Their ONLY priorities are attracting eyes to their advertisers, and making $$$$ from ANYONE willing to pay for that ad time - "journalism" is their role-playing in pursuit of these objectives.

We are paying CNN and MS NOW to run ads for Donald Trump right before the midterms. You and I are paying for them. And CNN and MS NOW are taking the cash while their hosts and guests say the scheme is illegal. That is the current state of corporate media in America.

Reddish Egret @ Bitter Lake NWR, New Mexico. These herons put on a show as they forage in shallow saltwater. They race back and forth, open and shut their wings, stir up sediment with their feet... (08/15/2026) #Birds, #NaturePhotography

Black-necked Stilts, mother and chicks @ Bitter Lake NWR, Roswell, NM (07/05/2026) When a Black-necked Stilt senses danger or adverse weather, they use a brooding behavior where the chicks scamper and hide completely under the parent's sheltering wings. #Birds #NaturePhotography

THIS!!!!

The same Democratic leaders who lost the White House, the Senate & House, the Supreme Court and a majority of governorships are telling progressive Democrats pushing for change to shut up because they know best how to win. Once again: Dems don't have an identity crisis, we have a leadership crisis!

The White-faced Ibis is such a visually interesting bird - the huge down-curved bill, the dark coloration with the iridescent greens, etc. (Bitter Lake NWR, New Mexico - 04/29/2026) #Birds, #NaturePhotography

Fascists don't care, because they don't have to....

Pulling this shit while the president extracts billions for his family and is currently demanding taxpayers give him $10 billion is pretty goddamned rich.

Perfectly predictable non-denial denial from an entrenched racist.

Reporter: The WH says a staffer sent that video. Are you going to fire the staffer? Trump: No. I looked at it. I didn’t see the whole thing. I gave it to the people, they posted it. Reporter: Are you going to apologize? Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. It was a take off The Lion King.

Excellent thread analyzing the evidence of "intent" - Read the full thread! CONCLUSION: "DEATH SQUAD BEHAVIOR"

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

This.

You don't have to say nice things about him just because he's dead. You can condemn violence and you should. You can wish his family well. You can express appropriate condolences. You can skip over the fact that he wasn't a good man. But you don't have to say nice things just because he's dead.
