BillMoyers believed that speaking truth to power was the essential underpinning of the American experiment. His passing this week, at age 91, represents a profound loss for American journalism. But Bill would not want us to mourn. He would tell to fight harder than ever for journalism and democracy!

At some point universities and law firms and whatnot will figure out that they can all band together and fight this stuff successfully rather than getting picked off one by one. But right now they only do this stuff for really important things, like college football.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

Weird how all these rulings are now involving rescinding rights. It's almost as if they started with trans people, it was allowed to happen, nobody that wasn't directly affected cared, so they kept going, and now a whole bunch of people care. Odd how that works, isn't it. Some people never learn.

"The rule of law is not a given in this Nation, nor any other. It is a precept of our democracy that will endure only if those brave enough in every branch fight for its survival. Today, the Court abdicates its vital role in that effort." —Justice Sotomayor

MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF

Contrary to popular opinion, not every insane, corrupt, maniacal thing they do is calculated to distract us from a thing you think is more important. They aren’t usually playing 4-D chess here. The majority of time it is just because they’re insane, corrupt and maniacal.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

So @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social has won her case against the ABC. Now, how about ABC managers sit in court again, preferably in The Hague, for genocide apologia and warmongering? Israel/US has killed half a million ppl in Gaza, and the state broadcaster has excused it every step

There’s a mass shooting and Trump says to get over it. The GOP strips away Medicaid and McConnell says we’ll get over it. You know what? We won’t get over it. It took 43 years to get an apology for what they did to the Japanese American community. But we got one. We will persist. Count on it.

They’re lying about Medicaid cuts. They’re lying about the deficit increase. They’re lying about what they accomplished in Iran. They lie about everything. It is just a nonstop torrent of lies intended to flood the zone with propaganda.
