Quick question. There are still almost as many troops in LA right now as there were at the end of Afghanistan. Why exactly? Also where are the mass deportations of white illegals, like from Russia?

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

1/5 Watched @hcrichardson.bsky.social & Sen. Angus King today. Sen. King spoke of writing your Reps. & Sen. How important it is, it does make a difference. Then saw this. A lot of screen shots but a good idea. Stick to issues effecting you or those you know. Be Specific.

The people protesting this weekend were the people who cared about more than just the price of eggs. The people who were ostensibly motivated by “economic anxiety” have been utterly silent about economic implosion. Is it possible that economics was NEVER the reason they voted for that asshole? 🫢

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Andrew Tate being allowed to come to the U.S. and avoid facing trial for sex trafficking in Romania is beyond stomach-churning. This man is a HUGE influencer and uses his platform/following to further abuse women who have accused him. Now he won’t face justice, reaffirming his lies to his followers

I’m an anti war liberal. I also believe that Ukraine should repel the terrorists who have invaded their country and the entire Western (Free) World should aid Ukraine in that effort. I think those two views are consistent. Anti war means opposing and destroying invaders, bullies and terrorists.

Putin’s lifelong dream was to somehow separate the US from NATO. But how to break up a strong alliance that stood for 80 years and continued to expand? There really was only one way to do it, he figured it out a decade ago, and played the long game. Now his guy will do it.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

If you support any of this, you’re honestly just a terrible person. People’s lives are being upended and destroyed. For every 1% increase in unemployment, 40,000 people die—yet some are celebrating.

It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Sen. Joni Ernst could've torpedoed Hegseth's nomination for defense secretary. She's a military veteran and survivor of sexual assault. Hegseth was credibly accused of abuse of women, including rape. Joni Ernst's "yes" vote will make women less likely to come forward. She voted for sexual assault.

This man and a small group of capitol police officers singlehandedly saved our democracy four years ago. In November, 77 million Americans said "to hell with them" and voted for the insurrectionists. Your "Back the Blue" flags are a pathetic disgrace and your patriotism is bullsh*t.

Worth a read. Freedom of speech is centered around freedom from government interference from speech, maybe we need to think about how that’s impacting our media.

All of Trump's picks to lead health agencies have either spread anti-vaccine disinformation, opposed lifesaving public health measures during the pandemic, or promoted false health claims and unproven products. A Trump administration endangers the health of every person.

Trump's picks to lead US health agencies: HHS - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. NIH - Jay Bhattacharya CMS - Mehmet Oz CDC - Joseph Ladapo (TBC) FDA - Marty Makary (TBC) Surgeon General - Casey Means/Vinay Prasad (TBC)

Ron makes a great point: if you feel you can't report Trump critically now because you are too afraid, it is best you resign. You are compromised. Now is the time where reporters must be unapologetic. Do not let Trump scare you into submission. Do not obey in advance.

Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social

If Trump has them that intimidated then they need to retire. And MSNBC hosts piled on CNN earlier this year but their code of silence on this is gross. Have some courage and integrity. Is that too much to ask, or are you just too comfortable?

In case you need a primer explaining why RFK Jr. being the head of the HHS would be a DISASTER. 👀 ⬇️

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his anti-vax fakery was tied to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa. And he lied about it. As head of HHS, he could do much worse here. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Seven Rules for Dealing with Autocrats and their enablers. I wrote these when working with those worldwide fighting for Democracy in their nations, and they are just as applicable today with what we face in America in the coming months.

If we didn’t believe the US was worth saving we’d simply move on and ignore you. Believe in the you that we believe you can be, not the you they are telling you to be. Being brave doesn’t mean not being afraid, it means standing up to evil and injustice even when you are afraid.

You are up to date.
