After all the campaign speculation we are seeing, eyes wide open, a bloodless coup overtaking the us government.

We need, especially the media, to start using language which accurately reflects what is happening. This is nothing short of a purge of any perceived enemy or opponent of Trump. Any student of history knows how this can end. Let's start calling it what it is - overthrowing democratic institutions.

If the media needs a guide right now, go back and look how reporters/editors/media companies covered the criminal President Nixon. Imagine if Katherine Graham had said we need to be quiet, we need to settle law suits. Go back and look at the clips, watch Walter Cronkite protect our democracy

Well that’s reassuring and illegal

Putin Out for the Kremlin? “Gabbard's messaging has at times aligned so closely with Kremlin talking points that at least one commentator on Kremlin state media has referred to her as ‘Russia's girlfriend.’” abcnews.go.com/US/gabbards-...

Wait. She lied? Doesn’t Fox News have a problem with that this week?

The insider DC sheets keep running articles about Democrats bewailing Bidens pardon. I’m able to keep a pretty close tabs on the opinions of engaged Democrats via emails to TPM. And the actual opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of the decision. In fact, more or less universal support.

This guy worked for State Dept for ~2 months. He has no inside knowledge of anything he talks about, even as he claims he ‘watched a censorship regime grow from the inside.’ It’s all bullshit. And the absolute credulity displayed by Rogan here is why commentary & journalism aren’t the same.

Resistance HQ Bulletin 17, 12/3/24. This one is jam packed with everything you need to know about what happened on a very busy day of political maneuvering by people in both parties. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

This is controversial, it IS extreme, and we will fight this tooth and nail. Fuck this bullshit.

A judge in Dane County, Wisconsin overturned the state's conservative-backed law (championed by Scott Walker) that banned most collective bargaining among public employees. Judge Jacob Frost said part of the law "violates the right to equal protection of the laws." www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

Official order signed by judge in Delaware: "IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that pursuant to the Executive Grant of Clemency signed by Pres. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. on Dec. 1, 2024, Defendant Robert Hunter Biden has been pardoned for, inter alia, the offenses for which a jury rendered a verdict in this case"

I expect the media to provide similar scrutiny to Don jr, Eric and Ivanka’s biz deals like with Hunter. Wait. Who am I kidding?

"“Pete said he no longer believed in God and family values. He claimed he no longer wanted to seek the limelight. He said, and this quote is as clear as day, ‘I’m a fucked up individual.’”

How to cope with an increasingly turbulent world? Currently, I'm cuddling with Mabel & avoiding reality entirely.

On today's @dailybeanspod.bsky.social I'm joined by @wajali.bsky.social to cheer on the pardon of Hunter Biden, and I go over an alarming letter from Senators Warren and Blumenthal to POTUS and SECDEF about the Insurrection Act. Subscribe for free! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Rep. Richard McCormick: "We're gonna have to have some hard decisions. We're gonna have to bring in the Democrats to talk about Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare. There's hundreds of billions of dollars to be saved, we just have to have the stomach to take those challenges on."

Social Media etiquette: How to avoid coming across as a turd in your replies "Actually..." - do not mansplain. Or womansplain. Avoid all splaining. "There, I fixed it for you..." - If I wanted it fixed, I'd do it myself. "Raise your..." - fuck off. "I think you meant..." - seriously, fuck off.

Lots going on today.

The way the media normalizes hundreds of lies and then demonizes Biden is both breathtaking and illustrates the dangerous double standard applied to political parties. Or, some people never learn

Exactly what have the Democrats gotten out of being the rule of law party. The majority of Americans demonstrated they couldn’t care less

Strikes me the New Yorker story on Hegseth is exactly why Trump picked him. He’s a Trump mini me.

Can’t wait for him to see him check out the Bastille prisons. He can compare it to his person cell

When an industry can legally spend $180 million to buy 276 seats in Congress, we no longer have elections, we have auctions.

I’m thankful for my amazing wife who traveled the horrible journey of grief with me after losing our three children in a car accident. Also thankful for our amazing triplets who are 16 now, giving us the chance to love again. Happy Thanksgiving all. ♥️

No one said republican voters were smart.

Thankful for this today

(I dunno who made this image but I looooooove it)

Please remember there are billionaires spending money on outrage media to make you mad at federal civil servants instead of the Supreme Court they bought. Please save your outrage for the actual fascists.

Thanksgiving challenge! What’s something that you never thought you’d be grateful for but today you are? Me: I’m thankful for being arrested in 2014. It propelled me to get clean from a 14yr opioid addiction. Clean 10-years now. But I’m REALLY grateful for the friends and family who support me.

If you’re not worried about Russ Vought you’re not paying attention www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I don’t want to speak for anyone else but I’m *pretty* sure that people abusing fentanyl understand that it’s bad for them.

For God’s sake, another one who thinks facts actually matter.
