Everyday it seems there's an unprecedented new development. Was this the cost of Qatar's cooperation in Trump’s "peace plan" or the ridiculous plane* they "gave" Trump.

Sums it up exactly, it's good to see MSM getting it right for once. I'm sensing a shift in the air as the WH attempts to get MSM to sign a document that allows the military to review reporting before it's released. Much like what Netanyahu requires from it's "free press".

It's like they're all sharing in this group delusion where Trump is sowing peace throughout the land and Dems are attacking everything in sight. The No Kings events must be 100% peaceful and Trump and his minions will have absolutely nothing.

Micah @rincewind.run · 1d

they are clearly trying to terrify everyone out of showing up to the No Kings protest and I simply do not think it is going to work

see you all there

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Bambi @bkoslen54.bsky.social · 20h

This ask is similar to what Netanyahu requires from his so called free press. Every article, any coverage must be approved by the military 1st before it's reported.It kept many Israeli's from initially knowing the extent of Netanyahu's right wing actions in Palestine.

Everyday there's a new and unprecedented horror from this Administration. Was this the cost of Qatar backing Trump in his so called peace plan?

Steven Beschloss @stevenbeschloss.bsky.social · 1d

Oh, sure, let's have Qatar set up its military bases on American soil--because we're all about America First, amirite?

This is Stephen Miller's pornograpy and it's safe to say Trump’s as well. Remember Trump’s behavior on Jan 6th watching the violence and refusing to take any action to stop it. Here we go again.

SOUND FAMILIAR?
Many remain unaware of Bibi's attacks and limitations on Israel's free press, his efforts to curtail Democracy and the Rule of Law/Justice system. Since 1st criminally charged in 2019 he's worked to consolidate his power for his protection, his personal "get out of jail free card".

"Trump said this, then Trump said that. Trump did this, and then Trump did that. Trump did that, and now Trump's doing this. Trump wants this, now Trump wants that."

I predict that Trump will now lose interest in the Palestine/Israel situation which I'm sure he thought would win him the Nobel Peace Prize. Thankfully there are more bods than him involved in the complex process, all of whom have interests in continuing to press for the agreements to work.

The last #NOKINGS event brought millions out into the streets.

#NOKINGS2.0 we expect millions more will come out in solidarity against the suffering and cruelty of this corrupt regime and it's secret police.

Staying silent & doing nothing empowers them.
