I think to myself no fucking duh w/every one of these quotes from CEOs biz leaders.

That’s the entire problem. Trump got in WH bec no one thought an ignorant, vengeful grifter would get that far. What’s frustrating is u all think he’s the exception, when this happens all the time. Haven’t u heard of failing up? This is on all us, not on Trump.

That really pisses me off to no end. Why rnt outcries re anti-vax idiocy running HHS not include celebrities whose stupidity, self-involvement, over-extended view of their own importance like McCarthy made them think they had the right to spread dangerous nonsense? Why isn’t a/o going after her?

History is written by those who are wanting to write it. Also, there are other political groups that have power over the goal post (pssst, it's the @democrats.org). So, far, I'm not seeing that party lifting a fucking finger to stop the re-writing. They leave it to social media for public awareness.

U know why? Because u fucking Democrats did NOTHING to hold him accountable, especially by refusing to build a mssg machine to control narrative. Had Pelosi used her vast political power in Trump's impeachment for Jan 6 as she did to oust Biden, McConnell might have gotten Senate to convict Trump.

Sure, sure, Eisner. We all are confident that if u were in Iger’s position that u’d w/o hesitation protect ur entertainment assets risking the $B merger. We know not all CEOs d/n put shareholders ahem bonus over what’s right. We just c/n find such principled people in corporate world.

Sorry. Still not impressed from Schumer. This has been long-time in the making esp since the Limbaugh Fox News start. Fucking Dems IGNORED HUNDREDS of road signs over the decades. They were incredibly deluded esp must win 2024, that they could serve donors, listen to consultants instead of voters.

Uh, remember a few years ago Mitch McConnell’s wife’s sister drowned when her Tesla car ran into a body of water and she couldn’t open the door and she was frantically calling/texting?

Likely article d/n address SCOTUS. It’s a huge mistake bec the 6 cons rulings are inextricable from Trump’s actions. Academia esp legal academia needs to drag those rulings in public making it clear that because they are legally unsound, they should be viewed as having little validity for the public

3 layers of amplification of Trump talking point and why/how he dominates all of media including on the left: 1st layer is Trump answering major media’s inane questions that have no value, 2nd layer Trump’s stenographer for left @acyn.bsky.social, 3rd layer is retweet by another left/prog account.

And ur response is useless by after ten years of this.

I see only one reply here pointing out a @gagop.bsky.social senate candidate called ICE. As I suspected u all prom political journos/scholars also stay w/in ur silo when s/t it's lesser known accnts that have their ears to the ground.

Excellent, excellent, excellent. This makes the most sense of what's happening to Trump, really gels together the multiple disparate factors, including Trump's sudden preoccupation with death. Shout out to @reallyamerican.bsky.social whose video I came across that featured this thread.

I joined in the fun!

Problem is many is us have no clue what it is that weighs us down, and we don’t have a small fortune and years (decades) to spend on therapists to plod thru our childhood to find out.

Who r if not Dems in a position to launch nat’l campaign to educate the public, to call out repeatedly/block exposure to those including major media spreading dangerous lies? Why d/n the party do that? Political laziness, refusal to face current reality, and stupid belief in all out free speech.

U know AIPAC will counter by using your Muslim heritage to evoke fear/anger over terrorism, and they will succeed in “othering” u in many voters’ eyes. Make a video like this that hits hard about ur values, aspirations are the voters: peace, freedom, prosperity, family, community, etc.

Would it have really been a bother for u if ur post contained relevant info? Or is it that u think u needn’t bother because those of us who are unfamiliar w/these countries will find out from other posts?

Okay. How about not being so lazy by using the vast amt of chars u have left by including who the other two are, what country they’re from, and what the fuck is the agreement? Otherwise what is the value of ur post? Or is this post a joke?

If u journos, democratic advocates face Dems present/past failure to be proactively fighting for democracy INCLUDING campaigning in a way that reaches voters that Dems failed to do 2016/2024 so that those voters will vote them in, we can know if today’s Dems will reverse Trump dictatorship.

U know what a bigger story is that NONE OF JOURNOS R EVEN AWR OF? IF/how/when Dems WILL/WANT TO/BE ABLE TO dismantle the Trump’s ICE deportation program should Dem get back WH. I think u prom journos awa Dems not tackling today’s political event shaping the future is partly how we got Trump.

U did a lot better than Sam Seder. I had to stop watching his because he was mostly ceding to the right-wingers, and I think his was in many ways promoting the unintelligible, uninformed but dangerous beliefs that don't at all reflect reality. Why are they all young, tho?

It's not journos ur hearing. Ur hearing voices of corporate owners of @politico.com @axios.com @msnbc.com @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @postopinions.bsky.social who d/n realize how much being ultra wealthy traps them in mediocrity.

I bet that’s bec of the better than expected econ news including subdued inflation (bec tariffs not included in calcs). Trump pretends to himself Powell has no influence and the economy is all because of Trump.

This was a looooooog time coming starting w/those like Koch. The blame isn’t so much them as it is those who constantly appeased them. No diff than toddlers who push and push to see how much they can get away w/. Unfortunately Dems put leaders who gave more and more away the farm.

