An excellent article in the NYTimes that belies the Trump administration rationale behind military build-up and bombing of ‘drug smugglers’ in waters off of Venezuela, citing expertise from The Steady State’s own Annie Pforzheimer and Jonathan Winer. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/u...

My state has laws on the books that make it very difficult to prosecute police officers for killing people during the course of their police work. With that in mind, I think the state legislature should pass a law authorizing state, county, and local law enforcement to use deadly force against feds

i find it so off-putting when you watch journalists interviewing politicians and you can tell they’re friendly, all in a big club that doesn’t serve the public’s interests. access journalism is the opposite of accountability journalism.

We finally know the identities of the 9 anonymous authors of the May HHS report on pediatric gender-affirming care. Surprise! It's stacked with people who make money advocating against pediatric gender-affirming care. Here's our writeup from May: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

It sure is a good thing Obama got Bin Laden, or #Felon47 would be rolling out the red carpet and cutting deals with him.

Soon it will be time for elected officials to call on the US military to stage a coup. Let's see who has the guts to do it.

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.

Murderers wined and dined at the White House should infuriate everyone, regardless of their ideology.

It was Miami Herald local reporter Julie Brown @jkbjournalist.bsky.social who actually covered the Epstein story and blew it wide open. She cared about the victims and Epstein's crimes, not access. National outlets not only didn't, they refused to. They thought it was tawdry and beneath them.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered. He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here : www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/glo...

Republicans before the vote: "Look, I know we were cool with racism, sexism, kidnapping, torture and murder, but we can't afford to screw this one up."

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Timely reminder from the original Antifa.

Every time a whistle blows an ICE agent gets a sandwich on the nose.

So - following his own logic - if someone believes Trump "has it coming", he's okay with that?!

Trump today in oval next to Saudi Prince answering a reporter on Kashoggi Murder: “Things happen”. Gee if he thinks that of the murder of an American Journalist you think Epstein commited suicide??????

I remember a time (not too long ago) that we had the collective moral decency to agree, that if a politician spoke this way to a female reporter, that would be the end of their political career.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

electric chairs for trillionaires

I still don't think we are at the point where using violence against the federal government is our only option but I'm open to having my mind changed. Fuck these guys.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“Sleep and circadian experts generally advocate for permanent Standard Time… Change between Standard Time and DST is not simply loss/gain of sleep, but rather misalignment between circadian and social clocks…”

We The People are instructing the National Guard to arrest anyone who gives them illegal orders. #WeThePeople

Monday reminder that if Hell exists Charlie Kirk and Dick Cheney are there right now.

Either the police protect us from ICE terrorists or we must defund the police. What good are they if they let us be assaulted, kidnapped and tortured?! Should be paying them to NOT protect us? Governors, mayors! Use your authority to protect the people or resign. We The People want fighters.

One third of the country supported the January 6 2021 attempted take over the government & are the same ones who voted him back in. They are traitors in my book.

Ken Burns is good at what he does, but he has a giant American Exceptionalism-shaped blind spot about certain things. This statement is something you would expect from a mediocre 8th grade history teacher, not a serious historian.

If you are a Dem thinking of running for president and your first order of business isn't putting every person involved first the current administration crime wave on public trial- DO NOT RUN.

This may be Trump's perfect social media post. A true work of art. He confirms: ✅He personally directs criminal investigations. ✅He is targeting opponents. ✅Epstein "records" exist and he knows the contents. Bonus points for connecting it to investigation of his fondness for Putin.👀

🤬🤬

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump. The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Don't even get me started on the 1996 Telecommunications Act. REV 105 forever. IYKYK.

For all the excitement over Epstein's emails it is quite remarkable how no one has quite managed to establish how a fired private high school teacher managed to amass so much money in financial markets so quickly

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.
