Jennifer Schulze's latest newsletter highlights how some of the biggest names in Chicago TV journalism over recent decades are stepping up to denounce the Trump regime's assault on Chicago. These trusted voices can make a difference. @newsjennifer.bsky.social

From 2022:

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!

Look, obviously the real fix here is impeachthemotherfucker. Maybe we can try a rule that a judge must sign off on any settlement involving the govt or a high ranking official? But it feels like the settlement bribe genie won't return to the bottle until voters start caring about naked corruption.

Can anyone confirm Heritage’s strange claim that Montpelier has no exhibits on James Madison? And also, the Constitution protected the institution of slavery in several ways, an institution that made Madison’s entire economic existence possible. Madison owned ~100 people and freed none of them.

Look here, says History PhD Kevin Roberts who leads the Heritage Foundation, if we start telling kids that James Madison owned slaves then the next thing you know they’ll start criticizing Nick Fuentes for being pro-Hitler and then the youths will be totally lost to the totalitarian world of woke.

Important context. bsky.app/profile/step...

This week's episode of "Reveal" takes a look at a Deep South county jail where guards ordered beatings, inmates who participated were rewarded, and warnings about the violence were ignored for more than a decade.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

Having a romantic relationship with an awful person who has gotten children killed with his anti-vaxx views and policies doesn’t even enter the equation for these people, it’s all a game

She had an affair with an awful, married man — who SHE WAS REPORTING ON — while she was also engaged and somehow she’s an inspiration to other journalists??? These people are such narcissistic freaks, we need to completely burn down journalism in America and remake it holy shit.

A reminder that Trump is loyal to no one. No one. He will always eventually screw over everyone.

It was in the rotation when I was writing it.

Official U.S. Government account refers to its citizens as "imbecilic morons".

Hey @juliusgoat.bsky.social, soundtrack submission for Revisionaries, Part I, The Island, if theres ever a movie made... Clint Eastwood, by Gorillaz Love the writing style, the pace, the poetic chaos.

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

I've been telling people for ten years that trump is not in any way a force for peace. this wasn't predictive. it was based on things like him vastly ramping up the drone war in his first term and dropping huge bombs just because he thought it sounded cool.

Ironically, cranberries are about the only "traditional" Thanksgiving dish whose roots can be traced to North America. Corn, squash, potatoes, even domesticated turkeys made their way to North America from South or Central America. www.si.edu/spotlight/th...

One week after Heritage’s leader made room for neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes in his political coalition, Florida adopted Heritage’s plan for public education. www.orlandoweekly.com/news/florida...

Every day there are multiple instances of blatant corruption. Our government policy is for sale to the highest bidder and every bad actor in the world knows it. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

But Trump said his tariffs don't raise prices

...omg 😂😂😂

Flight-tracking is a powerful tool for government transparency. We’ll show you how to do it.

If Trump did this ONE thing when former al-Qaeda commander Ahmed al-Sharaa was in the White House, we would have had to give him props. Instead, it was yet another humiliation.

One is a former al-Qaeda leader, the other a US mayor. Guess which was invited to the White House share.google/ErtB5cYQRbpI...

Donald Trump has not quite made being a Democrat or opposed to him illegal. But he has done everything short of that. Prosecuting Dems. Classifying groups that oppose him (Antifa) as terrorists. Deporting/blocking entry of people who criticize him. Keeping federal funds from Dem states & cities.

Want to look through Jeffrey Epstein’s documents yourself? We published a searchable database of the entire set of new Epstein files and emails. Despite Trump saying this is a scam, Trump is mentioned more than anyone else. Search for yourself here: journaliststudio.google.com/pinpoint/sea...

This is cool. COURIER has created a searchable database with all 20,000 of the files just released from Epstein’s estate. Trump's name appears in them more than anyone else, in 1,628 documents. couriernewsroom.com/news/we-crea...

Host: Paul Ingrassia saw his nomination to lead the government's whistleblower office collapse after a slew of racist text messages surfaced. But over at the White House, Ingrassia kept his job as Special Liaison to DHS, and today he has a new administration role—Deputy General Counsel at the GSA.

JD, Dan and Kash used to sing a different tune on the Epstein files

And it got her an unprecedented transfer as a sex offender to a minimum security Club Fed where she has laptop access, individual meals delivered, a puppy, and yoga class. For a habitual liar and child trafficker to get a deal like that from DOJ is pretty sweet.

The amazing thing about this admin is the corruption is so literal and so overt — in many cases, it’s just a direct transfer of taxpayer dollars to themselves and other b-villains from the show, like this is all completely normal, bc they can’t be bothered to extort corporations & interest groups

MSNBC reads letter from Virginia Guiffre's family to Republican congressmen: "As you gather with your family this season, remember that your primary duty is to your constituents. Look into the eyes of your children, sisters, mothers... When you vote we will remember your decision at the ballot box"

They’re all just looting the treasury now

Ironically, Republicans have historically suggested a very specific solution for looters

Very friendly of the times to not only lovingly review the book, but push alert the piece

This is the most glamorous opening to an article about a white supremacist flattering journalist who lied to her readers and editors while having an affair with narcissistic crank who eats roadkill, swims in sewer water, will cause children to die, and is 50 years her senior that I've ever read.

The shutdown was an excuse, not a reason, to go after SNAP. SNAP recipients have to re-apply either every 6 months or year. Onerous process, with almost no fraud. There are no shutdown-related requirement for SNAP renewal. But it would predictably result in low-income families going hungry.

...keep, ill be jumping in the shower now

“Hiding your friends as subcontractors is like playing hide the salami with the taxpayer,” said Charles Tiefer, a leading authority on federal contract law. Firm Tied to Kristi Noem Secretly Got Money From $220 Million DHS Ad Contracts

This is how the GOP operates. Top to bottom. The entire party is supported by secretive financial schemes. From propping up "grassroots" orgs to siphoning $ from the Govt, PACs, & beguiled supporters. W/o this & their structural advantage in the Senate, this party would be on par w/the green party

America's network of democratic alliances was a jewel. Never before had a great power relied on cultivating voluntary relationships, leading to the richest, most powerful country in history, and benefitting the world relative to the alternative. Then America decided to throw it away. And for what?

BREAKING: Twenty-four survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s crimes have issued an emotional and urgent appeal to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, demanding that Congress vote to release the long-awaited Epstein files. meidasnews.com/news/survivo...

Drive anywhere in America and you will find the "Trump, your favorite president did this" signs on hundreds of projects that were funded by legislation that Democrats in congress and Biden signed. Legislation Trump said was "criminal" that should be investigated by DOJ.

Gift link in thread...

Worth requoting from The Guardian: '“Every time we changed, it was like Trump would find a reason to come backstage,” Wilkes says. A Canadian contestant from 1992 recalls similar incidents.'

Read this 2020 story by the Guardian and you'll understand why the focus on Epstein scares Trump so much. Trump is a sex predator with a history of appalling behavior toward teenage girls.

Absolutely correct. So much of the discourse around restoring trust in the institutions is focused on decorum and civility theater. But why would anyone trust the institutions if, after the horror show that we are suffering through, they yet again fail to impose some measure of real accountability?

Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely
