Now we're a week from a massive nationwide protest Trump and his agents have inexplicably said is going to be violent and run by antifa—when the last No Kings Day protest was nonviolent and had virtually no antifa presence. We're also told the White House is preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Unbearably violent images from Downtown Chicago where a classical music concert was played on the Chicago River. This is too elegant and magical to be seen.

Pres. Obama talks to interviewees who have worked to strengthen #democracy in Hungary & Poland.

Imagine what they can tell us about resistance in the US.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 19h

I recently sat down with three leaders who are part of the @obamafoundation.bsky.social's alumni network to hear more about their work to strengthen democracy in Hungary and Poland. They’re an example for us all. Take a look:

I'm curious why Dom agreed to sell. What did they truly stand to gain, rather than refuse to sell.

Right-wing media portray PDX as a w@r zone. Although Noem said that it was somehow hidden from her.

Thank Mother Earth that the Portland frogs have increased their population by threefold.

Media Matters for America @mmfa.bsky.social · 1d

In direct contrast to coverage from right-wing media, Portland residents and officials have emphasized that it's actually federal agents who have been engaging in “violent tactics” against protesters.

Right-wing media say Portland is a war zone under siege. Local news paints a different picture.

I made a horrible decision last night and told chat that I’d do a 24-hr livestream if we raise $100k with these streams by the 19th.

So if that’s an incentive to tune in… there you go.

This piece is a case study in propaganda and 20th century media psychology. I first saw this spot in high school US history, then in other college courses.
