Why are the police MIA?

If there are cops that don’t want to do their job, start firing them.

Nope. No violence. Not giving Trump what he wants.

As long as we have free and fair elections, there is no need to take the bait from these weirdos.

Just a reminder that Wikipedia is the only remaining reliable source of information that right wing billionaires can't control. (Although they'll never stop trying.)

Please donate to them whenever you can. Even a little bit helps.

All MSM news orgs were bought by oligarchs right under our nose.
Their job is no longer to inform but to placate.

If as a journalist you don't know which photos or videos to trust on social media any more you might ask why the news media is not positioning itself to prosper from the pending consumer rush back to trusted sources.

Corporate media is missing the point about Portland’s Mr. Frog. They are covering him and his menagerie as a humorous side show. In reality Mr Frog has seized the visual narrative by pointing out the absurdity of troops in Portland. In our visual media world. Mr Frog is winning the war. #ProudBlue

Her district was seriously upset about the Epstein files, and Margie being on that committee means she’s seen more than the public has. She knows what’s in there spells the end of Trump’s Presidency.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

Every single one of those people need to apologize to our World War II veterans for these disparaging comments about their fight against fascism.

CPD is supposed to be protecting the people of Chicago, not the slobs that attacked our Capitol on 1/6.

Mayor Johnson and Chief Snelling need to tighten things up if they aren’t putting a stop to this illegal bullsh*t.

That it is still the de facto place for news orgs and journalists to post stuff is pretty much a disgraceful thing.

How about we get people to quit the bird app first. That plays a much larger role in the current awfulness we’re living through.

Trump and Miller want a dictatorship in this country, and their plan is already in place and being carried out. It's important to know if you're a pawn in their plan. This an excellent rundown of what is happening, and free to read.
