What's happening to CBS News is what the tech oligarchs call "parallel" strategy. Buy an existing institution, gut it, and convert it into a right-wing zombie version of itself. They are doing this to media, government, education, biotech, defense tech, etc. Some call it the "Network State."

Tolerance of traitors is self-sabotage. Imagine how much safer and more prosperous we would be if Trump and his Jan. 6 co-conspirators were in prison where they belong.

Here are further thoughts on this: Prosecuting Trump is as key to addressing the real reasons for the affordability crisis as is ending the administration’s hugely damaging policies. So are massive structural reforms. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Black American should not be given reparations for hundreds of years of slavery. Here’s why the January 6 rioters should be given reparations for a couple months in jail for committing treason

Trump would not be enabled to do all this damage if it weren't for the Republicans in the Senate who have bowed down to him. History will not forget, and voters will remember during the November elections.

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires. At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare. Perhaps you can connect the dots.

Will the media treat Trump starting a war for no reason, wasting a bunch of lives, money and military equipment ending in strategic defeat like they did Biden ending a 20 year war that was going nowhere? (Lmao no, they absolutely will not)

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

Trump is an intellectual toddler who is incapable of abstract thought. It would never occur to Trump the people of Iran should rule themselves, in a democracy. Everything is immediate and personal to Trump – he can only grasp the strong leader principle of fascism.

Trump: "I guess the worst case is we do this and then somebody takes over who is as bad as the previous person. That could happen."

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24 “I’m not going to start a war, I’m going to stop wars.” - Trump, 11/5/24

Times like these I’m so glad Merrick Garland stuck to “norms” & refused to prosecute Trump for his many crimes. Because yes—while we are facing the very real threat of global nuclear war—at least we don’t have the shame of a former president sitting in prison. Boy would that’ve been embarrassing.

so in conclusion, the state of the union is actually very bad because a man who tried to end democracy is using the government to personally enrich himself and his buddies while executing citizens and noncitizens alike

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

I think about this fact a lot that the same news publications can post content about how Musk is leading white supremacist and killed 100,000s in 2025, but then also post content on his plans for Tesla & SpaceX without mentioning fact he is leading white supremacist and killed 100,000s in 2025.
