The president threatens death against political critics, and it doesn’t even make the front page of the “paper of record” #NYT When exactly did journalism die…’cause it appears surely dead now (Take fascism both seriously + literally or we will all pay the price by losing our democracy)

“The danger, early Americans believed, was that the rich could dominate the political sphere and turn the functioning of government to their private benefit, making government office a lucrative proposition.” Taxing the wealthy is —+always has been in US history—important to our democratic republic

How all crooks and fools leave Washington….with lawyers bills

Embarrassingly incompetent and dangerous…

A very good piece. “The fact that many men believe they no longer even have to pretend to respect women in order to participate in public life makes it unlikely that anything will change anytime soon.”

Perhaps the “mainstream media” shd treat Trump’s threats both seriously and literally !!!

BREAKING: Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time. This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

Editorial Boards have been derelict in their defense of American democracy. Credit to a local paper for standing up: @sentinelcolorado.com the first to call for #impeachment. Showing AGSulzberger & NYT, Will Lewis & WaPo, Emma Tucker & WSJ what the Fourth Estate is for. bsky.app/profile/sent...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The fact that this country’s major newspapers + other actual news (journalism) outlets didn’t have full-front pages paid to the fact that a sitting president threatened political opponents with death (and has power to do so) is an epic #fail DC and rest of country shd have come to a full stop

this morning's Fox & Friends featured commercials for Trump Watches *and* Trump-branded handguns. a level of presidential grifting that was unfathomable a decade ago.

What an embarrassing timeline this is — imagine how foolish we look to future generations… they will mock our stupidity and sycophancy to billionaires’ egos

Why are there not immediate, serious efforts to impeach + convict ?????? Nixon was bad, Clinton noxious, this….so far off the charts of anything democratic or Constitutional Do Republicans in Congress care about this country at all ? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

“Displays of symbols ‘widely identified with oppression or hatred’ in private spaces outside public view are specifically allowed under the new guidance, the document said.” So…Nazi tattoos or flags now ok if “private” ?! Please. Closeted fascists are the worst kind www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

Proving the point the lawmakers were making…

“‘He [Trump] can never be trusted with power again,’ the former Vice-President warned when he endorsed Harris. Right now, unfortunately for the nation and the world, Trump is proving to be every bit the threat that Cheney warned us about.” True

CBS is already dead, just it’s corpse remains Do not watch, let it die + remove any power + $$ it once had (ensure it’s a bad investment by those wishing to turn journalism into right-wing propaganda)

NEW: Elon Musk's Grokipedia cites a neo-Nazi website 42 times, researchers say www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-mu...

Telling: racism is ok… but “anti-racism” is not

Racist, false + vile

While individual liberties are being trampled across the USA every damn day by Trump regime… admin has zero credibility or enduring global influence now (except in pushing long-time allies, friends + partners away and helping China’s power quest)

China

These idiots destroyed what The Economist just a year ago called "The American Economy: The Envy of the World" and said we could "expect that to continue." What are we waiting for? Them to leave office?

Corruption

“The JAG at SOUTHCOM specifically expressed concern that strikes against people on boats in the Caribbean Sea + the eastern Pacific Ocean, whom administration officials call ‘narco-terrorists,’ cld amount to extrajudicial killings…therefore legally expose service members involved in the operations.”

RFK Jr had committed to Bill Cassidy, as a condition to win his vote, that he would keep website language. Cassidy in February: “If confirmed… CDC will not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.” Note the language in second photo.

Stephen Miller said the Chicago building was “filled with TdA terrorists.” DOJ prosecutors have not filed criminal charges or shown evidence that anyone arrested in the raid belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang. With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social & @blockclubchi.bsky.social

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Reflects the fact that US elite class remains dominated by wealthy, white males, too many of whom are scrambling to keep hold of their uber-privileged, often unaccountable, elite status by excluding others… fearing and thus abusing + pushing everyone else down

This is who is willing to dine with a murderer who had a US-based journalist + Saudi dissident sawed into pieces (gift link): America’s corporate + #tech elite Includes head of #Apple, #OpenAI #IBM #Tesla #Nvidia #Dell #Ford #GM #Paramount and others www.nytimes.com/2025/11/18/u...

“A handful of families and kleptocrats control more wealth than the majority of humans on this earth. And as a consequence, they set the rules by which the rest of us live…and where it suits them, they violate those rules if only to prove to us that they are different.”

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...

Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:

Their “challenge” is not political but moral + ethical — their lack of any morals or ethics

Donald Trump is clearly willing to do whatever it takes to stay in power, regardless of what the Constitution says. He “has always told us exactly who he is,” J. Michael Luttig argues. “We have just not wanted to believe him. But we must believe him now.”

Massachusetts drivers are being tracked and their data is being shared nationwide — thanks to police using license plate readers (LPRs) made by Flock and other tech companies. Does your local police department use LPRs? Take action to find out: mobilize.aclum.org/a/email-your...

Why is anyone still on that decrepit, hate-mongering site? Take your time, data + influence elsewhere - starve the hate machine rather than feed it

Tyrannical + corrupt

This is doing something — standing up for + articulating values, taking a clear stand against tyranny + immoral acts being committed by govt officials What the Trump regime is doing is wrong, as are their supporters if not condemning it www.instagram.com/reel/DRC_-rz...

“…gives the reader an ominously clear view of the step-by-step buildup to Nazism, and all of the moments it could have been stopped, but wasn’t.” This is what the Senate 8 don’t get — can’t appease those aiming to destroy democracy…but must meet the moment + threat www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

This is important context from Julie K. Brown. With alt text.

People do care…but our Congressional representatives are in on it or too meek to fight for our democracy + against the corruption (Congress being the peaceful, democratic way to respond; alternatives tend to be less so, which is why they shd do their damn jobs)

NYT: “President Trump has been dining with billionaires and has taken a keen interest in crises overseas, leading to fears that he is drifting away from his more populist stances.” Seriously ?!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

If believe the other side to be tyrannical, appeasement will make one worse off… (could still kill filibuster any time)

“Trauma” was the objective…sadly the result for many

“‘This rises above politics and partisanship,’ remarked one bishop on the floor, emphasizing that protecting immigrants is not partisan — it’s basic Christianity.”

House could have been working on these matters the entire time…and were being paid to do so… but Rs refused to work as leverage in shutdown fight
