MSM is controlled by far right corporate owners. They are willingly complicit.

Independent news organizations are doing a great job but there is a large segment that is not tuned in to them.

We can help. The videos circulating of the war-less zones in Portland and Chicago are good examples.

It’s hard to know what purpose journalism serves anymore if it can’t consistently communicate to the public 1) whether something is actually happening/is a complete lie; & 2) whether something is obviously illegal or unconstitutional. And yet, here we are, in late 2025, &

I don’t know if this is in return for the jet, Qatari investment in baby face Jared kushner’s company or some other BS grift , but allowing a foreign military base on US soil seems a bad idea to me.

We are way past talking about spines.

GOP Congress and Senate members are all guilty of treason.

Just one question. I will be out Oct 18 peacefully exercising my constitutional rights to assemble and free speech.

But I wasn’t aware that Soros was paying me. Where and when do I get paid?

I don’t know Sen. Marshall but he sure sounds like a traitor to me.

"And then October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros-paid-for protest, where his professional protesters show up. The agitators show up. We’ll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully, it will be peaceful; I doubt it as well." -Senator Marshall (R) KS

Trump is waging violent war on the American citizens.
We, all of us, need to be on the streets.
We need to be peaceful because what they want is for us not to be peaceful so they can escalate even further.
And, if you are at a rally and see something, video it and get it to multiple news sites.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Turns out renaming DOD to DOW, bombing fishing boats in international waters,supporting genocide and sending the military to put down peaceful citizens supporting democracy is not a path to the Nobel Peace Prize.

I have an idea Donald:
Release the Epstein files.

The senate has passed the NDAA including anti-trans riders, anti-DEI clause and zero limitations on domestic deployment of the military.

26 Democrats helped pass this.

I may not be the brightest bulb in the pack so can someone explain this to me?
You know, the 26 Democrats part.

Antifa was an organization in Germany in the Nazi version 1.0 era. Today it’s a movement. Anyone who thinks antifa is organized or well funded is not paying attention.

I voted NO on the annual defense policy bill.

Trump is lying about chaos on our streets to deploy the military against our own citizens.

I support our troops always, but I DON'T support a President who says Democratic cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military.

The man-baby enabled and supported the genocide in Gaza. He openly called for the complete razing and the building of resorts.
Don’t give me that BS about peacemaker.
He is an evil child.

How about releasing the Epstein files?

The regime knows all this crap about rioting and burning buildings is BS.
They don’t care.
They are setting the stage for the Insurrection Act.
That will give them the power to invoke martial law and suspend elections.
I have zero confidence the courts will prevent this.

ChuckInOregon @chuckinoregon.bsky.social · 2d

Kristi Noem came to Portland, Oregon to witness and photograph the mass rioting and burning.
All she found was 10-15 peaceful protesters - one dressed in a chicken suit.

She couldn’t report the truth so now
she’s claiming Oregon leaders are hiding the terrorists and the burning buildings.

LOL.

Trump: “blessed are the peacemakers”.

Just to clarify, trump is no peacemaker. This genocide continued for months with his approval. The bombs used to blow up civilian sites came from the US.
Trump was excited to destroy Gaza to develop fancy resorts.

The self centered child is no peacemaker.

The president of the U.S. is cognitively declining, unstable, attacking American citizens and cities using the military, taking away our healthcare and our vote.

And that not the craziest and most dangerous issue.
That award goes to the GOP Congress who stands by and watches.

I know Donald Trump doesn’t read above a 3rd grade level, but apparently he has misread the meaning of the Insurrection Act.
He seems to think it’s a license to start an insurrection and then go in with the military to stop it.

One protester spit. A few are blocking an ICE vehicle. Let’s call in the Guard, the Marines and let’s bomb the shit out of them.
Let’s arrest the governor.
Trump is the escalator in this.
Trump is the terrorist.

ChuckInOregon @chuckinoregon.bsky.social · 3d

No one in Portland is setting cars on fire or spitting on officers. They are peacefully protesting around the ICE facility. Yet he wants to send in the Guard because he says the city is burning and people are rioting- which is a lie

Rage without action rots.

Many versions of this and it’s been attributed to multiple people but the message seems appropriate.

Which one is the terrorist?

The ones carrying signs questioning our government?

Or the non-uniformed , unidentified, masked people carrying weapons and grabbing children and people from their jobs, their homes and places of worship, zip tying them, often beating them, and disappearing them?
