So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

It appears that we are actively and directly involved in a major conflict between Israel and Iran which is rapidly escalating and the only thing we have heard from the admin is an obviously false denial from the Sec of State and a Truth Social post from the president about peace talks.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Obama, Trump and Biden grew US oil/gas exports, concentrating wealth and power in fossil-fuel billionaires' hands. Now here we are: "Petrostates tend to have more autocratic governments, more belligerent foreign policies, and higher levels of corruption—trends that now apply to the United States."

These ICE protests aren't just protests. They are direct actions, with strategy behind them calculated to protect our neighbors and loved ones from kidnapping and torture. Activists are debating and experimenting with and fine-tuning tactics with the goal of disrupting and delaying ICE trafficking.

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.

What has concerned me greatly for years is the suspicion that as the world overheats and resources get scarce, humanity will attempt to solve the problem with technology - culminating in an attempt to rearrange access to resources with modern weapons. THAT could end civilization, even our species.

the white house thinks brute force is, no pun intended, a trump card. they don’t anticipate pushback and they don’t know how to handle it with anything other than escalation. the issue is that each escalation is itself a gamble. if protesters refuse to back down, you’ve lost face. (1/?)

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.
