Jesse Watters tried to make a protester he dubbed "Antifa Kermit" look menacing. I added the words of Secretary of Homeland Security describing Antifa along with some footage of Antifa protesters from an ABC affiliate Local 10 News. The music is royalty free.🎶🪩💃🕺

Federal Secret Police and plainclothes ICE agents kidnap multiple people from a neighborhood in Chicago. They then deploy teargas and brutally beat neighbors who come out to express their concern.

If Dems ever get back in power no one can complain when they do shit like packing the Supreme Court, which is just as legal as this

AdotSad @adotsad.bsky.social · 11h

Legitimately disgusting that were getting legal rigging of elections and nobody cares in the media or the electorate. This is not that functionally different than tossing out thousands of votes to help your side win.

North Carolina Republicans announced today they’re going to pass a new congressional map to draw a Dem out of Congress; they already did last cycle, going from 7-7 to 10-4. Thus would be 11-3. t.co/XLJIhe8vZn

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · 15h

These are the same kind of weasels who would’ve called George Washington & America’s revolutionaries “terrorists.” They spend their days sucking up to King Trump & demonizing peaceful protest just as some in America sought to appease King George III.

Looking forward to No Kings Day.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

I don’t remember a huge display on the beach in Tel Aviv thanking Biden for this 🤔

Rigorous, Fred-based Reporting @thefred.bsky.social · 1d

Biden's cease-fires got 135 living hostages released. Trump's got 20 (which is less than it would have been had he enforced the continuation of the January cease fire).

If we must do a comparison of which American president did a better job securing the release of Israeli hostages, the answer is Joe Biden.

But you just shared this, with the actual link. Isn’t that part of the problem? If I shouldn’t care what he thinks (I don’t) then why disseminate this?

Jeffrey Wuhl @jeffreywuhl.bsky.social · 20h

I’m not sure how anyone can look at the Ivies the same way going forward. They’ve shown the most cowardice and least inclination to protect their student and professors of any universities, and frankly the bar is and should be higher for them

What is the purpose here of thanking Trump? Whether or not he should get credit isn’t the point, the opposition party doesn’t “gotta hand it” to him. JFC

There were at least two ceasefires under Biden! In which more than five times as many living Israeli hostages were released in exchange for 240 Palestinians! Has everyone forgotten this?

Coffee Indiana @coffeeindiana.bsky.social · 21h

Also, ceasefires have happened under prior Presidents! The day he gets Palestine their own country he can be told he's the most special boy deserving of a shiny prize.

I don't want to sound like I'm defending or praising Biden here, who was AWFUL on this issue in particular. But it's just notable who gets credit for what, and how much

Jeffrey Wuhl @jeffreywuhl.bsky.social · 22h

1. Hmmm thank god we finally have the first ever cease fire in this conflict, no chance it doesn’t hold
2. Exactly, which means Israel can now act with free rein
3. Good luck with that

Jeffrey Wuhl @jeffreywuhl.bsky.social · 22h

Look, part of it is he goes out and sells himself (with obvious lies and exaggerations, but still) which Biden never did. So you do gotta hand it to him in that sense

@mtsw.bsky.social Trump being lionized for getting 20 hostages back whereas Biden got basically no credit for getting over 100 back….any idea why that might be?

A lot of Republicans down the Jersey Shore turned out to be great friends of the whales when there was a chance that some offshore wind farms might get built. Looking forward to hearing about how they react to this news...

Republicans are aiming next to dismantle the marine mammal protection act, which protects whales, dolphins, manatees, polar bears, and sea otters.. among other ocean wildlife. 🦦

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
