Good idea!
We live in Chinook Indian country in SW Washington. The Chinooks are still waiting for their recognition as a sovereign nation, promised then reneged on.

Shit, I will keep turning it UP until this racist, America-attacking, woman-attacking, environment-attacking, healthcare-attacking, truth-attacking grotesque excuse for a man is long gone ...

It's obviously more complicated than that. But I would also submit that one pillar of the press that hurts us collectively the most is the loss of local newspapers. It is tragic! Our local paper almost tripled it's rate due to loss of advertising. We still subscribe but we have to assess every year.

We have been slowly losing our fearless press for years. I believe it is because profit trounces the deep dive into truths. Now we're losing a free press because profit & favor from the wanna-be dictator.

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 25d

Democracy depends on a fearless and free press.

Corporations or ultra-wealthy individuals with many other business interests should not be allowed to control our media.

They cannot be trusted to prioritize the public’s right to know over their own financial interests.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

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.

Fun fact:
Every government shutdown in the last 30 years occurred when Republicans had control of the House of
Representatives.

ICE tactics in Chicago are escalating.

Crashing into a woman’s car so they can grab her is unconscionable!

Friends, the word “radical” comes from the Latin word meaning “root.” To be politically radical does not mean fringe. To be radical is to focus one’s attention on the *roots* of the systems that govern us, such as Capitalism.

Fundamental, systemic change requires radical thinking and action. ✨🌲✨

Mike Johnson is no patriot. The patriots are the throngs who will use their First Amendment rights next Saturday to stand up for the full range of rights for everyone. We do it because we love America, recognize the emergency we're in, and are desperately trying to save the nation we love.

Seth Abramson @sethabramson.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, America, he is referring to the 100% peaceful No Kings rallies that have literally nothing to do with Hamas or antifa or hating America.

America has been gaslit by these lunatics every day for a decade, and at some point the other shoe will drop—though I have no idea what or when that will be.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.
