I was taking a short video of Nia playing fetch, to send to my cousins, when she came up with a new one to add to her impressive repertoire. Back ‘atcha!

Part of the complete rewriting of history to suit the white supremacist christofascist narrative and agenda.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Don’t Bet Against Bari Weiss

The new editor in chief of CBS News triumphs over her critics.

LET’S RE VISIT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN REFORM AND RUSSIA!

Nathan Gill, former leader of Reform in Wales, pleaded guilty to eight counts of bribery. He was taking payments to peddle narratives that would have had the effect of being beneficial towards Russian interests.

Great points.

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

The mental gymnastics required to conjure up this kind of framing, content, and headlines is truly Olympian.

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

BIG NEWS: @gavinnewsom.bsky.social signed my bill (SB 41) to end abuses by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — behemoth corporate drug middlemen that increase the cost of Rx drugs & destroy local pharmacies to favor their own mail order pharmacies.

Huge win to lower drug costs & benefit consumers.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Khashoggi's Ghost @urocklive1.bsky.social · 1d

After Trump's tariff post, trillions vanished in hours. The S&P collapsed. Nasdaq crashed. Tech giants bled red. But a different kind of storm was already brewing — not on Wall Street, but deep inside the blockchain.

While everyone else was watching Trump’s post, someone was already cashing in.

Before that announcement even hit the airwaves, an anonymous crypto wallet suddenly transferred over $1 billion into stablecoins — digital dollars that hold value even when everything else collapses. Then, within seconds of Trump’s post, that same wallet started placing $100 million buy orders across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and multiple altcoins just as the market imploded.

They had to get the prosecutors first before an opposition senator or congressperson. It’s all about boiling that frog.

Racism trumps poverty, hardship, and suffering.

This is the lesson the right has learned, understood, and internalized, that the left is just beginning to understand once again, blinded by an inability to accept such a stark truth, and forced to relearn with every resurgence of right wing populism

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
