When social media exposes traditional media’s deceit, it’s time for independent journalists to investigate why the press is backing a president who undermines free press—and is it coordinated?

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

Week 1: Violated the Constitution, ignored federal law, pardoned hundreds of violent criminals, stopped funding for cancer research, hinted at ethnic cleansing in Gaza, gave the markets diarrhea, shuttered D.E.I. programs, stopped foreign aid, withdrew from the Paris Climate Accord ...

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

trump just withdrew us from the World Health Organization (WHO) because his disastrous ineptitude didn't kill enough Americans the first time around.

A lesson from the TikTok Affair should be that bipartisan efforts to preserve U.S. national security are vulnerable to the incoming president getting bought off and switching sides for his own personal and political benefit. Not great!

Just sitting here thinking about those “price of eggs” Trump voters who are gonna get a multimillionaire Treasury Secretary who supports giving even more tax cuts to the super rich but does not support increasing the federal minimum wage. Great job. Bravo. You fucking idiots.

To see who they value, pay attention to their words. School massacres are labeled "mass shootings. Street executions are described as "officer-involved shootings." But the killing of a CEO is immediately called "terrorism."

🥂 Last night at the WH, POTUS Biden ended the night with a beautiful Irish prayer. ♥️ May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.

For the next four years…

It took four years longer than Trump planned, but the January 6th insurrection ultimately succeeded after all. This was due to three main reasons: the cowardice of feckless Republicans in Congress; the greed of all-powerful billionaires; and disinformation fed to voters by Fox News and social media.

I still check Twitter for a couple of accounts and also to see what’s trending. I was able to find out about the California earthquake there. Is there a way to check on treading news like that on Blue Sky? TIA

I just had to......🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow. No one else has made this point so clearly:

A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves. They’re about to find out.
