I’m so angry that he may get away with all his crimes. People in high places can’t just roll over as he takes our Democracy from us! We already know Republicans are spineless.
Who can recommend a site or blog that reports honest stories and editorials. Emphasis on balanced. Not owned by the same three billionaires. I’m done with the big outlets.
Unfortunately, no. They are slightly better but still aren't reliable. And they were contributing to some of the GOP talking points.
I'm just going to with Meidas Touch at this point.
No we are not. What we are witnessing is lack of enforcement of the laws against corrupt and criminal billionaires and their politician co-conspirators.
Desperate times. Millions of people are fearing for their jobs, healthcare, retirement income, children’s education, civil rights. The actual pain is so huge.
These days I literally cling to the Meidas Touch pods, short takes, Patreon Zooms and newsletters for hope.
So much talk about strategy. As I see it, one side is allowed to lie like it's part of breathing. They also own the media and the church. Let's see some strategy about that.
This makes my blood boil , if this was you or I we would already be locked up . Let’s see if he pardons his little minions from Jan 6 I guarantee he doesn’t . He doesn’t care about them and I can’t wait for them to find out how must he actually hates them lol
I am so disappointed in the DOJ and outraged with the Supreme Court. When the country needed them to quickly & effectively step up and protect democracy, it didn’t happen.
...from exactly the sources that were sanewashing Trump before the election. The people bending the knee right now were always in his camp. The only surprise to me has been those two idiots from MSNBC.
No one is above the law except Trump. He has literally thrown dozens under the bus who broke the law for him. It will be a great day in America when Trump is in prison.
He has pediophiles, rapists and con artists for his cabnent. Birds of a feather flock together. Four years of corruption will do this country in. Demand a recount.
I'm watching the news this morning. It's beyond crying. A grief like I've never experienced before. Wnd I have lost both parents, a brother, a sister, close friends, and a husband. I am out of my body.
It’s frustrating to just hear people complain and talk about what might happen… we need voices for positive change and things we can actually do now to resist this.
I’ve said for years… “the media has to stop “normalizing” Trump”… it’s the most unbelievable thing… he started out calling all media “fake news”… and for eight years, the entire media has made a specialty out of “normalizing” and “sane-washing” Trump… while he continues to threaten them… holy crap…
It's an opinion. Not marked with an author. And not a link to the article. No. Why should he get away with crimes? Seriously? More winning for the worst American? No way.
I never thought he would face any kind of justice. The rich and powerful don’t in this country. That’s why I laughed when they (Garland) say no one is above the law. Corruption runs deep.
I honestly came here as Yahoo was literally changing comments to appear Pro Trump by blocking anything against Trump. It's strange knowing a freedom you took for granted can be lost almost instantly. I hope BlueSky can allow well thought out opinions on policy and actual events.
Trump should be forced to pardon himself so that the Supreme Court can give the President the power to do anything he wants. Just like the forefathers wanted. Sarcasm intended.
Sure, let's just let him get away with everything like always. He will be coming for the media soon. Bending a knee is just a saving your own ass reflex.
Here is a better idea, how about we invest more in education so the people who voted for a criminal to be president, can have a better understanding as to why they shouldn’t have done that. Wtf
We receive an abysmal level of funding given our state GDP, and it shows. There is a massive teaching shortage, because there are just no incentives to go in debt for a teaching degree when pay isn’t enough to make up for it.
It actually isn’t in the states that matter. This is cope. I’m an educator. It’s teacher apathy, no child left behind, schools giving less funding the worst the students do on tests. My students told me I’m the first teacher they’ve had who made genuine efforts.
USA education sponsored by WWE and Fox News. They're going to be fine, just in an alternative reality. Luckily Spaceboy will save them all with his exploding rockets, self-detonating, driverless cars, and his brainchips implanted in the armed forces and prisoners. Woohoo!
Disgraceful; when Hitler came into power some of the first people sent to the concentration camps were journalists, they were scared of him, but they did their damn jobs and tried to tell the people the truth.
“But the Constitution trusts the judgment of the American people to decide whether the cases against Mr. Trump, as he has argued, were political and calculated to stop him from being elected.”
wtf?! No, no the Constitution doesn’t give the American people the ability to bestow immunity! Again wtf?!
They went back to doing their jobs. What was great abt Biden/Harris Administration is that didn't have to be on TV everyday!
They did their job & when necessary, made news.
She's back at work; Biden is at the G7 in So America.
I prefer an uneventful Pres/VP--that's not what's ahead 😱but 4 yrs of BS
Thank you for posting this. I cancelled my NYT subscription. I’m all about hearing arguments from “the other side”, but the extreme lack of logical and moral honesty in this piece was appalling. The fact that NYT validated it by publishing it was the last straw for me. So disappointing.
I hate to tell you America, your systems allowed this to happen.
It doesn't happen in other countries.
Criminals aren't allowed to become president for a start.
And we don't have an executive branch, where God only knows who can be appointed.
No political will because it benefits both sides.
God, Marc this makes me sick. He will never face justice for what he has done to this country! Not only that now he's president again! Dear God, how did we get here?
One way was by not holding those people responsible. We still have people who participated in an insurrection in our Congress. Why? That's rhetorical, I know why.
Very disappointing but that's what we get when our media are taken over by people more interested in another round of tax cuts than in honest reporting. The Grey Lady is dead.
So law and order is a myth? Except when it’s used against political enemies or opponents? We made a big mistake with Nixon which brought us to this place. Now we’re about to make the same mistake again.
Free Press and Media didn´t do their job.They are supposed to be the 4th power in a democracy, telling the truth, doing fact checking, critizing and beeing a guard rail.They all messed it up.They normalized and whitewashed Trump the stupid toddler and the result is now a grown up Tyrannus Saurus Rex
This is true. This is a result of the "Free Speech" amendment. When this was written, it should enable the people to critize their leaders and to oppose openly. It was not created for hate speech, fake news, bullying, threats and lies. The original purpos got lost. So media just entertains.
No apologies needed on this learning curve. I have to ask what words mean all the time. I do like this site and the variety. I can't figure out how to divide what I follow into categories
The NY Times are complicit in a Nazi take over off the USA. I’ll never read that rag again, nor will I accept it as a valid source. Put them out of business.
It's Fu**ing Amazing isn't it? There needs to be a running list of famous people, media personalities and businesses who are Fascist sympathizers. #TrumpisaFascist
Fun fact: they printed it to order! (Ordered on 10th, printed on 11th & delivered to me by 13th.)

