giving Tina Turner vibes

Imagine starting a war abroad by blowing up a school of girls so Congress focuses on that instead of focusing on your abuse of girls at home.

Getting word of federal immigration agents operating in multiple areas around Chicagoland this morning. Rapid responders report agents took at least one person around 7 a.m. from Chicago's Hermosa neighborhood; agents were also seen in the suburb of Berwyn, though it's not clear if anyone was taken.

i love how easier life is once the futility is realized i love being nothing but a cog in the machine

Undocumented immigrants don’t vote Trump was not “exonerated” re: Epstein The board of peace is a huge grift The Melania movie was a bribe You pay the tariffs The boat bombings are murder The ceasefire is not a ceasefire Ice is not targeting criminals And on and on

An Oklahoma man tried to talk about a data center coming to his community. Police arrested him when he went a few seconds over his time limit.

@acshilton.bsky.social lolol (I'm also binge watching this show... and The Mick)

Repeat the lie. Repeat the lie. Repeat the lie. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Every fucking morning this is one of my first thoughts.

Imagine if sites that aggregate job postings used fact checkers and your time wasn't wasted applying for fake listings.

@karaswisher.bsky.social uses fact checkers. ♥️ If your news isn't checked for accuracy, it's not news.

Maybe instead of trying to sell a book called Stand you could actually stand for something. Maybe instead of going on a book tour you could be working.

Fact checker for over 5 years here - I'd be willing to take a pay cut to get the truth out and I'd be honored to work with journalists that are still doing the same. How do we make that happen?

i cant believe the party that smeared their own shit on the walls of the us capitol is acting as poor stewards of american institutions

“Trump does not respond to outrage. He responds to markets.” @profgalloway.com makes the case for a national economic strike.

Jonathan Ross had to deny Renee Good potentially life-saving medical care to protect himself. -CBS News, probably

One more thing - I had $4000 in work lined up for Jan/Feb that got cancelled by the would-be employer. This isn't an anomaly but a terrifying trend in journalism.

@thetnholler.bsky.social lookin at you - I'd LOVE to be a part of your work!

I've been job hunting for 3+ mos, hoping to stay in media research and fact checking. But I can't keep failing, so desperate times/desperate measures. I'm now applying for anything that even remotely aligns with my skillset. If you can share please do - anything helps! www.upwork.com/freelancers/...

If the past several months have taught me anything, it's that the need for a researcher and fact checker is... gone. This is America now. Thank you to everyone who voted for this. Being unemployed right now is just extra fun.

Hi! If you're a freelance fact checker-- do you belong to ASBPE or Airmedia to help find work? Or is there somewhere else you recommend? (photo of my Axel watching tv for tax) #freelance #factchecker #factchecking #factcheck #gigwork @airmedia.bsky.social

If you walk like a Nazi and you talk like a Nazi and you war crime like a Nazi... you’re probably a Nazi.

Remembering this sweet boy today, who was shot and killed by cops within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in. It was a toy gun. He was 12. 11/22/2014. Let’s say his name. 😭 #TamirRice #BlackLivesMatter #Pinks #SheShed

Release the Epstein files. Now do Homan. And Venezuelan drug boats. And the acetaminophen --> autism link. (bonus points if you can pronounce acetaminophen)

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

No one is above the law. But I am above the Constitution. by Pam Bondi

My 2-year-old was in an ICE detention facility when she turned to me gravely and asked "Daddy, why am I being deported to Honduras?" And when I told her "Because due process is too woke," she started crying.
