The winning metaphor is that the White House Correspondents Association hired a magician instead of a comedian. Sleight of hand over speaking truth to power.

Californians: You have rights when it comes to subscription renewal   Under CA law, businesses MUST get explicit consent before charging consumers & MUST provide a clear & straightforward method for cancelling subscriptions   Don’t let mega corporations give you the run around. Know your rights.

At this time last year my 95 year old parents and I tested positive for Covid for the first time. Thanks to our vaccine and subsequent boosters, we got through it with minor symptoms and are all still here and healthy.

Former NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad: "I am convinced that the staff cuts that we saw were a contributing factor to the inability of the emergency managers to respond."

Hard to take seriously the red-white-and-blue rhetoric of freedom on a 4th of July where the US president has cut off aid to a democracy fighting for its independence against ferocious attack by a foreign tyrant.

Yes, we warned about all of it last year. Every last detail, every policy. Watched every rally speech, every interview, every campaign video. Posted thousands of clips about it all. Most completely or largely ignored by legacy media. And yes, it is going to get much worse.

They are sending roving bands of masked thugs with the stated goal of kidnapping 20 million brown people to transport them to any country they can pay to take them. All this has been cleared by The Stolen Court. This is not deportation. This is ethnic cleansing.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Trump will soon speak to the nation about the unprovoked war crime of unilateral war that he just illegally ordered. Every word out of his mouth will be a lie. He will lie about history, about intel, about Israel, and about his own interests. He will lie to ALL our faces. 🤬

Not for nothing but if Biden had done this it would be a 2 week story.

This is our country on jackbooted brownshirt thuggery. They’re kidnapping people off our streets, without cause or credentials. It’s domestic terrorism, and it’s RIGHT NOW in America. It continues until we stop them. #OnYourSide #IDissent #MAGAKidnappers

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Holy shit. India’s Foreign Secretary just shut down Trump’s claim he brokered peace between India and Pakistan. Modi told him: “There was never any discussion… about a trade deal or U.S. mediation… India has neither accepted mediation, nor does it do so—and never will.”

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

100% police instigated.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
