This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

Trump has rescinded the Biden EO that created a task force finding the children the previous Trump administration ripped away from their families and lost. There were 500 not found. The shameless horrifying cruelty has begun.

Attn: President Trump announced the withdrawal of the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement.

TikTok is banned in China. This is a Chinese company that won’t let anyone in China use it. Americans getting upset they are about to lose their preferred Chinese spying and propaganda platform are cluess. Switch to literally any other platform that isn’t owned by the CCP.

🟠 While Donald #Trump wants delay #TikTok ban in US for 90 days. We want to inform you about its real danger — spreading disinformation in huge volumes. Texty.org.ua have identified a Russian network of 2,000 #TikTok accounts created to discredit the mobilization in Ukraine. #UkrainianView

As @premthakker.bsky.social just said to me on Slack, this Trump second speech, unscripted, to the overflow hall of supporters, ranting about Pelosi, Milley, and Cheney is the REAL speech. It's the REAL him. A petty, paranoid, insecure man, obsessed with grievances and his 'enemies.'

Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund? -Each of the 5 biggest tech firms -The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI -Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM -Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring. There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.

1/ In Ukraine, no generation has known peace. From Catherine II (german princess Sophie of Anhalt-Zerbst) to putin, every era has brought war, oppression, or genocide. Ukrainians are fighting not just for survival today but for freedom that was stolen from their ancestors. #UkrainianView

The Maasai have been stewards of the Serengeti for centuries. Now they’re being evicted—by Dubai royals, wealthy tourists, and conservation groups, @mccrummen.bsky.social reports. Read one of our don't-miss stories of 2024:

The Felonious Trump uses a fellow felon to promote his idiotic agenda of annexation of Greenland. A novelist would get rejected by every publisher if they tried to write this as fiction. SMH www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-prom...

Many class members who were kicked out of the military because of their sexual orientation will be able to upgrade their discharges to “honorable” status as early as this summer. www.instagram.com/p/DEid09aNX5a/

Alright Joe Biden, it's time to use your presidential immunity and release the Jack Smith report immediately

Amid the backdrop that more than a dozen members of Trump's Cabinet are billionaires, a reminder that this is what happened to income inequality in this country once the tax rate for top earners was slashed after 1980. Trickle down does not work and top earners' priority is themselves.

Yeah, but many Americans are so dumb they thought a 1/3 lb burger was smaller than a 1/4 lb burger 🫤

This burn is epic. 🔥

Elon's chart is even more narrowly about humanitarian aid (~0.15% of the Federal Budget), which is basically all emergency food & health aid to conflict regions. To cut it is to condemn tens of thousands of people to unnecessary death in places like Ethiopia in order to save a couple pennies.

Whoa !!!

What do you think about this? 🤬

Congrats to Florida! #1 in book censorship #47 in SAT scores. Way to go! #floriduh

Great suggestion:

The President cannot change or end #SocialSecurity, #Medicare, #Medicaid, or the #ACA. Only Congress can. And YOU can affect Congress. It may seem old-fashioned, but writing your Rep or Senator can make a difference. Here’s a link to find their address. Be heard! www.congress.gov/members/find...

A short history lesson for today. You’d think the U.S. would learn, wouldn’t you?

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

Grateful for those willing to stay true to journalistic standards & reporting. Definitely worth a read & subscribing to Litman's substack (formerly of LA Times): Talking Feds Substack harrylitman.substack.com?r=3dtmf&utm_...

BREAKING: Renowned former federal prosecutor Harry Litman announces he has resigned from his role as a contributor for the LA Times. "I don’t want to continue to work for a paper that is appeasing Trump and facilitating his assault on democratic rule for craven reasons."
