Leaders of both parties should be calling for Witkoff's immediate resignation after these remarks. He is a Russian patsy, a traitor, and this has just gone for too long. It is has to end.

Time to Solve Our Propaganda Problems like the Military Does A large percentage of our nation’s voters are immersed in Right Wing propaganda. What’s the solution? We should

Yes. And we also need groups of liberals to buy or start massive new media. To spread truth further than the lies are spread.

Just so people on bluesky are aware…I was very early bluesky and I very much actively followed every dog account I could find that signed up and now when I open bluesky I basically am given pure dog content straight to the brain stream every time. I am proposing everyone else do this. The end.

We shouldn't just watch next time. We need to find ways to get ppl with respect for truth owning media & in charge of it.

Ppl voted for the guy media told them wd lower grocery prices, wd deport only murderers & rapists & wd act as the Peace Candidate.

Grand plan or not, if the GOP does the stuff they want to do to end free and fair elections, we're sunk. The usual GOP playbook includes a lot of treachery.

Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

"Will Democrats make the obnoxious and unlikable Stephen Miller a key target in their midterms messaging? Will they run against Miller’s extremism and in solidarity with the vital contributions of immigrants?"

Strongly agree with @markjacob.bsky.social here:

Scoop: U.S. dismayed by Israel's Iran fuel strikes, sources say The U.S. message to Israel was "WTF."

Israeli strikes on Iranian oil storage facilities over the weekend – which triggered massive fires and killed four people – have led to a 'WTF' moment from the US, the first major disagreement since the war began

What's sad is that the US is only mad because it wanted to steal that oil.

According to @status.news, another senior journalist, reporter Scott Macfarlane, has quit CBS rather than head in the direction Bari Weiss wants to go. A big factor: the network's meek treatment of January 6th. www.status.news/p/scott-macf...

MacFarlane covered the Justice Department.

Yes. And the way that we are most stupid is by allowing our nation 2b drowned in lies from the party of oligarchs, including oil oligarchs--lies that get authoritarian con artists elected who then cater to those oligarchs in ways that harm the rest of us.

US oligarchs want it this way. They want America to be dependent on oil. It's why one of the first things Trump did after he came back into office was to shut down various green energy projects

Yes. This is easy for him to do bc Right Wing media keep praising him & demonizing Dems 24/7/365. And most media & social media are Right Wing.
