It's actually good to point out Bari Weiss's shitty inaccuracies, her lack of any real journalistic experience or original ideas, and the fact that she's failing upward, promoted by antidemocratic oligarchs who have no interest in reporting the truth.

Gavin Newsom: "Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I'm being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today."

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

They should also cite its factually incorrect nature as a reason. The GOP has a majority in the House & Senate, & their guy is in the WH. So give me a fucking break with the "it's the Democrat's fault" BS. We all know who is responsible for it. It's the GOP trying to take everyone's healthcare away.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

These two things are true at the same time:

1. Republicans don't care about health care

2. They may still try to destroy Obamacare once and for all

Remember, they've got a reconciliation bill next year, with no filibuster.

Republicans are completely full of it on healthcare

And it becomes more obvious every time they talk about it.

The destruction of CBS News has begun.

CBS News would never put a thinly sourced 'story' by a rookie blogger like this on it's air. Until now. The Free Press isn't a journalism outlet, it's bloggers aren't reporters. This piece is more NYPost than Tiffany Network but I guess that's the goal.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.

Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.

Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.

Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.

Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP just chose to do this.

👇🎯 Joe Biden, who was president during ceasefires in which 100 hostages were released, quite famously never received the same Leni Riefenstahl moment & grading-on-a-curve treatment from major media outlets in 2024. Whatever one thinks of him or Trump on this issue, this is massive goalpost shifting.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January
* 100s starved to death, including kids
* Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel
* US citizens murdered in the West Bank

I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

Just in case the dramatically low Leni Riefenstahl-style angle was too subtle, they used a word from her most famous movie

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm.

The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now!

Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows.

FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

Flooding seen with water up to the crash barriers of local roads

Sheds and debris lie scattered in the storm

While Trump blusters about "law & order," his regime has dropped or halted nearly 165 investigations into corporate wrongdoing. And Trump himself has pardoned dozens of his supporters, including Jan 6 rioters and others convicted of crimes like money laundering and bribery.

Everyone should read Trump's 20 point peace plan. Of course the original was not released to the press, but the version on the WH website is bad enough!

UPDATE -- students in Georgia who've participated in the Reading Bowl have launched a petition to get answers as to why these 8 books were banned. Please amplify their petition and message, as well as the story here.

Petition: www.change.org/p/ensure-tra...

Image of a book with flowers on it. It's a flier from the Wheeler High School Reading Bowl team saying "Fight Book Banning." Under the image it says "We want open minds, not closed books," and asks people to sign their petition: https://www.change.org/p/ensure-transparency-and-change-in-georgia-high-school-hrrb-book-banning-process?recruited_by_id=1a6e97a0-a854-11f0-aa25-fd089d14a993&utm_source=share_petition&utm_campaign=share_petition&utm_term=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

Someone, hopefully the Democrats in Congress, should be keeping a long list of who to prosecute for violating their oath of office, breaking laws, ignoring the constitution, etc. Secondly they had better have a damn long list of laws that need to change such as not swearing in a newly elected member

Sandy @in-sandys-opinion.bsky.social · 14h

When Dems return to power laws must change.Winners of Special Elections must be sworn in w/in 7 days of certification of election results.Judicial nominations must be given a Congressional vote w/in 14 days of nomination.Non-compliance results in the leader being fined $20,000 per day until complete
