a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

Slowly???

Exhausting and depressing b/c it is worse now. I found this from almost two years ago: “today we are arguing about basic facts that are objectively and easily verifiable. … We should all be greatly concerned for our democracy and societal stability.” www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Beautiful print!

They use govt accounts, employees & resources to make partisan political messages. They make partisan political speeches attacking the opposition party to troops routinely. They get pardoned when they commit crimes. They ignore the laws. There is zero congressional oversight.

Little Westerly! #nokings

“Zelensky’s tour summed up in one sentence: Putin outmaneuvered everyone again,” wrote KREMLIN pool journalist Dmitry Smirnov on Telegram. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

No Kings Day: see you soon!

Hard to believe so many in Congress support this: “Their job”, the extremism researcher Jared Holt said on his podcast, “is to make these viral clips that they can show on Fox News and scare your grandpa into thinking antifa is on the verge of a mass slaughter" www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: After Russ Vought experienced the chaotic failures of Trump’s first term, he made it his mission to ensure that a reelected Trump would not “lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.” By @andykroll.bsky.social

JD Vance said today on the TPUSA podcast that these guys were “just a bunch of kids in a chat room.” bsky.app/profile/blue...

" In 1935, Sinclair Lewis warned in his novel, It Can’t Happen Here, that when fascism comes to the US it won’t look like the European brand. Instead, it would be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. In 2025, we know that it wears a Maga hat and an Ice vest." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

interesting- "During his Apprentice days, ... Trump learned that Americans have at most a two-week attention span, so to control the conversation, you need to stage a series of two-week mini-dramas, each with high-stakes confrontations and surprises." www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Influencers and social media people calling themselves journalists are making me crazy. Where did we get so many narcissists? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” FDRoosevelt

Way to go, Wittman

More costumes! More seniors playing the ukulele! More group dance! It makes clear how insane Trump and his sycophants are.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists. Seems bad?

Dear Ted Cruz, the reason Fox News is considered "unreliable" on Wikipedia is that is IS unreliable. The reason the Heritage Foundation is blacklisted on Wikipedia for disinformation is that it DOES promote "disinformation." Scratches head. www.wired.com/story/ted-cr...

Picking and choosing whom to help is not a good way to run the government, especially when you've caused the problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/u...

"My hope is all the talent coming off the bench right now – all those who were once political bystanders and are now tracking Ice agents. Long ago, one of my teachers, the late Sam Beer, urged us to be brave. He said: “You have more friends than you know.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

We’re just a month out from Election Day in Virginia. It’s time for VA to send a message that we’re tired of Republican chaos. Make a plan to vote for @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, @jonesjay.bsky.social, and Dems up and down the ballot. Your voice couldn’t be more important.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her. Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Our visit to Berlin was sobering. How prisoners in Sachsenhausen concentration camp were identified and then treated. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sachsen...

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

It took Trump less than 24 hours to “turn a government shutdown into a weapon wielded against the civil servants he once praised and the opposing party he has long derided,” Toluse Olorunnipa and Jonathan Lemire report.

“There are very legitimate critiques about elite higher education,” he said, “but in a free society, the government doesn’t get to dictate the policies of an institution, and say that’s going to shape its relationship with that institution.” Lawrence Summers www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

On a recent trip to Czechia,our tour guide talked of when people were taught they had 42 seconds to get to a bomb shelter when alarms went off.Somehow, this history doesn't seem so far in the past. I was surprised to hear that a communist candidate is gaining popularity in their upcoming election.

I was just thinking this. If I close down all media, I bury my head in the sand. If I pay attention, I lose my mind.

Experts say the FCC commissioner's conduct—testing how far the agency can go to limit speech without ever quite formally censoring it—is flatly unconstitutional. That won't make it stop. www.wired.com/story/brenda...

"many executives believed Kimmel had done nothing wrong—“but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed.” www.commondreams.org/news/jimmy-k...

Well, how interesting... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It'd be nice if someone on HJC asked Kash whether Pam Bondi's decision to shut investigations into foreign influence peddling made the US more vulnerable to foreign bots attempting to stoke division. @raskin.house.gov

Have no fear, Republicans will bail you out at some point with a huge chunk of taxpayer money to pay you for not being able to sell your products because of their policies. Then you can post on social media that you’re voting for them because you are against socialism.

Gosh. "The Board asserted hypocritically and without evidence that President Trump would 'defy the norms and dismantle the institutions that have made our country strong.'"

A bookstore in the Petworth neighborhood reports sales are down a whopping 60% since the federal surge in D.C. began.

Domestic violence IS a crime. This is even more proof that this longtime friend of Jeffrey Epstein, convicted felon president isn't actually tough on crime.

I really need to move out of this country

"CP3 staffers have expressed shock at how little Fugate knows about the basics of his role"

So I am trying to find a place to get a Covid vaccine in Rhode Island and none of the fed or state websites to find places by zip are working. CVS doesn't have them. Hmmmmm.....
