Yeah this seems to be the pattern for her

It would be really lovely if more media figures would take this approach to the regime more consistently.

Corner them on facts. Actually follow up.

You know, like journalists do.

GS: “Did Homan keep the $50,000 bribe?”

VANCE: “I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” 🤔

GS: “You didn’t answer the Q… We’ll be right back.”

GS gets fed up with Vance’sabsurd lying and gaslighting — and eventually cuts him off mid-sentence.

Sunday reading:

I wrote about the aggrieved extremist who is currently firing thousands of federal workers and ravaging state capacity based on conspiratorial nonsense - and about mainstream media’s infuriating tendency to sanitize Russell Vought and the regime he serves.

This week’s piece:
We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly
Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

Like, there is no trust left to be had with these assholes. They will uncritically publish any braindead swill they're fed, with no pushback whatsoever.

We can never trust any of them again.

I would love it if someone somewhere has like, a database of all the illegal things the regime is doing.

According to OPM and OMB shutdown guidance:

“Agencies may not effect personnel actions, including separations or reductions in force, unless the action is necessary to carry out an orderly shutdown or to protect life or property.”

So how are they able to get away with this?

This regime is literally trying to destroy the US and murder everyone they can. There's really no other explanation for this shit.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

And yeah, quite frankly I don't blame any Trans person, or Palestinian, or person of color, or immigrant, or any other marginalized person, for giving up on these assholes.

If I don't matter then I don't matter.

You don't get my vote if I don't have yours.

That's how politics works.
dreamseadrifter.bsky.social
Dems going to lose elections over shit like this then act like it's Trans peoples' fault for not swearing undying fealty to a party that does not care about them.

You bargain with bigots, you lose the victims of their bigotry.

And you can burn in hell for it.

Democrats: you don't get to claim you're better for trans people when the first thing you've done is bargain away their rights.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

We are anarchists who hate freedom and terrorists who are also bleeding-heart liberals.

State Communists who are both Islamic jihadis and also gay atheists, as well as Marxist Jews who are also antisemitic.

They aren't coherent, but they are at least consistent about it.

Eh, I'm used to it.

It's what fascists do when they know they're losing popular support - call everyone else terrorists.

They have nothing else.

No Kings is Hamas is quite a claim to make. I mean, we knew this was coming, but it’s still shocking to hear.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

No King's Day is going to be an absurdist costume party for sure.

What we all need to understand is that joy is our strongest weapon against them. It's the thing they hate most, and the thing they try the hardest to stifle.

Bring your joy to the fight, and they will collapse under the weight of it

They plan on bringing the violence, most likely

Mike Johnson can suck my antifascist balls.

He's a smarmy little shit who defends pedophiles and rapists.

If he does stick the landing in Gaza, my other concern is that this will somehow be used to justify the violent human rights abuses his regime is engaged in domestically.

No matter the outcome, he is still a violent, psychopathic despot who needs to be removed from power.
dreamseadrifter.bsky.social
My biggest concern is that Trump is exactly petty enough to throw a tantrum about the peace prize and pull out of negotiations in Gaza.

He doesn't care about any of the people involved. He just wants the accolades.
