This is so good - @vermontgmg.bsky.social takes a stab at imagining how the US press would be covering overseas what's happening inside the U.S. right now:

This deserves to be spread far and wide because it's *accurate*. Accuracy is something missing in today's reporting. Facts can be spun, or misused, or downplayed. Plus too much media is looking for drama over accuracy. They are also afraid of trump. That needs to change.
Musk’s Sieg Heil is a shining example of where we’re at. It’s always “bUt tHE dEMoCraTs!!1!1!” from one side, and “Musk gives energetic speech at inauguration” from the other. It makes me want to tune out entirely, but I can’t.
The military would be more involved and there would be gun fire as the coup plotters tried to take over government building …. like they are doing now.
Your generosity is our lifeline. We've reached only 4% of our goal and have a long way to go. Please help us survive, evacuate, and start anew. Every donation or share makes a difference. Thank you! ❤️🫂
It would be perfect if it didn't leave out the trans genocide. Given that part is literally out of the Nazi play book, I expected to see it in this piece. But nope. Also a transphobe.
How is the MuskDOGE (Department of Graft Extraction) anything other than a “moral hazard inherent in a political system that has demonstrated a history of bailing out private firms when they engage in excess speculation”? (Project 2025 page 731)
This is the best, concise and exacting piece I have read - capturing accurately the destruction of democracy as it is occurring. It leaves me frightened and angry. Thank you for sharing.
Impressive piece. It’s incredible this has all happened so quickly and completely without even a whiff of violence or protest. People just roll
Over and comply. For a self described ‘exceptional people’, Americans are rather timid, weak and pathetic
Please help spread this message: if you live in DC, go get your friends and surround the treasury building. Draw as much attention to what is going on as possible. Contact journalists.
Our politicians are too slow to act. We need to get as many eyes on this as possible. Its time to protest.
US press fails to adequately cover anything, especially a big picture like >60yr long top0.1%/GOP fascist coup OR anything that might possibly or just slightly impede the rich getting richer faster. US press has a twitler addiction & failed to cover the rise of Erdogan, Orban, Netanyahu, etc.
Not to be paranoid, but link to Identity Theft & Assumption Deterrence Act in this webpage is no longer working?
I’m sure our ID information in federal systems is being used only by folks who’ve proper security clearances to be handling such sensitive info. 😡😡😡
The opposite of this is the nonsense on Fox: Trump hagiography, puff stories, missiles launched at ISIS, and no mention of tariffs or servers or Musk or, of course, the coup

Write all of trump’s insanity up as if
1) it were happening in another country
OR (better yet)
2) it were a Democratic President and Congress doing all of this to the country
It’ll open MANY eyes!!! 💙🇺🇸
