AS Trump & Republican lying ramp up (is that even possible?) @startribune.com & @mprnews.org will never ever tell you how they strategically lie all the time. Why? Because one right wing Republican billionaire family owns both outlets and runs them as Republican protection rackets

no, just like they won’t write about any of the other residency fakers either, or the power and money funding PAC, etc

Anne Applebaum? Political violence? Have I got a relevant column for you!

There's a very good reason why it's a very bad idea to let anyone own 38 stations on the same network.

Whelp America. When they outlaw antifascism you’re in deep deep trouble and violence is coming from the state.

So what - Trump is going to start a real shooting civil war?

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

The same RFK Jr. who has publicly promoted/endorsed raw milk...is telling you that Acetaminophen causes autism. This man is a LIAR. He is dangerous as hell to public health and safety.

While nurses in Iowa fear for their safety and the health of their patients, their hospital system is choosing to funnel millions into busting their efforts to unionize. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social reports: trib.al/PE9RK76

The Strib doesn’t mention that the U administration advised faculty to hold classes online today instead of on campus

NYT: "For many parents, their anti-vaccination stance is part of their religious life...Almost all said that the Covid pandemic helped reinforce their views." This would be the Covid pandemic in which a vaccine saved literally millions of lives (is.gd/Xx2ErX)? Evidence is no match for ideology.

NO media outlet in MN or journalist (esp the Republican owned @startribune.com & @mprnews.org ), for that matter, will ever even mention the complete hypocrisy of the Charlie Kirk hagiography versus the treatment the Wellstone memorial received digbysblog.net/2025/09/21/r...

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

@cnbc.com will tout these home builders every day - bringing on their CEOs and flaks to pimp them - but will NEVER show you what these fraudsters are really up to hntrbrk.com/homebuilders/?

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Fitting that Charlie Kirk’s memorial is basically a Nazi rally.

If you're not familiar with QAnon conspiracy dogwhistles, then you won't know that Stephen Miller just rattled off a bunch of them in a row, including "I am the storm" and "Light out of darkness." While these sound like dumb cliches on the surface, they're coded messages to Q cult adherents.

Kirk ... was showing up armed with a string of logical fallacies, nonsense talking points, and gotcha questions specifically designed to enrage inexperienced college students so he could generate viral social media clips of himself “owning the libs.” www.techdirt.com/2025/09/17/t...

Jim Stewartson: Unfortunately this is increasingly the attitude of the regime and its followers: “We do not care if they break the law—as long as it satisfies our thirst for blood.” ... Elites begin to treat the words of the leader as superior to the Constitution. www.mind-war.com/p/the-big-st...

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

Trump and Vance’s contradictory messages on these killings: 1: Our glorious military carried out hyper-precise attacks on dastardly drug smugglers. 2: If you’re an innocent fisherman, watch out because we might kill you by mistake!

There's approximately zero chance that this was the only bribe he took www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Hakeem Jeffries after voting yes to endorse the views of Charlie Kirk: "We do not endorse the views of Charlie Kirk." Then vote no, Hakeem!

"Science of Reading" is a fraud perpetrated on the entire country by @mprnews.org teachingindangeroustimes.substack.com/p/why-massac...

The one thing that @startribune.com could do in this moment - holding Republicans accountable for their constant lying - isn't even on the table. Grove is a deeply unserious person www.startribune.com/chaotic-time...

The publisher of @startribune.com is an enormous gasbag who doesn't understand the first thing about journalism, and who constantly spouts meaningless platitudes. His paper STILL won't tell readers how Trump is an inveterate liar who will lie whenever he wants www.startribune.com/chaotic-time...

This chaos also speaks to the growing awareness of the profound corruption of the Supreme Court. The excessive H1B fee is clearly illegal according to the text of the applicable statute. But no one can have any confidence anymore that it will ultimately be thrown out.

The final stage of the Master Plan is here - the stage when people in power stop trying to hide anything, stop trying to create a pretense, and proudly declare that they "do not care" about corruption. MasterPlanPodcast.com

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. . Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.

Think about about our Tech Overlord Bros, their enormous wealth, and then how they've built a tech system that is continually failing and deliberately enables grifting and fraud.

An orthodox Jewish man named Jeremy Fistel, 44, has been charged with terroristic threats against Zohran Mamdani for calling him a terrorist, telling him to "check his beeper," & threatening that "I’d love to see an IDF bullet go through your skull." So much for decreasing political violence. 1/2

For the House - this means zero Dem votes for the CR. For the Senate - it means zero Dem votes for cloture and force Republicans to bust the filibuster. Put this entirely on MAGA to pass.

Everyday the regime crosses yet another line. Time to say No financing for fascism. No dollars for dictators. No payouts for pedophile protectors.

Angie Craig, natch

Ilhan Omar: Jamie Raskin sided with people who are "calling for the assassination of us. They are not interested in bringing us together."

Trump is a madman and the worst this guy can say is that some troops will get killed. What about the people of Venezuela???

Progressives should just embrace popular ideas is exactly the kind of thinking that convinced many progressives to support the Iraq War. And many of the same people who are advocating “popularism” today did, in fact, support the Iraq War

Do NOT rank Jazz Hampton. You are totally free to just rank two candidates for mayor. We don't need someone as mayor who seeks the destruction of the public school district in his own city!

Quite the Friday fascism dump we’re getting

This is the first rodeo for a lot of people currently under threat for having dared to criticize Charlie Kirk, even while condemning the violence against him. Here’s some advice for trying to surviving it from someone who’s been here before.

Proposed national wealth tax: applies to anyone who resides 4 months a year in the US. Assets of $10 million - 1% annual wealth tax $50 million - 2% $100 million - 3% $500 million - 5% $1 billion - 6% $10 billion - 10% $20 b+ - 15% Idea is to make it increasingly confiscatory

Dolan's a nasty piece of work, so this is on brand. He'll be in hell with Kirk eventually. www.ncronline.org/news/account...

Breaking news: Thirty-one journalists were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a newspaper complex in Yemen last week, according to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists. They say it was “the deadliest strike on journalists in the Middle East.”
