person

this is your occasional reminder that every elite media outlet and editor that spent the last 5 years pretending Republicans were the free speech party is either a moron or a fascist and either way you should treat their every utterance with contempt

Whether it's Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference or Trump using the military to attack American citizens, both presidents crossed some dangerous red lines for democracy.

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.
