If you have to threaten news outlets in order to get favorable coverage, you’re doing it wrong.

“Always, always, always concentration camps are an end run around the existing legal system. These people are getting rounded up because whoever’s in power wants to do something that they can’t do using the letter of the law...”

“[ICE is] lying to Congress and the American people [about training]… Without reform, ICE will graduate thousands of new officers who do not know their constitutional duty, do not know the limits of their authority, and do not have the training to recognize an unlawful order.”

The Story People People Are Missing About The Iran War and Trump's Deadly Escalation It isn't just about civilian casulaties, high gas prices, and regional insecurity. That's all terrible. What happens when there are food shortages & a rise in terrorist attacks at home?

People should listen to @oliviaoftroye.com's sobering predictions of where this disastrous Iran War will lead and the horrific consequences that are being unleashed as a result of Trump's utter incompetence.

Is the Iran War moral? No.
Is the Iran War legal? Also no.
Is the Iran War grounded in a well-considered strategy in terms of goals that benefit the US? Again, no.
Is the Iran War taking place in the context of a network of allied relationships that have been nurtured and consulted? Yet again, no.

DOGE stole the private Social Security data of over 340 million million Americans.

THAT’S OVER 340 MILLION  FELONIES.

Which foreign government has the #epstein files? Read about the hack. 🗄️👇🏾

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

Nuremberg is currently very popular on Netflix. Gee, I wonder why . . .

Shocker.

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

Imagine spending more than $2,000 to find, report, write, edit, shoot and publish a story, especially when there’s so much AI clickbait slop you can push out to the masses for free?

Whether we want to admit it or not, the world sees all Americans as RESPONSIBLE for Trump & his sickening, stupid, cruel administration.

Makes one rethink our reaction to Germans in the time of Hitler, doesn’t it.

With empathy we never felt, before now.

Well, being in that position now, and seeing how it feels to have pure EVIL take over the government, and to see institutions & very successful organizations BOW DOWN, & the military commit obvious crimes, & media taken over..
It’s very humbling, isn’t it. How many Germans were as shocked as WE ARE?

Thoughts that scare me: How many Germans kept waiting/wanting for laws and politicians to do their jobs, guardrails, shocked at the depth of hatred in our neighbors. Not knowing how to stop the downward spiral.

Northwest Georgia showed up today.

Proud to stand alongside Sec. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social and talk about what leadership and service really mean for our communities. The energy in that room tells me people are ready for something better.

Now let’s carry that energy to the polls on April 7. #GA14

Every day is a new low.

FCC chair threatens broadcast licenses as Trump criticizes Iran war coverage Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr did not name specific networks, but his post included a reference to a Saturday morning Truth Social post from the president.

And you - CBS - will tow the line.

The orange felon has fired MAGA lunatic Ric Grenell as his disastrous Head of the John F. Kennedy Center who oversaw its destruction as well as massive cancellation of talents months before he closes it down for the foreseeable future to gut it. Guess Kid Rock wasn’t enough.

A reminder that every single member of the military who dies in the illegal Iran War sacrificed their lives whilst the convicted felon 5x draft dodger who started the war is either having lavish dinners or is on the golf course whilst both of his disgusting sons grift.

The MAGA regime is begging the UK and other nations to send their ships to help secure the Strait of Hormuz oil trade route.

I thought they said their war was already won, so why are the assholes asking the same NATO members they hate for help? Lying murderous hypocrites.

The dead schoolchildren, the dead soldiers, the gas prices, the FCC threats, the lack of justice for Trump’s and Epstein’s victims, the global instability…

Lay at the feet of Thune, Murkowski, Collins, Tillis, Cassidy, Ernst, McConnell, and every coward who negotiated with our terrorist President.

Who will be the first to take off their shoes? Across Washington, D.C., a new fashion trend has taken hold of those in Trump’s circle: embarrassingly oversized clown shoes.

Under Joseph Stalin the rule was “Don’t ever be the first to stop applauding!”

Now, Donald Trump’s men are learning the same lesson — the humiliating way. Although this time, the question is different: “Who will be the first to take off their shoes?” www.democracydocket.com/opinion/who-...

“That’s how brazen they lie when they know we’ve seen the truth… Imagine how they lie when there’s no evidence to contradict them… There is nothing more dangerous to a regime predicated on lies than witnesses who capture the truth.”

Steps in Trump war rhetoric:

1. We don’t have to play by the rules in war

2. We won the war

3. If you go by the rules I just made up we won

4. No fair

Doing systemic racism to eliminate research on systemic racism to make systemic racism easier to hide and deny.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled.

A truly extraordinary moment.

We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

Act like it.
