Also don't REPLY, just post so we can RT!

Some thoughts about the military parade in my hometown of Washington DC today -- specifically, the route. Military parades in DC are quite rare. But when they happen, they have always begun, symbolically and geographically, at the Capitol and moved outward. 1/

It takes a unique and special talent to "both sides" your message to this degree, @cnn.com. Not an admirable talent, to be sure, but it certainly takes some skill. If someone aligned with Democrats were making death threats, would you call it a "stern warning?" This reality warping is damaging.

Is anyone allowed on TV this week who is against going to war with Iran? I get their arguments for it, but why are those the only arguments being presented? A very large percentage of the US population, even Trump voters, are against it. So why isn’t that viewpoint being heard?

Not surprised, not shocked, still trying to keep a cool temperament. But I was taken back by this one. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/u... Where do you go after you're both sides-ing and family feuding something that hasn't happened since the fight over the Civil Rights act?

X: owned by a fascist oligarch Truth Social: owned by a MAGA oligarch Facebook/Threads/Instagram: Owned by a MAGA-friendly oligarch All of which suppress info and accounts they don’t like. But it’s Bluesky that’s the bubble? McArdle is such a lazy thinker

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”

#ProudBlue Right now, someone somewhere is being picked up by masked thugs refusing to show IDs. We don’t know who they are or for whom they work. This is NOT acceptable! Call your reps & senators. Demand Dems hold hearings, sanctioned or not, on ICE.

Congress's new crypto bill includes provisions letting tech moguls issue their own currencies, require users to only do transactions in those currencies & charge big fees on those transactions. The bill comes as Meta is trying to launch its own currency.

Once again, the contrast between how Trump's egregious abuse of the pardon power & the national freakout over Hunter Biden's pardon is stark & glaring & illustrative of the massive, unserious double standard the media applies to the two parties in American politics. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Hey @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com post How about “Trump Posts Unhinged Rant on Memorial Day, Attacking Biden, Judges, Immigrants and Democrats-Further Demonstrating His Cognitive Decline” Or do you just intend to sane wash us all the way into tyranny

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

Thanks, Trump voters.

The House GOP took a chainsaw to American working class families last night in order to make the rich richer & to add almost FOUR TRILLION to the debt. 🚨CALL THE CAPITOL NOW: (202) 224-3121 and tell your Senators to vote "NO" on Trump's Big Brutal Bullshit Bill.🚨

The “critics say” thing is the last refuge of both-sidesism, and both-sidesism is not reporting. Just gesturing at two utterances is a supplicative dance. www.stopthepresses.news/p/news-outle...

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

I don't know what this means, but I'm the one who wrote a fully updated, 624-page hurricane response plan at FEMA that took over 2 years of work and careful coordination among state and federal agencies. He could start by studying that.

Remember that several people asked Pam Bondi during confirmation SPECIFICALLY what she would do on matters pertaining to Qatar (which she did not disclose) or GEO (pertinent to the Baraka arrest). She said she'd consult top career lawyer at DOJ abt recusal. Then she fired that lawyer.

Respect new names for popes but throw tantrums over pronouns for neighbors. Got it.

If you’re upset about Trump accepting a kingdom-in-the-sky jet from the Saudi royal family you have to remember that Bill Clinton once said hello to Loretta Lynch before the 2016 election. Corruption on both sides.

Fucken piece of shit

🚨INVESTIGATION: The aviation industry's corporate clearinghouse that processes data for 12 billion passenger flights is now selling that private info to the Trump administration's immigration police, according to federal documents reviewed by The Lever. www.levernews.com/airlines-are...

The U.S. sterilized Puerto Rican women and most people haven’t heard about it. It wasn’t just about population control, it was about power. This has been repeated throughout history. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

good to see, more of this from everyone please

‘The US and European countries that tout Israel as an ally that shares their values have issued barely a word of condemnation. They should be ashamed of their silence, and stop enabling Netanyahu to act with impunity.’ www.ft.com/content/f5fd...

It will irritate me to my dying days when I think about how Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts delayed Trump’s immunity case for 9 months When he’s now ordering parties to file briefs on Trump administration emergency applications within 10 days

If you want the youth vote, you are going to have to firmly stand against genocide and injustice. It’s much easier for them to turn towards revolution than the next campaign event. A nation is built on principles and can quickly fall apart without them. Create unity through action.

11 months ago The Guardian wrote a piece exposing the anonymous white nationalist known as "Lomez" on Twitter and who ran the press that published racists books by Steve Sailer. Today, Ross Douthat granted Lomez a friendly interview in the New York Times. www.theguardian.com/world/articl...

Bezos is a pussy who sold out his customers for his orange daddy.

My suggestion for White House lawn signs.

Be kind 🐞🐛🐸🦋

Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi says she is going against corrupt judges. In case you wonder why she hasn’t gone after the *most* corrupt, Clarence Thomas, there is a professional courtesy between lawyers who take bribes.

Chuck Grassley gets called out at a town hall… "  Stop the use of the word entitlement because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥 #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

While Elon claimed to be “cutting waste” was he really just lining his pockets? youtube.com/shorts/HDygX...

Love Tim Walz.

I wonder what Jesus would say about cutting off aid to people who are starving and facing deadly diseases overseas. Would he cheer shutting down pediatric cancer research and making it easier for big financial companies to exploit consumers? Yeah, we’re really a Christian nation.

+1. My estimation of any TV host goes down if they have him on. It's all shtick, no gator.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Thank you, Connecticut. Hartford Courant - State says no to signing DEI letters edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn... Thursday, Apr 17, 2025

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

99.9% of American's don't get private-jet tax breaks. So, why should we grovel to pay the bill of those .01% over-lords?
