Former newspaper journalist, antifascist. Never confuse what a fascist says with what a fascist does. Only fascists object to anti-fascists.

Truth is just something for Trump to lie about.

Democrats need to face that, as bad as it is, public trust in government has actually improved this year.

Granted, Trump destroyed trust with lies, but truth is still taking a back seat.

Never stop teaching, in whatever venues we may, above or below ground.

" ... the reason that we now treat headaches with Advil rather than leeches, and the reason that we now know that the Earth orbits around the sun rather than vice versa, is because more true ideas crowded out less true ideas.

The marketplace of ideas is one of the great vehicles by which our society becomes better tomorrow than it is today.

I've heard from so many younger people how they've made money in crypto, which is still just a baseless fake currency made for fraudsters like the Trump Crime Family.

Hope they know when to get out.

If you make $60,000 a year, you likely can't afford a house, kids, new car, or vacation, and have no significant savings.

Not a word on national news channels, on this or major cuts in education or at other agencies.

They own broadcast.

“The administration did not like that CDC data did not support their narrative, so they got rid of them. They didn’t like that CDC policy groups would not rubber stamp their unscientific ideas, so they got rid of them”.

The damage to the CDC is “beyond repair”.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Looks like a job for Trump and his crime busters.

I just categorically disagree that cable broadcasters should not be subjected to regulation. Spewing lies from a firehose for profit should be as illegal as selling poisoned milk.

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

What I didn't properly prepare myself for was that as the masked and armed fascists start tossing citizens into unmarked vans without license plates, they *also* take to television to opine on how patient they've been with their allegedly hateful and violent—actually law-abiding and peaceful—critics
