What world do we live in where a @thedailyshow.com short summarizes the pro Russian propaganda crisis within the right of this country better than the mainstream media ever has? @jordanklepper.bsky.social, by accident, has become one of the most consequential journalists of our time... 🤯

And it begins: The actual weaponization of the DoJ against this administration's political rivals. We have officially entered the fascist era of politics in America. This is a truly sad day.

This is the most dangerous thing this administration has done to date. Not only is he vastly unqualified, he has previously stated numerous times he will use law enforcement illegally. Every Senator that voted for him has willingly and knowingly betrayed their oath and the American people.

Here's a hot-take that exposes the hypocrisy of the current administration regarding individual freedom. They're the opposite of personal freedom. You must be what they want you to be or you're wrong. So sad and weak...

Having worked in Africa, I can tell you with certainty that not only will Russia and China "fill the gap" the US is leaving behind, this shift will put us decades behind in the fights to counter terrorism there and promote pro-US sentiment. We've just given up the game and it will cost us dearly.

One of the worst parts about the current administration's baseless firings (besides framing them in a way to hurt those fired, hurting American interests, and hurting innocent people worldwide) is that the Federal Government desperately needs to be reviewed for waste but these "cuts" overshadow that

DOGE is gutting services for service members and veterans, all while those who've served are still struggling with the benefits they've earned. Mark my words: Service members, veterans, and their families will suffer, and some will die due to this administration, and soon.

I'd say it's likely DOGE will tread carefully here, but based on their track record I'd imagine a gutting of the DoD is coming shortly, without thought. I have friends that are vulnerable, some of them with multiple deployments for their country still trying to serve as civilians. DoS, you're next.

Quite a change. I was never a fan of the old GOP to say the least, but the current GOP is making me nostalgic for that long-dead party.

A surprisingly honest and factual report on the current situation regarding peace talks between the US and Russia while leaving out Ukraine. Reporting like this demonstrates that there are real reporters in propaganda fronts like Fox News and should be read and shared to promote good journalism.

This is what tyranny and despotism look like The Constitution is clear that Congress shall make the laws, and the the Judicial branch shall determine their legality and constitutionality. The executive branch enacts the laws, it doesn't decide what the law is. This is an incredibly dangerous action

Another example of why the Right believe Trump is doing well: Misleading propaganda. What Fox News fails to disclose is that the crashes under the Biden administration were small private aircraft, and 3 of the crashes under this Trump administration were commercial, with almost 5x the casualties.

How should you respond when a Trump voter says "well, I didn't vote for that"? In a plain, nonaggressive tone, simple say: Yes, you did. The truth is that everything the administration is doing now was clearly stated. Project 2025 was actually printed with videos to explain it. They voted for this.

Hey @nytimes.com: When you paywall everything, despite how good a particular article may be, people that may promote your content are put in the position of pushing it to those who can't read it, frustrating everyone. Too bad. This is the last NYT article I will be promoting.

Should those concerned about businesses like the @washingtonpost.com, that ban adds critical of the administration, boycott their products? Absolutely; when corporations and billionaires put their interests above yours, put your interests above theirs. Money and power are their priorities, not you.

Another example of the weaponizing of media to misrepresent Democrats in order to demonize them. This is from the same network that claimed chants of "Hang Mike Pence!" was just political rhetoric. The only way we can fight this is having honest conversations with those trapped in this media bubble

Pretty much how I feel about "woke" now. Its meaning was always dubious, but now it's just a running joke. When people use it their position is instantly disingenuous for me.

Here's an example of why most conservative lawful gun owners reject all Democratic proposals regarding gun control. This lawsuit is idiotic. Any semi-automatic weapon can be converted to an automatic weapon with illegal modification. Going after Glock just makes them look willfully ignorant.

For those that aren't aware, the preparation of quarters like this is not handled by the SECDEF. It's done under security and occupation standards established by the DoD. This, unfortunately for taxpayers, is not abnormal.

This is the most dangerous national security event in American history and will directly contribute to a reduction in intelligence coordination with our allies, the deaths of pro-American foreign nationals, and possibly even the arrests / deaths of American intelligence assets around the world.

Our security relationship with Egypt is crucial for access, coordination, and security efforts for the region. If this report ends up being accurate, the only recourse is for the administration to halt the arms deal that is keeps Egypt in-line with western interests, sending it straight to Russia.

When will Trump supporters realize they've been fed a steady stream of lies and propaganda? When is impacts them. For example, farmers are already getting hurt due to grant cutoffs and labor shortages. MAGA is about the individual benefiting, not America, and they are beginning to feel the pain.

As someone who has spent years of their life on / adjacent to Fort Liberty (FKA Fort Bragg), I can't begin to express my anger at this change. First off, this is a subtle nod to the original namesake of the base, Confederate General Braxton Bragg, a traitor to the US (and a shitty general).

There's a bit of truth here. I'd only add that look at the style of communication in open media: It tends to be designed for outrage, views, and simple messaging.

Should progressives and liberals arm themselves? IMO, yes, but why? For protection in a world where the right view progressives and liberal as less that human. Watch this short documentary style video where left leaning gun owners share their reasoning.

If you're looking for a fascinating dive into the historical subcultures and identities of the United States, this article by @colinwoodard.bsky.social is an engrossing peek into our past and current cultural divides on immigration and other hot-button "culture-war" topics. Well worth the read.

Fox News hides propaganda in the guise of "opinion" piece that it trains its audience to accept as "plain spoken truth" to increase viewership and profits. So how can you counter this with the moderate conservatives you may know in your day-to-day life? State clear facts and cite them when needed.
