The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Wow. New Quinnipiac poll finds Trump's approval at 38-54. And note this: Trump approval on immigration: 43-54 Approval on his deportations: 40-56 Can we say Trump isn't winning on this issue yet?

This is right out of Nazi Germany in the late 1930’s & after. When, or will, the vast majority of Americans recognize what’s happening, or is it just impossible now with our right wing U.S. media??

Why would they stop?? The GOP owns virtually the entire U.S. media, but for 4-11 PM anchors on MSNBC. They rewrite events in real time for GOP benefit & to demonize Dems. Truth, & perspective, died a long time ago on right-wing media & they now control the entire US gov’t, through ongoing LIES.

THANK YOU, NEW JERSEY! I’m thrilled to officially be your Democratic nominee for governor and I am ready for the challenge. Let’s do this.

Absolutely true! And the seeds were planted decades ago in far right AM radio, then in cable TV, & then in social media platforms. We wouldn’t be here without the capture of US media & the capitulation of “centrist” & mainline national networks like ABC, NBC, & CBS. I feel like this is Pravda…

Two thirds of Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen & 1/6 was a peaceful protest cause of the re-write of events. None of this would have happened 50-60 yrs ago as media would have never allowed disinformation to be propagated 24X7X365! This is issue #1 & it informs everything!

Absolutely. The legacy media bend over backwards to push every Republican meme as they re-write events in real time to the GOP's benefit, & now, even worse, blame DEMS for the rise in autocracy that they foisted on us with their unending support of GOP memes.

I can’t believe @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social today. Seriously, Ignatius says this is a Dem issue? The party that tried 3X over 10 yrs to rationally solve immigration with a bipartisan law is blamed while the GOP, that walked away, gets off scot free! A TOTAL re-write of history & WHY we’re here.

You can, when millions of Americans have been bamboozled by right wing media on the daily & many believe we’ve been overrun with “illegals” & criminals despite their having 1/3 to 1/2 the crime rates of US citizens. We have millions unable to critically analyze the info & how they’re being played.

Think a step ahead... The entry of most, if not all, 3rd party candidates almost certainly ensures the election of ANY GOP candidate, since their coalition will follow whoever gets their nomination. This is getting so old it is comical. Examples-- Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, & more.

Fire!…Aim….Ready… Everything DJT this Admin does is for PR & to show cruelty to anyone who is not a MAGA American. It is all to justify what has been portrayed, for years, on right-wing media as an “invasion” by criminals from “shithole” countries. Americans fooled again by references to crime!

Note this well. The ICE budget is not about controlling immigration. It is about controlling American citizens. It funds authoritarianism.

This is what America voted for...The re-writing of history in real-time where a coup attempt orchestrated by DJT is recast as "peaceful protest" while 1500 convicted & sent to jail were pardoned by the man who committed this treasonous act. Just another day in America. US RW media is broken!

Just the millionth of examples of right-wing bias in the coverage of events in our US media. Every time Biden showed any sign of age or just tripped, it was a non-stop loop on right-wing media for a week. For DJT, nothing, & mainly because nobody wants the vindictive wrath of his administration.

If you think the people in masks protesting in the streets of L.A. are terrorists, but the ones in masks rounding up human beings like cattle are heroes, you’re not a patriot. You’re a fascist.

LYING has become a cottage industry among Republicans & they cover it up with fancy words like "exaggerating". The entire DOGE effort was never about improvement or efficiency. It was about CUTS & more CUTS to do what MAGA has wanted to do for decades, destroy government! Another US media FAIL!!

Absolutely correct! And all of it a response to right-wing U.S. media paving the way for DJT’s re-election by hyping an “invasion” which the GOP failed to act on & by stoking discontent on the recovering economy from a pandemic & 40+ yrs of tax cuts that has moved trillions to the top 1%.

I remember the good old days when Secretaries of Defense didn’t insert themselves unsolicited into domestic politics on a daily basis. Not what the job is supposed to be about.

📣 As of 2023, AFAICT, at least 20% of the Medicaid expansion population either doesn't have a computer/smartphone or tablet or HAS NO INTERNET SERVICE. ...which would make it a wee bit difficult to REPORT YOUR HOURS, even if the official website you have to use doesn't SHUT DOWN AFTER 9:00PM.

Beaten to death by endless right wing media demagoguery about “invasions” of “criminal” migrants, from “shithole” countries. This came about by our RW media stoking fear, propping up the GOP & DJT, who spiked 3 opportunities, over a decade, to fix immigration, but chose political gain, instead.

The media needs to go back and look at how they happily covered Trump’s campaign promises to only deport criminals and hold this administration’s fucking feet to the fire every time they try to deflect about what they’re really doing. Grow a spine and call it out.

AMEN! And they’re still cowering in the corners failing to call out what they see for fear of recriminations from him & his totally politicized DOJ.

We are ill equipped for a propaganda “war”, with the entire U.S. media under right-wing control. We wouldn’t have DJT TWICE without the daily assistance of US media normalizing & sanitizing DJT & GOP actions, & inactions.

CNN’s “Good Night, Good Luck” is 25 yrs late & it still misses the point. If u think Fox represents the “Right” & MSNBC the “Left”, you’ve so missed what has happened in U.S. media, it is farcical. There is no way “stolen 2020 election” lives for 4 yrs w/o daily RW media bias & disinformation!

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

When principles collide with personal $$ gain, this Prez & Admin will always choose the financial gain over the principles. This should be abundantly obvious to everyone but somehow is lost on many of the paycheck-to-paycheck voters that will be screwed over relentlessly by this Administration.

Absolutely true, from the awful Citizens United decision to granting immunity to DJT, this is why we’re here, fighting to prevent autocracy. Also, with a great assist from right wing media & GOP politicians along the way, including their stealing of 2 SCOTUS seats.

This is so in-American it is beyond belief. We have lost our reputation in the world, & rightly so. Sometimes, it is flat out embarrassing to be an American these days, thx to MAGA & the GOP, who are owned 100% by the 1%. 🛑 voting for Republicans!!
