Fun fact, the historic ocean liner USS United States has been towed from Philadelphia and is bound to be scuttled south of the Florida panhandle to create the largest artificial reef in the world.
Yes, you read that right. The United States is going to be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.
Remember when news organizations stood in solidarity when Fox News wasn't allowed in a network pool rotation under President Obama? Where are the other news organizations today?
A chilling tale where truth dies, and democracy crumbles. This week: The Art of the Steal—Donald Trump and the Demise of American Democracy. It's a 5-part descent into the systematic dismantling of a free society—educators, journalists, writers, and comedians.
If you missed Day 1, here it is...
And so we arrive here, at the precipice of something both terrifying and familiar. A leader who punishes dissent, a press that submits or perishes, and a population that has been trained to believe that only one man can be trusted to tell them what is true.
Day 3 of 5 of the series..
May #TheAssociatedPress win and celebrate with ads and stories abt the Gulf of Mexico’s history, marine life/wildlife, clean/safe water relief or restoration projects, and history of storms (that brew in its waters).
They all need to ban the White House. He love's the press he claims to hate. He's not complicated he's an infant. Wipe his ass, kiss his ass and feed him bullshit. Put him down for a nap. Done.
And the administration doesn't have the authority to rename an international body of water.
This is a factual matter that somebody should impress upon someone in the White House???
Freedom of the press is an essential part of our democracy. It allows the media to share information and hold those in power accountable, ensuring we stay informed. @newsmax.com & @foxnewscorporation.bsky.social are among news outlets to voice their support of @apnews.com
OMG if he can do that we can rename the states I hereby demand that PA Now Stands for "Petty Assholes" And Texas will now be Texass I the Rebel of Chaos jokes aside think this is Ridiculous and proof of the sad state we are in but if we keep spreading the word hopefully more get it
I think that every other news outlet should give the AP their notes and videos so the AP can publish stuff as well 😌 The community should stand together
The whole renaming of the gulf is something the Emperor With No Clothes has to do to assert that he can do anything he wants and all his servile cucks will fall in line.
Talking about you Google and those cucks in the MAGA Congress.
The Gulf of Mexico declaration certainly seems like a loyalty test to see who will fall in line when he announces martial law and suspension of the Constitution
Arbitrarily renaming bodies of water is such an absurd and pointless thing to do. The GOP lost the plot when they were spreading birther bigotry and they’ve yet to find it again.
Love it! Ridiculous this is even a thing, but this is exactly how to fight back the ridiculous. Everything dumb ass distraction needs resistance. Will someone please explain this to our senate and congress democrats?!?!
None of the other MSM are afraid of losing readership well that ship sailed. They have effectively shot their selves in the face! I am content reading real news and not the cow towing that is going on now. #fucktrump #fuckmainstreammedia
What is sad is that some holocaust survivors are scared, saying that what our administration is doing is now, is what they were seeing done in the beginning. Remember Trump said he will use military force against Americans who protest.
Every entity that is threatened or bullied with illegal actions from the thugs that took control of the WH should sue them.
Let's bury these assholes under a mountain of lawsuits.
Get this straight.
Musk/Trump believe lies, misinfo, nonsense, BS & Russian propaganda are protected free speech. Calling a body of water by its world recognized cartographic name & not what Trump haphazardly renamed it is not free speech.
Musk/Trumpian logic at work. What we do is right bc we do it
AP would have no credibility if they call it by any other name but Gulf of Mexico.
That’s real news, not fake news the felon wants. Oops I mean Krasnov.
Geezus...you cant bloody Door Dash your country back..
Theres no Uber-eats for democracy. Get up! Stop waiting for someone else to bring it to your front door. The media wont do it. The politicians wont do it. It HAS to be the people. We got your back...but the walls grow with each day.

The gaslighting is so bad right now that the Administration will claim that this did not occur and the liberal fake news media is yet again up to their old tricks.
I have the feeling it's going to be trump judges all the way for this Abominable Showman from here on out, or they will be removed and replaced - could be wrong, but it wouldn't be the first time, would it?
The right thing to do is for all competent and left leaning news organizations to BOYCOTT the White House press briefings. Trump craves the camera and will cave in to the AP very quickly.
Boycotting would still be emphatic opposition, in my opinion. A near empty press room would be a horrid look for this administration to have to explain. Trump wants to be reported on by as many outlets as possible. He would give in quickly.
All it'll do is leave right leaning publications left there to spew Trump's propaganda. We've seen this is the 1920's-1940s. It didn't work out so well
These clowns want to tear up the Constitution and install an oligarchy instead. He even called himself a king. This is why we have to fight back and punch hard! 😤
Sure, we've all seen how things go in court for trump. He was convicted of 34 felonies right before he was elected president. I'm sure he's shaking in his little gold boots. No judge can overturn a thing he says. He gets everything he wants.
How about someone do a news report about the update youtube did to the comment section 🤔 i find it suspicious. They erase my comments all the time that dont break they rules and leave the douche in the pics up. It makes me wanna have face 2 face time with the board members.
DonOld J Dickhead does not have the power to rename an international waterway so there’s that the Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico Canada will not be the 51st state and Trump will not finish his term! He’s too sick and addicted to drugs!
From a UK perspective it is so worrying that he did this in the first place. I honestly don’t recognise this version of America. How did the leaders of the free world become autocrat wannabes? I know it is draining, but please keep fighting this. He wants to normalise this shit and u can’t let him.

Trump is violating Freedom of the Press when he bans an important press organization from events just because they won't kiss up to him.
Personally I don't think we the public should watch any press events that the AP is banned from.
Yes, you read that right. The United States is going to be sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.

It's just that, for the capitalists, it was a good way of fooling society into doing their bidding.

See through the chaos, the fake danger
Show your national symbols with pride
Guard your children's education
Don’t let them divide you
Don’t let them build walls
Preserve the independence of our courts
Fight for all media outlets being banned
Fight for freedom
Talking about you Google and those cucks in the MAGA Congress.
C'mon CBS. NBC. Where is your courage? Where are your morals?
What went wrong with our society that this isn't automatic?
I'm not talking about words.
Actions are what I mean.
Not one other network has joined in solidarity with the AP
They are ALL still in the press room.
Hypothetically, if your wife got booted from a concert, would you leave, too? The press are the bad husbands who elect to stay.