🎤Trump has begun to insulate himself with loyalist that should he survive his full term he will refuse to leave the White House causing a full on constitutional crisis.
Mr. Goldstein is the publisher of SCOTUSblog, which reports on the Supreme Court. He was a longtime Supreme Court litigator and a counsel to Vice President Al Gore in the 2000 election disputes.
If you're a regular reader of SCOTUSblog, you're not surprised at this suggestion. A lot of go-along-to-get-along analysis on that site. It's pretty depressing, actually.
Why should we? Especially the state cases. I want the SOB jailed and brought to the point of poverty. I want him and his grifter family to lose it all.
I briefly thought that after the election, and if my grandfather and millions of other Americans had thought that, too, his grandchildren wouldn’t have the rights we do. Being able to give up is privilege. I’m white-passing. My grandfather never had the choice to not fight.
I believe you are absolutely correct in saying the goal of every institution is more and more (greed). But that goal is set by the people who choose the leaders. There are far too many who want more and more. I don’t know of a system that can justly make that happen.
What I learned from the election is, if you want something dine right, do it yourself.
We need movements like moms for liberty, but that advocate for what we want. Politicians just aren’t going to figure things out, without the bade telling them what to do.
I hope that you are not suggesting that Moms Of Liberty.... Are a good thing! Florida is fighting too keep them from turning our children's schools into Churches!!!!!!
I’m not. Moms for liberty is horrible, but their strategy isn’t dumb.
My point was that we need to organize at a grass roots level like they do. In other words regular people attending meetings and putting in their time to create the change they want to see.
When this happened with Labour, Labour kicked them all out. Most Facebook groups appear to be grass roots which is why they attract so many struggling Americans. Conservatives know how to fake grassroots AND crush its fruits. It's infuriating.
Freedom = nothing left to lose
Justice depends on “for whom”
A felon won POTUS with a dictator who attacked UKRAINE - we’ve been giving limited arms in the hope of ??? Nothing!! - just to delay
A sex offender may soon be AG
There was NO Justice for the poor
Then then no SC!
now not for us!
And now he is selling guitars??? WTF?? For something like, $1500!
I thought the economy was so horrible but wait to see how many Maga idiots will put their money out for it !! 🙈
To me this sort of thing is most chilling. I expected the shitgibbon to try to appoint awful people, but to see WAPO, NYT and others cave so readily fills me with dread. And the Dems...WHERE ARE THEY? Sheesh.
NYT didn’t cave; this is who it’s always been. They did the same thing with the rise of fascism in Europe and continued right through the war. NYT and Maggie Haberman handed Trump the win in 2016 with their above-the-fold “but her emails” nothingburger. The NYT is an accomplice.
Whether you think the Dems are doing enough or not, it's important to speak up and put pressure on them. Either to force them to act, or to provide cover for them when they do ("my constituents want Trump impeached so I gotta vote for it")
Democratic “leadership “ has been given to the wrong people. Nancy, Chuck, Biden, Jeffries just aren’t it. When that power was threatened by Bernie and the squad, the squashed it. Out with the octogenarian Democrats.
There are plenty of young, intelligent dems that we are ignoring. Such as:
Pete Buttigieg
Gretchen Whitmer
Amy Klobuchar
Jamie Raskin
Hakeem Jefferies
Eric Salwell
Joseph Kennedy III
Jasmine Crockett
Strong bench, time to play them.
It resonates because he is lying to you and is selling you fantasies. California, the 4th largest economy on earth, would have to double its state budget to pay for universal healthcare.
They didn't squash Bernie and they should have. Trump's populism and his "rigged" message are lifted from Sansers. Tulsi was a Bernie Stan. He's been a 5th Column for decades.
I ignore all op ed's. I'd rather read some good, deep, insightful investigative journalism than someone's whiny opinion. They could have a personal grudge, a vendetta, a craving for attention... Who gives a damn...