That’s because there has been a practice of not confronting/challenging SCOTUS rulings PUBLICLY/ACADEMICALLY that are based on flimsy legal arguments awa the inconsistency. It’s pure idiocy to make SCOTUS untouchable by the public. Now SCOTUS is Trump’s personal court.

AWA being a white supremacist, no take on Musk’s political moves is informative or useful long or social media form if it d/n include his massive drug use shaping his erratic politics. 4 $B’r starting new pol party is easy. But drugs is as big a monkey on the back for the rich as it is for the poor.

How is it that there are so many Dems like Landers who appears to be quite dedicated to, practices democratic principles are invisible going about their work they were voted in for when we have high-profile Dem leaders who are so ill-equipped to lead our country in times of democratic destruction?

Show the list to @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social and to fuckingly useless @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov. Jeffries Schumer u are wholly ill-equipped to be political leaders in the current period of our democracy being destroyed.

Why is it that it never occurs to left/prog social media accounts that Dem leaders Pelosi Coons refusing to use their full political/leg/media power in both impeachments gave GOPs in senate vast space 2b dismissive of the trials which likely led to Trump getting back in WH?

I’ve watched a number of videos on YouTube of Blacks responding to Latinos complaining at lack of support from them. “We did support u, on Nov 5, but u didn’t support us. U proudly voted for this, a convicted orange Cheeto because u d/n want a black pres. We’re done. We’re staying home and resting.”

Yup.

So, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org @senatedemocrats.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social, Trump hasn't reached ur redline, yet? Ur inaction is a huge part of why he's able to increase his authoritarian power.

Do u ever think about if Hakeem gets Speakership back and Schumer gets back Senate majority in 2026? I do. Based on their past esp this years performance I predict they will be so ineff, smugly sure of their win that they will go back to leg'g for corp donors, and lose H/S/WH in 2028. Hope I'm wrong

EVERYONE NOW: Let’s all spell P O L I T I CA L D Y N A M I C S. What does that mean? Trump/right wing would not have been able to obtain their almost complete political power w/o the actions ESP INACTIONS by the Dems. SO STOP FUCKING FOCUSING JUST ON TRUMP/GOPS. Always ask, what are Dems doing.

U mean Schumer Jefferies rnt getting yelled at over at Twitter?

The way left/prog media reports (ahem amplify by repeating, snarking, criticizing, etc.) on EVERY word Trump utters makes them almost as guilty as r-wing/major media of being key enablers of Trump's authoritarianism. Ur reporting should have evolved by now from how u reported Trump's first admin.

How about asking urself if Bongino/Patel found that Epstein was murdered, maybe the crime pointing to some connections to prominent figs, would they come out and say so and launch an investigation? Their career awa Trump’s catapulted purely on lies/conspiracies.

Didn't Tapper write two crime novels? Am I wrong in having the impression they weren't great sellers?

@usatoday.com article is garbage. D/N mention Target boycott. It's astounding how major media exhibits willful ignorance of the sheer economic stupidity of taking away econ power of 17% (blacks) 50% (women) 19% (Hispanic) of the population, that big biz knows the steep drop to their profits.

Biden tried to get thru to voters how corps were using inflation to gouge consumers. Bec of Dems willful unwillingness to invest in mssg machine as that GOPs have in r-wing media, mssg never came thru. Bec Trump is on media 24/7, he could succeed where Biden/Dems/Harris failed in this talking point.

Ahem Obama, Biden.

Huge majority of voters r ignorant. The fault is spread all around w/dem pols having large roles. But it is the pols’ crucial role to form stories for voters, ignorant or not, w/in wh/voters see th/s as having a role. That’s what r-wing media did for GOPs and gave their voters political identity.

People like to see themselves in stories. Today’s Dem leaders have no vision the way FDR LBJ did. That’s why Dems don’t tell stories in which voters see th/s. And why swing/mods/indies rnt able to place th/s w/in the party. Top Dems d/n c voters in their political vision as Bernie/AOC do.

It should be a no brainer for UK lib/prog media to show this is exactly what Dems @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social did as led by @pelosi.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com and which directly led to Trump in WH x2 and why he’s able to destroy US democracy.

This is where u need to go hard at @democrats.org @schumer.senate.gov @raskin.house.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov as a prom journo. They’re fucking doing nothing as Trump clearly is escalating. Dems need to look into Trump going after political opps b4 they get disappeared.

Miller prob knows the law. His goal is to make the blatant illegality inevitable and make most voters who are disinterested feel it has nothing to do w/them. We as society need to learn how to contain types like him, keep below radar, bec they seem to thrive/grow from these back and forths.

Article’s paywalled. But is it really that complex? Given r-wing nut jobs decades pursuit to shrink gvmt, greedy rich salivating to get hands on paid benefits, multiple investig’ns on Musk, it feels like op piece is just a filler and only contributes to multiple misdirections by major media.

Ur really not getting it, ru @democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @chuckschumer.com @kenmartin.bsky.social? U awa @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social consultants like @davidshor.bsky.social operate in world where 90% voters d/n exist. There's no evid Klein/Shor offer any path except more losses.
