Hear, hear. I say that in acknowledgement of your post, but with huge sorrow that the USA has unhooked from Democracy under Trump's authoritarian rule as POTUS!

He wants to dictate what the press can say. What a university can teach. Whom a company can employ. And to whom the law shall apply. He who wants all this is not a president, But strives to be a dictator. And all who succumb are not citizens, But subjects.

PRO TIP: If you don't want to be called - a fascist - a racist - a rapist Then stop doing things that make people call you those things. It's not complicated.

Portland is an amazing city. Here’s me, @dgcomedy.bsky.social and Andy McCabe at Polaris Hall at what can only be described as an unruly antifa gathering last year.

I didn't get what I wanted for my birthday this year (release of the #EPSTEIN_PedoFiles), but I DID get 4 Yahtzees in a single game & that's better than nothing.

79. American citizen.

We've had a great start to the new school year! As we get settled, there are a few more items I'd love to add to my PreK classroom. My list includes things like books, dramatic play materials, blocks, etc. Anyone who can help out a PreK teacher? Every little bit helps🫶🏻 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Today's Distraction brought to Us By The Lying Man Baby is The James Comey Indictment Scam ! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.......

We want YOU to help us register thousands of New Yorkers to vote by redesigning the iconic I VOTED sticker. But you need to move fast. Submit your design by Friday at 6pm - and get ready to pick a winner this weekend. zohranfornyc.com/stickittotheman

The Dallas shooter was NOT anti-ICE. He was a right wing 4chan video game addicted meme-lord who was anti-immigrant. FFS! The left doesn’t do high powered weapons to kill people from afar! Mass shootings of innocent people is a power trip for WHITE DUDES!

Hillary Clinton: "When I hear people like Kennedy talking about getting back to a time where we aren't vaccinating, we're drinking raw milk - yeah, & people didn't live! I mean, this is so crazy, it's so wrongheaded, it's so shortsighted and it's going to cause deaths... it already is costing lives"

When Rishi Sunak made the Vaccine deal with Moderna as Chancellor, he had up to £530m invested in Moderna. Now Michelle Mone is desperately bringing it up. Like if you want Mone on trial. RT if you want them both facing the music.

This. All of this.

I bet the escalator worked for Zelenskyy 🤷🏼‍♂️

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

This is a true, break the glass moment. Convicted Felon, Donald Trump, has ordered his DOJ to criminally prosecute his political enemies, but his comments will bite him in the ass. I discuss this existential threat to democracy and why it’s a REAL emergency. youtu.be/crRmS5_Us-o?...

Are you okay with this, GOP? Wait, don’t answer that.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". Let's start doing something to save Democracy and depose the oligarchy!

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Canada recognises the State of Palestine

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Morning Bluesky. Lib Dem leader Ed Davey is going full-on in tackling Musk. "He [Musk] is actually, I think, committing crimes," he told Laura Kuenssberg.

Can't work out from this piece whether it's the coke, the fraud or the kicking of a police officer in the head that Liz thinks he's been unfairly demonised for. So I'll presume it's all of it.

If Tom Homan was a Democrat and a Democratic admin dropped his bribery charge, James Comer would’ve already issued a hundred subpoenas and been on Fox 75 times.

Thought for the day, as Democracy is destroyed under Trump's stewardship. "Corporate news has betrayed us all. They are enablers of fascism. They are enablers of this regime’s dictatorship. This is utterly disgusting"

Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered £8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

'Tom Homan should be in jail' “The most corrupt administration we have ever seen" is how Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D) reacted to a report that Donald Trump's border czar had accepted a $50,000 bribe from undercover agents. www.rawstory.com/tom-homan-ja...

Trump commands Bondi to prosecute his enemies based solely on their actions v him. “We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility,” Trump wrote in social media post to Bondi. “They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”

“Trump has dragged the US to the abyss and Nigel Farage would do the same to Britain” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Trump is launching a full blown attack on free speech while his harem of billionaires buys up every media platform. This is no coincidence. It’s a coordinated attack on your fundamental right to speak freely without worrying if you’ll lose your job or worse.

If the US news media had the slightest modicum of courage and journalistic integrity, they'd be listening to the warnings of Timothy Snyder — and asking the fascist fuckstick in the White House the appropriate questions and reporting on the horror that is unfolding in America. 👇
