so true, this is how we got into this mess. Citizens need to read & follow true news not entertainment news.

And what about the potentially millions of children whose lives will be affected by the shutting down of USAID? MILLIONS!!!!

This is so true. They won’t even begin to understand for at least a month and perhaps much longer. There will be lifetime ramifications and the may have dropped little bombshells in the software that can go off at any given time. All software will have to be re-written. 1/2

Trump and boy toy Musk will cost us billions of dollars and millions of people will die.

If you go outside where I am, it's beautiful. Blue skies and peaceful and nothing seems to have changed. I think they will remain blissfully unaware, by choice, until the changes can't be ignored. I have liberal family & friends who won't talk about the situation and they're aware. #Pitiful.

Any wonder when most Americans don't want the news or read a newspaper and of those that do it's FOx

Actually a good many of us do.

too few americans have any intellectual curiosity. Honestly, I am thinking they are ok with a dictator

Symbolic: Trump has ordered to ceasing of distributing new pennies to Americans. But he now has displayed a big penny on his credenza behind Resolute Desk in the Oval Office.

Too few Americans have critical thinking skills…….

Critical to heist technique is getting away before the victims realize they've been hit.

They don’t want to. It is a choice they are making. I am talking about the Dems who are not tuned in. Let the good times roll.

henryschoenberger.bsky.social•13 days ago

Hey Jen, did you or most, any attys in the media ever explain this: USC., Art. III, Sec. 3, Treason - use the T word? Or explain what: "levying war against them" means. (RHETORICAL) The role of the FOURTH ESTATE is to OBJECTIVELY CREATE INFORMED PO! IT FAILED, and there's a shit ton of complicity

ssommer642.bsky.social•12 days ago

Info landscape and they won’t care until it’s too really bad

gogs-48.bsky.social•13 days ago

As if they think the only ones to be affected will be “them.” Good luck with that.

Put our country in the place of a domestic violence case. U will see/relate to all DOGE gvnt is amplifying; our constitutional republic is experiencing a macro DV incident! We must fight as survivors of this:

Because of tunnel vision selecting their sources .

Everyone tell your story! How has this affected you?

politicalmemes.bsky.social•13 days ago

Or they don’t care because orange man lets them be racist and/or they want to see the US burn.

Have I mentioned how delightful it is to read Jen Rubin’s editorials and not support the current iteration of the Post? I seriously had to weigh my hate for the direction the paper was going with my love of her writing before canceling my subscription.
But it all worked out!

skylarkv.bsky.social•12 days ago

This is an IYKYK, in the worst possible way. SO many people don't *want* to know, so a lot of screaming into a vacuum.

annominos.bsky.social•12 days ago

Well, if they were stupid enough to vote for him...

bobbiefoleypitkin.bsky.social•13 days ago

Too many don't understand or are so overwhelmed by all the noise in their worlds. They just don't have the bandwidth to absorb the danger.

cg13.bsky.social•13 days ago

Where are the Republicans? The Republicans in Congress, in addition to being corrupt, are cowards and hacks. They are merely servants to Trump and the billionaires. Shameful and disgraceful. They all must be voted out!

josey75.bsky.social•13 days ago

Should read, "too few Republicans" or "too few Senators and Representatives"- so sick of you journalists generalising to "Americans" - only 1/3 (38%) of "Americans" voted/supported him and many, many Americans are aware but can't help if elected officials fail to control the situation...

aekellner.bsky.social•13 days ago

I call it the “Joe six pack” syndrome. Can’t be bothered with events that affect their lives, lives in a useful information free bubble, no critical thinking, no interest in actual facts, but is concerned about the price of that six pack.
