The premise here, repeated throughout American history, is that only some kind of mental manipulation could make white people enjoy art by black people. You start acknowledging black cultural contributions as valuable it’s a slippery slope to seeing black people as people bsky.app/profile/left...

A sad state of a fair.

But what's notable is that one of Benz's anti-USAID appearances on Rogan seems to have been what first piqued Elon Musk's interest in the agency, which of course ultimately led to its destruction. 3/4

Center for Countering Disinformation💙💛 In Poland, a significant intensification of the activities of russian bot farms aimed at exacerbating Polish-Ukrainian relations is being observed.

This is a great piece that: 1. identifies the right wing cultural outrage food change, starting with an Epoch Times and White Nationalist publication, and ending with the NY Post and Fox. 2. embrace of the anti-woke claims and subsequent harassment comes from people who have never been there

questions, my shirt etc

Would you believe me if I told you it got so much worse from there

🇵🇱 The Telegraph/Onet: The US warns Russia may stage an armed provocation against Poland or the Baltics within months – from drone strikes to a border incursion. Moscow could blame GPS failure and push talks to weaken support for Ukraine. NATO may strike Kaliningrad.

Gregg Abbott has been Governor of Texas since 2015 and has spearheaded abortion bans, deaths of immigrants, & locking up immigrant kids. 📌Texans need to vote Gina Hinojosa for governor in order to protect our rights, freedoms and history. #GinaHinojosa #AbbottFailsTexas @ginafortexas.bsky.social

8. SCOTUS has given Trump legal immunity. 9. Trump is one of the most corrupt leader in the world the captive US legal system does nothing to check his personal enrichment. /5 brusselssignal.eu/2026/06/germ...

5. The Trump billionaires have bought most of US news media & lie without legal limits. 6. Various US bodies have banned at least 23,000 books for mentioning such things as slavery in the US. 7. The US has allowed a convicted felon to be elected president. /4

3. The US pursues massive gerrymandering. Only about 40 out of 435 constituencies are competitive in House elections. 4. Since the SCOTUS verdict Citizens United in 2010, unlimited amounts of dark money are allowed & hundreds of million are used. US elections are to a large extent bought. /3

1. As a US citizen, you are not automatically entitled to vote in US elections but have to register. The GOP has disqualified millions of legitimate voters on voter rolls. 2. US citizens in DC & Puerto Rico are not represented in Congress. /2

The most ridiculous claim today: Henry Olsen: "Europeans typically do not understand how deeply Americans of all parties care about free elections and democracy." Give us a break! The US, especially the GOP, is not very democratic: /1

Trumpism didn't just normalize corruption. It normalized cruelty, spectacle, and the idea that power no longer has to answer to decency. The greater damage? Convincing Americans that institutions can't be trusted, decency is for suckers, and shamelessness is a virtue. Read @zeblarson.bsky.social

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

At least they're not hiding their corruption. Go big or go home.

US cops are incapable of de-escalation. They are arrogant and entitled psychos.

Some donors who intended to give to the bipartisan, congressionally chartered America250 initiative were instead steered to the partisan, Trump-backed Freedom 250, according to a report from House Dems. The report says that could amount to "potential wire fraud and charitable solicitation fraud."

You have never laughed as hard as the Washington Post reporter who wrote this sentence.

This needs to be an ad.

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.

CNN aired a devastating montage of all the times that Trump accused others of using their public office to make money. Trump's net worth has almost tripled since he took office. Everything he accuses others of is an open admission. #cdnpoli

Oh America, you're so f**ked...

Burry:

this Pirro press conference is completely beyond parody, like a deleted scene from Idiocracy. listen to this shit

In his CNBC interview, Trump appears to acknowledge that not just he, but also his sons, are trading on insider information, and to argue that there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, it's a felony.

Newsom: I’m really proud of the data that just came out. The lowest homicides in recorded history in California. Time for updated talking points for all those with California derangement syndrome. Eight out of the top 10 murder-rate states in America are red states.

InfoWars off to quite a start

Dems accuse Freedom 250 of “corruption and self-enrichment” via methods that may constitute criminal fraud. The group was responsible for the UFC fights at the WH last month, the sparsely attended Great American State Fair, and the upcoming July 4 fireworks display. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/con...

BREAKING: A new video shows DHS lied, again, about an ICE shooting. Yesterday, ICE reportedly told police that a man “weaponized” his vehicle by “ramming” into an ICE sedan, forcing an agent to fire his gun during an operation in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Except… that’s not what the video shows.

Last year ICE said a man tried to murder a female ICE officer while she was trying to arrest him. They swore under oath he grabbed her by the neck and tried to choke her to death. He was even indicted for attempted murder. Problem is, it never happened! Bystander video unraveled the lie.

WOW. Todd Blanche IGNORES the court order to produce certain Epstein files or explain redactions, and INSTEAD claims it needs more time, and should be able to do it UNDER SEAL. We saw this deflection coming a mile away. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Brilliant. How real trolling is done.

hi hello modern slavery expert here 👋👋 requiring asylum and refugee seekers to pay back support is precisely how traffickers keep victims in debt bondage. this exposes people to even greater re-trafficking risks. is the uk government trying to stop trafficking or learn from criminals?

John Brennan to MS NOW: "I told my lawyers I don't want to sit on our hands — because if he gets away with me, he's going to continue to do this against other individuals." "That's why enough is enough and that's why today's lawsuit, I think, sends a clear signal that I'm willing to fight."
