Unlike CBS News, Frontline PBS ran their report recently on stories from some of the migrants sent to the notorious CECOT prison in El Salvador. Trump & his enablers can’t erase the truth about what happened. Watch the PBS piece. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

And another thing. The framing of the NYC Mayoral race in a way that excludes the one woman (Black woman) running who just happens to be the City Council Speaker and who arguably has the best resume to lead the City is giving me the ick. I was very struck by this moment in last week’s debate.

I’ve been reading about the rise of Nazism a lot and one thing that’s really clear is that Hitler at the very beginning was envisioning massive violence against Jews and others, and backfilled everything else to get there. That’s how fascism works. And it’s what MAGA is doing.

Hey please call your GOP reps and ask why they want a corrupt President who profits off the loses of others 👇🏼

The big crypto markup is still going on in the House Financial Services Committee. Rs are blocking any effort to block Trump from profiting off of crypto while in office.

dlvr.it'Unacceptable and egregious': Veterans blast Trump for goading troops to boo his opponentsIn an address at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on Tuesday, President Donald Trump once again targeted California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), former President Joe Biden and the media, urging military personnel to boo reporters in attendance as he lashed out at what he called "fake news." The president's action of inciting active-duty soldiers to boo those he sees as his opponents has been strongly criticized on social media, including by war veterans. Paul Rieckhoff, writer and a veteran of the United States Army and the Iraq War, reacted to Trump's remarks and wrote on the social platform X: "This is the most unacceptable and egregious politicization of our troops we’ve ever seen. And it’s not a one off. It’s a strategy. And one we’ll see in full and dangerous display this weekend at his military birthday parade for himself."READ MORE: 'Cannot change': 38 House Republicans send ultimatum to Senate GOP He continued: "Trump wants the world to think our great military is HIS military. And wants to coerce and manipulate troops into making them think it is too. And driving down their public trust and approval by the minute. Trump has created America’s greatest civil-military relations crisis since the Civil War. And it’s just getting started." Writer Rachel Bitecofer said in a post on X: "Trump: the mayor and the governor of LA. Marines: boooooooo. I think we know whether or not the marines are going to obey illegal orders from Trump. God help us." "Once again, deeply worried about the politicization of our Armed Forces, and concerned that this causes deeper damage to the U.S. military down the line than is immediately obvious. This is not how any president should talk to the troops. Our troops serve regardless of party," wrote Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow with the American Immigration Council. READ MORE: 'What happens in a dictatorship': Outrage as leaked Kristi Noem letter shows 'grave escalation'"This is insane. Do not normalize it. Do not normalize Trump," wrote the account Republicans against Trump as it reacted to the clip in question. Journalist Kevin Baron posted: "I warned about this years ago. Trump targets journalists and signals this to young troops. It's the opposite of how respected 4-star leaders have respected and worked with the free press. 4-star generals have apologized to me directly for careless speech that does the same." Media person Jason Kint wrote: "POTUS pointing to the free and plural press with the military as a backdrop while encouraging boos through a derogatory, discrediting term for the press is antithetical to democracy and what our nation stands for. So disappointed in all involved. It has consequences abroad, too."

Gov. Gavin Newsom: "Congress is nowhere to be found." "Speaker Johnson has completely abdicated that responsibility. The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don."

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

The current lawless administration wouldn’t be doing any of this shit if people got off their fucking couch and voted for Harris and / or hadn’t shat on Biden in an obvious effort to depress Dem voter enthusiasm

Mike Johnson and other far-right power mongers—both republicans in government and those whose dark money has purchased said republicans—claim the mantle of Christianity. But it’s not a practice of faith; it’s a political identity. (Thread)

ABC News has cut ties with its senior national correspondent Terry Moran after he posted that Stephen Miller is a “world-class hater” who “eats his hate.” Kudos to Moran for having the courage to speak the truth — and screw ABC News for not standing behind him and backing his right to free speech.

That was in March. Now we are in May and, for me, the verdict is in: Bernie is not only being tremendously unhelpful, imo, he is digging deeper into the same conspiratorialism & division as he did previously, despite all the knowledge he has about how 1) this helps Trump & 2) Russia manipulates it

He has also been a uniquely divisive figure, though, imo. He has also been fairly conspiratorial. And doesn't really examine the implications of his own arguments. For example: The 2016 primary was not "stolen;" when one argues it was, one undermines voters, particularly Black voters. . . .
