"Wisconsin farmers worry that Trump farm aid won't be enough" www.jsonline.com/story/news/p... "Some farmers may be looking at a very tough decision: whether they can afford to keep their farm going."

At this point, the reporters should just collectively tell the HHS senior officials, “Fuck off.” End the press call right there. This is not a matter of national security. Their jobs are not in danger. They are representing an official government policy. One that affects every single American.

A reminder - before Trump, MAGA, Musk and Fox rewrote history - that this is what the entire country agreed had happened five years ago today:

How long before U.S. heath protocols and vaccine schedules start affecting travel? Only a matter of time before traveling with proof of measles vaccine will be required to enter countries that still understand science #scicomm 🧪 #vaccines

Five years ago.

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19. More from Democracy Docket in am. www.democracydocket.com

Cross: And I just find it laughable that the party of the self-proclaimed pro-life people are celebrating cutting off funding to children…

The Trump admin has tried to chill dissent, weaken the media, & muzzle universities, law firms, corporations. Its attacks on free speech are incessant & chilling. Read my @freepress.bsky.social report documenting Trump & his year of targeting speech that isn't his: www.freepress.net/attack-on-fr...

I love you bro. Consider this a fucking warning

Guy convicted of felonies for falsifying his business records and then who pardoned many white collar criminals in return for millions of donations says he's sincerely concerned about what now?

WATCH — @jenpsaki.bsky.social : “Let’s go back to those 10 co-conspirators…” @rokhanna.bsky.social : “Some of them were at parties where you had 13 & 14 year-olds paraded naked… They did disgusting things. The Epstein class needs to be held accountable. Release the files.”

Israel continues to violate the “ceasefire” every single day since it was agreed, and without even the tacit justification of “hostages” anymore. Just daily massacres, no reason given.

The crusades were about increasing the wealth of the Catholic Church and projecting its power. Here at the cusp of the New Middle Ages, evangelicals still don’t understand that forcing people to pretend belief is abhorrent to God.

BANGER

To help counter the anti-Muslim and Islamophobic disinformation from Trump and his acolytes, I started a newsletter titled "Islam Today." And today I wrote about Jesus in Islam, and how much Muslims and Christians actually have in common. Enjoy! islamtoday.substack.com/p/jesus-in-i...

Trump bombed Nigeria on Christmas Day claiming he’s “fighting ISIS and stopping Christian genocide.” Nigerian Christians attest that the violence seen is real but not based on religious discrimination, & Trump’s framing as such makes Nigerian Christians less safe www.qasimrashid.com/p/nigeria-ch...

‪ ‪ Jack Smith is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to release the recording of his full closed-door deposition before the panel. "Doing so will ensure that the American people can hear the facts directly from Mr. Smith, rather than through second-hand accounts."

Somebody take grandpa's phone away

ICE showed up on private property without a Warrant and was sneaking around so when the one of the owners showed up he told them to get off the property and they did because they know that what they were doing was illegal and they're being watched by everyone now including Judges

By treating constituent problems as urgent and solvable, Zohran Mamdani is answering a strangely radical question: What if everyday government services actually worked? “It’s really important to us that there are fewer barriers for New Yorkers to get what they need from the government."

"Emphasizes Religion"??? They violated the Constitution by using official government accounts to post things like "We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior." Shame on you for whitewashing this lawless, Christian supremacist regime, @nytimes.com.

putting every ICE agent & admin in a mussolini jungle gym is the moderate position.

'“Nigeria reiterates that all counter-terrorism efforts are guided by the primacy of protecting civilian lives, safeguarding national unity, and upholding the rights and dignity of all citizens, irrespective of faith or ethnicity,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wrote in a statement.'

after everyone leaves and it's just you and the leftovers

NASHVILLE councilwoman Zulfat Suara, who has family in Nigeria, posts the 🇺🇸 strikes there were a “joint operation”, the violence there has targeted “multiple faiths”, and (Trump) portraying it as an effort to “save Christians” is inaccurate. Her post: www.instagram.com/p/DSusjZjkTQ...

“Miss, do you agree with the sign?” “Absolutely not. My great niece was 4 months pregnant and her fetus had no skull. And because of men involving themselves in women’s bodies she was forced to deliver the fetus… there’s a reason God created medicine.”🔥 #ForcedBirthNation

As the president outlined his plans to capture Greenland and hijack Venezuelan oil, his real agenda became obvious. It’s extortion, conquest, and theft. Remember when he was the peace president? Today's Morning Shots, from @saletan.bsky.social and @cathyyoung63.bsky.social:

The Trump administration is trying to unleash an offshore drilling plan that would jeopardize treasured coastlines including Alaska’s Arctic, the California Coast, and the Gulf. Tell the Trump administration: No new offshore oil and gas leasing off our coasts.

One confusing thing about liberal media outlets like the NY Times and CNN is that they're extremely right-wing: open.substack.com/pub/thecolum... by @ahjohnson.bsky.social

This hasn't received much attention but with 2nd seizure of oil tanker of Venezuela it will. The two tankers seized are oil China purchased. Seizures violate International Law. China has taken the issue to the UN. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

The Trump DOJ is running scared and so they're putting out this kind of dreck on social media:

It's time to leave your lucrative office job and go work at a factory, where the robots have taken all of the jobs

Reflecting wistfully on my very first national news interview on the then just-published "hockey stick" curve, which ran on CBS Evening News (anchored by the great Dan Rather ) on Earth Day (April 22) 1998. Deeply saddened by the death of CBS News. vimeo.com/70433010?fl=...

This is 404 Media's @jasonkoebler.bsky.social waving at himself through a Flock camera; one of 60 we learned was left exposed to the open internet. Not only could anyone with a link livestream it, but some admin portals were open with no login credentials required. www.404media.co/flock-expose...

Multiple social media users noticed on Monday that the 60 Minutes episode was available via the Global TV app. To view the episode, viewers need to connect to the app from a Canadian IP address. People then uploaded copies of the episode to a variety of file sharing sites and services.

Share this far and wide. TW: abuse, descriptions of torture