People need to read Timothy Snyder’s excellent book “Tyranny: 20 Lessons from the 20th Century,” which illustrates how important it is to resist creeping autocracy at every single step.
No!! He should be treated like any other indicted/convicted criminal. Maybe the cases go on hiatus while he’s in office but after 2028 it’s game on🤷🏻♂️
WTAF? "Moreover, the state cases against him invoke legal strategies that had never been used to criminalize the behavior that prosecutors charge." That is utter bullshit.
The NYTs has always felt it necessary to do the "both sides" crap because they are too 🐔 💩 to take a righteous stand. However it's an opinion piece and you know what they say about opinions, every a-hole has one.
These people wanted to “LOCK HER UP” for deleting emails. F them. Even though it certainly stopped feeling like it 9 years ago, the rule of law SHOULD still MATTER.
Awful. And this won’t help, ending the cases. Bc then it becomes ending all bad people’s cases. So no. Hold him to account so you can hold the rest to account.

Americans don't f-ing 'Obey' we follow law and order and the US Constitution.
The higher the education level, the higher the standard of living. That's a statistical fact.
Jail the felon.

Remember? Trump didn’t concede until January 7, 2021.
It doesn't happen in other countries.

And we don't have an executive branch, where God only knows who can be appointed.

Everybody talks nothing happens!
Time to wake up America and fix the mess you created.
I'm not an attorney and I thought it was nonsense.
Why would someone beclown themselves like this?

And a movement I was involved in before covid just died out post covid. The right is radicalised, galvanised. Non righties aren't, on purpose.

But in America, those dollars don't go as far, only paying for Medicare/Medicaid, whereas in Canada it's universal.
It's not perfect, but single payor systems are MUCH cheaper.

I had to get a college education to learn about The White Rose or ways that people resisted what the Nazis were doing in their countries.
The info is out there for free. But who will point you to it and teach you for free?
Way.
