The country’s most powerful institutions are bowing to Trump.

The president has used a strongman playbook to bring universities, news organizations and law firms to heel.

That didn’t work on The Atlantic.

Trump: The Atlantic is a failing publication.
Me: Unless a publication/journalist praises Trump, it's a failing publication/journalist.

Unless you grow a backbone, find courage and realize what he’s doing to our country…

They must knock that shit off!

When institutions bowed, they brought a pen. And receipts. Go @theatlantic.com

When morons rule the world...

Make note of these institutions, corporations and businesses. They think they’ll “lose money” if they don’t bend to trumps demands? Write them and tell them WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER of the purse and WE have NO KING! When they kneel to Trump they are not serving US; they are kowtowing to Trump

People have got to stand up to this monster.

Don’t do it! You will pay later with no one to help you

amerrenaissance.bsky.social•7 days ago

Yes, @theatlantic.com

Do you get the sense that Trump is using Executive Orders because the tweets he would normally send would have more words than the platform can handle?

Thank you Atlantic. Great publication.

Disagree. Media can have a wide scope that includes pop culture. You’re also forgetting that real news organizations are the adults in the room that need to fact check. And attempt to be balanced. We have freedom of speech so anyone can call themselves news. Including X or QAnon or Fox. Pop culture

cloudygrayfox.bsky.social•7 days ago

is a driver of politics just as much as what goes on in Washington. Hip Hop and Rap tell the stories of our Black communities. If the NYT wants to cover that topic that’s a positive. If you just want to Doom scroll go for it. Not everyone wants that. A little good news with the bad is what I want.

If it’s not fact based it’s just propaganda!

lilywight.bsky.social•7 days ago

I think I'll subscribe to the Atlantic just to support them against the Orange Regime.

missamaliarules.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is the thing to do. Yes. If they are not opposing this regime…they shouldn’t get a cent. 💪🏼

catboomom.bsky.social•7 days ago

I have been a subscriber. That is very much worth the money!

royc01.bsky.social•7 days ago

I bet you to it by a few hours. Worth the money to support a free press.

oconnellmark.bsky.social•7 days ago

This is just the entertainment. Clown car frivolities. What you need to worry about are the courts. They're all we've got left.

Appeasing tyrants and bullies never resolves problems with them. They just ask for more until they have everything. Ask 1930s Poland how that went.

ducks24.bsky.social•7 days ago

And they will be sorry they did. It's called karma.

ac-h.bsky.social•7 days ago

The doubling down strategy backfired. Big time. Big props to @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social and @theatlantic.com 💪🙌💙

The orange autocrat is following Viktor Orban's playbook to transform the US into an autocracy. I recommend that everyone read up on the moves Orban made, to turn Hungary into an autocracy. You will find that Trump is mimicking those moves at an accelerated pace.

toni-70.bsky.social•7 days ago

Maybe not Autocracy but North American Technate ? This article from danish news site (have used google translate website to translate) is spot on, on what Musk and Trump are doing, but was this what Americans voted for?

It’s the Nixon replay unfolding. Break in, tapes, investigations.

It’s rolling out much faster thanks to the Editor in Chief.

nomadswingset.bsky.social•7 days ago

Worked on you though! Good job sanewashing his coup in your headlines these past months you spineless cowards.

Buffoon buckaroos! 🤬🤯

Been reading The Atlantic for many years.

Who knew I was (and they were) kinda pre-resisting in preparation for the coming end of the US democracy?!

Fuck the new (and totally screwed up) establishment!
