"The Sword Turns On The Hand"

Letitia James’s indictment isn’t about skill, evidence, or brilliance. It’s about a system built to favor the government; and now turning on the very people who once controlled it.

All mainstream media is now state TV.
I don't watch anything. Only tidbits I see are here on Bluesky, and seeing those clips is plenty enough.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.
