If you voted for Trump, you voted for this...a fascist dictator.

Barro scores very high at the intersection of “high-profile pundit” and “I’ve never actually heard him say anything insightful”

Absolutely ridiculous. Moran stated verifiable facts that anyone paying attention knows.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

The same people who shoveled money to a settle bogus case with Trump, have now fired Terry Moran for telling the truth. No one should wonder why viewers are abandoning legacy media in droves. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

Trump and Hegseth are actively and overly turning the US military into a partisan political force in violation of the Constitution, and Republicans in Congress will say nothing as another pillar of the Republic comes crashing down.

An aspiring dictator and commander in chief is conditioning rank and file troops to boo and mock his political opponents. What could go wrong?

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Did Dedra Meero write that post?

More than 6000 scientists have signed a declaration condemning "Administration policies that undermine the NIH mission, waste public resources, and harm the health of Americans and people across the globe" www.standupforscience.net/bethesda-dec...

Lets see: Vos has been doing everything he could to destroy higher education in Wisconsin for over a decade and Evers is a former teacher and former State Superintendent for education. Hard to know who is more trustworthy on education!

this is good

Is it bad when the public can't tell our government security officers from criminals? It seems bad

They are all losers cosplaying d as tough guys.

Absolutely grotesque abuse of government power. Lying to educators in order to entrap children. No wonder they want to hide their identity.

Very courageous. Bill Cassidy betrayed his oath as a physician and put the health of the nation in jeopardy because he was afraid of a primary. That will be his legacy.

Yep yep yep. Authenticity is how you build trust - I need to believe you mean what you say, even if I don't agree w/ you 100% of the time - and trust is what leaders of all kinds (but especially politicians) have to cultivate to get shit done.

Marines in LA. Army tanks and howitzers in the streets of DC. Donald Trump’s America. And he’s just getting started.

It’s all about the photo ops for these ass clowns.

We really are sinking to new lows in this country on a daily basis. An official account of the US Dept of Defense is making political statements like this. Twitter Trolls speaking for the US military, & not one Republican in Congress will say a word because they are all cowards.

The thing is, when there is no penalty for lying to Congress, serial liars are going to lie to Congress.

First look at the new poster for Desperately Seeking Susan, ahead of its new 4K restoration to celebrate the film’s 40th anniversary 🤘 The film will be back in selected cinemas worldwide this summer via Park Circus Films

Deeply tied together. Republicans want to expand ICE, give tax cuts to billionaires, and take away people's healthcare and food in order to pay for it.

It's amazing how often I see this exact claim over years of different protests in the US. It's like a conspiracy meme.

This fucking monster is going to kill millions with his imbecilic lunacy and I solidly blame the Kennedy family for enabling him for decades.

Your tax dollars pay for just about everything a police department does, which includes generating tons of reports, dispatch logs, and video recordings. Any citizen is entitled to see those public records to understand how the government works. By @andrewfordnews.bsky.social (Published June 2020)

Reinforcing my friend @radiofreetom.bsky.social. We’re required to refused to obey illegal orders. The military is trained on that, starting in basic. It’s also unfair to National Guard and active Marines to even put them in that circumstance against fellow citizens if not a true emergency.

Profiles in Courage

In this Ohio diner, Paramount still means the network that shows Yellowstone, not a working class town south of Los Angeles. But they do know this: Watching protestors getting tear gassed on Fox News is more entertaining than any scripted TV show.

The Ethicist | Our son's lacrosse team has a hazing ritual where they report one another's housekeepers to ICE. One teammate's housekeeper got deported to South Sudan as a result. His parents want restitution since they can no longer get cleaning services for $6/hour. Should we pay them?

"It's a horror show. We're under attack in every way all the time," says Sarah Kobrin, who has worked at the National Cancer Institute for more than 21 years. "We're told we're worthless. We're told we're cheats.… They're breaking things that won't be repairable." www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Government by and for people who drink bleach.

DOGE is a failure. Promoted by conspiracy theories, nonsense and incompetence, it ruined professionalism and capability and saved nothing. economist.com/united-state... from The Economist

Provoke the locals to justify more force to provoke the locals. Its the authoritarian playbook in the streets of LA.
