Isn’t there just one reporter, one, who has the guts & commitment to reporting the truth who will say, “Mr President, I’ve just returned from Portland. It is not burning. It is not war ravaged. There is no insurrection. Show the American people your evidence of your claims”. Grand #journalism FAIL.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Why is every authentic “public interest” #USA #journalism outlet not framing & presenting this #Trump #propaganda as the provably false bullshit it is. Portland is not “burning. Not “war ravaged”. It’s all a part of his unrolling #fascism project & consolidating #dictatorship. Millions believe. #USA

Maybe compare it with 1930s #USA with lawmakers & many others fully supportive of Germany & the Nazis. #Fascism is not new to America. A republic founded on #slavery & #racism. It is inextricably embedded in its social, political, cultural DNA. The civil war never truly ended. #Trump #dictatorship

Tim Dunlop @timdunlop.bsky.social · 10h

To be able to say stuff like this with impunity is as good an indication as any of how the media & almost democratic institution has failed over decades. Forget comparisons with 1930s Germany: this is the key aesthetic of a genuine American fascism. Not coming or threatening, but fully in place.
