Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

America is not ok.
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

The people who have constantly said it is hyperbolic to say Trump desires to destroy American democracy and Trump is a fascist and Trump is an authoritarianism, are not just wrong - obviously and painfully so - but have also helped Trump to legitimise his authoritarianism and assault on democracy.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

When reality doesn’t suit Trump, he does whatever he can to hide reality - whether that be suing media, lying, threatening - whatever it takes to manipulate his supporters to accept his false reality. Thing is, reality has a way of winning in the end. Hide polls all you like Trump - they are true.
Trump says he will sue over another poll because he does not like the results.

Trump is allowed to behave however he wants, but his opposition have to be as pure as snow. The right have always been this hypocritical. And the media beats the same drum.
Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

I've written about the need for non-Murdoch media to resist adopting Murdoch's framing. Too often we see the rest of the media - including the ABC - joining Murdoch's pile-ons without scrutiny or balance, which makes them just as bad as Murdoch.

Journalists need to resist adopting News Corp’s agenda
When News Corp frames the story, too many journalists stop asking whether the frame is true — and democracy pays the price

It feels like a damn is breaking 🤞🏻 European leaders at Davos are telling Trump they’re no longer going to be bullied and cowed by his unhinged abuse of power against them. Let’s hope this shift is permanent.

MAGA supporters are never going to admit or even accept to themselves that their support for Trump has made the world more unstable, less safe, more economically insecure, more hateful and more divided. They are a movement hellbent on revenge because they’ve lost their privilege and want it back.

Trump: "Whoo. I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could've dome some damage but you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. I would've gone back. Boy did you hear that? That was nasty. But I would not have shown the pain. I would've acted like nothing happens as my finger fell off."

Sad about Phillip Adams getting sacked by the Australian after all these decades. Kinda glad tho that the increasingly ugly propaganda sheet has lost another of its fig leaves. It is not a respectable enterprise, and a small handful of good people can’t make it so.

Trump has attacked all institutions of truth and expertise - including America’s universities. Once the best in the world, American universities are slipping behind China who have invested heavily in research. MAGA is making America weaker, dumber and a global joke.

America is at a cross road. If Renee Nicole Good’s cold blooded unprovoked murder goes unpunished, America is officially lawless. The murderer Jonathan Ross is the symbol of Trump’s America - violent, unhinged, without empathy or compassion, and without consequences. American justice is dead.

The Trump administration’s attempts to blame “left wing ideology” and the victim herself for being murdered by a psychopathic ICE agent is taking manipulative gaslighting to a new and outrageous level. I know MAGA drinks this koolaid but surely the rest of America can see through this insanity?

Trump is a liar. That should be the headline on every newspaper across the globe every day of his presidency. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen that headline even once. Even when Trump lies multiple times a day. It’s beyond infuriating. Here’s him lying about the ICE shooting.
