Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery. The so-called “strongmen” of the current era — Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu — are not leaders. They can manipulate public opinion and sustain their bases of power, but they have no moral authority.

A healthy democracy puts corrupt presidents in jail. Costa Rica did it three times (see attached). Brazil just did it with Bolsonaro who got 27 years! Today, former French President Sarkozy got 5 years for criminality related to his 2007 campaign. Step up USA! Reclaim the rule of law and democracy!

People are going to die because of this.

Just shut it down, it’s on the republicans

JUST IN: Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to TV Receives Whopping 6.3 Million Viewers. Plus Kimmel's return episode got 15 million views on Youtube. That means Kimmel got total nearly 22 million viewers. That is almost 5 times the ratings of Fox News's top primetime show.

more of this please more more more

Nothing will have a bigger impact than calling or emailing local Sinclair advertisers. I spent 45 years around tv stations and you should trust me on that.

There's no legal authority to do this at all. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

back during tyrant's first reign of terror in 2018 Tim Burke put together this STUNNING assembly of clips from hundreds of stations owned by Sinclair Broadcasting not a spoof or "AI", this really aired (Tim Burke then raided by FBI for embarrassing Tucker Carlson) deadspin.com/how-americas...

Fantastic interview just released with Maria Ressa. A journalist who was arrested by Duterte - the Filipino dictator (who has since been overthrown). She always gives hope. Her book is called "How To Stand Up To A Dictator."

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

You can also listen to John Lithgow read it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXR5...

From Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free" I first read it in November and I'm rereading it now. It crushing feeling the exact same things as this academic did. It's the same process.

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs. The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

JD Vance is a real disgrace. Of course, political violence is not unique to either side. We should not expect any serious effort from the White House to bring the country together. We'll have to do that on our own.

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Trump is literally this kid. youtu.be/ETfzfy0jy74?...

New from 404 Media: airlines are selling *5 billion* ticketing records to the government for warrantless searching, per new docs we obtained. ARC is a data broker owned by United, American, Delta, etc. Then sells peoples' travel info to ICE, Secret Service, FBI etc www.404media.co/airlines-sel...

America’s checks and balances aren’t working — Republicans in Congress are completely beholden to Donald Trump and the Supreme Court has been bought out by right-wing billionaires. It is on us, the people, to use our power and protect our rights.

3/ None of this is normal. If Republicans continue to view themselves as Trump's employees, instead of an independent branch charged with checking runaway executive power, the damage to our democracy will be fatal.

2/ This new rules change is just one more abdication of legislative power allowing Trump's destruction of democracy can move faster. Republicans are letting Trump seize congressional spending power; doing no oversight over his corruption.

My floor speech yesterday: 1/ The rules change Republicans are pushing through the Senate - to confirm dozens of Trump nominees with one vote - is another sign of our vanishing democracy, as the legislative branch voluntarily bends the knee to the executive.

This shit that Trump did between 1990s or earlier-2008ish coincide with exactly when Epstein was victimizing young girls and funding millions to Casablancas and Brunel. Who do you think got future executive branch secretary Acosta to give Epstein the sweet Florida deal? I think it was DJT.

Read it and do SOMETHING! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/saving-the...

It seems like federal district courts are in full revolt against SCOTUS. I've never seen such direct scathing criticism of SCOTUS like this from the bench over their shadow docket rulings quietly overturning precedent without explanation. From the Harvard decision today.

An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes. - Sun Tzu

Trump is militarizing our streets to cover up his failing legitimacy: the tanking economy, the Epstein files, and his wildly unpopular ICE kidnappings. Read our Resistance Toolkit now at bit.ly/resistancetoolkit, and share it widely. LFG rebel alliance! #WeKeepUsSafe

Sums it up

Here it is folks, still WTAF?

WTAF?

RFK Jr. has appointed Jim O’Neill, a man who's not a scientist, as acting director of the CDC. And to make matters worse, O' Neill also has deep ties to Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley’s techno-utopia movement.

Glad TIME made room for an AI industry critic on their Top 100 Leaders in AI list. “AI companies of perpetuating a ‘fraud’ on the American people, Murphy says. ‘Any talk about ethical or moral AI is just whitewash.’”

A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids. They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.
