Pam Bondi gets uglier with every clip of her I see. People lying...when everyone knows they are lying...yet they do it anyway...they're the most repulsive thing you can ever see. That feeling of being repulsed...and what you are looking at...when you feel that way...fuse... permanently.

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

153 kids are in quarantine in South Carolina.

118 kids in Minneapolis.

This is what happens when we ignore the science.

When we stop vaccinating, long eradicated diseases come back.

The kids deserve better than this. Measles can disable. It can kill. And it’s completely preventable.

Hundreds of U.S. students quarantined amid measles outbreaks

At least 270 unvaccinated kids are staying home from school as measles continues to spread nationwide. "Expect more," one expert said.

I just watched the video of the Portland Cop threatening to arrest an ICE agent if they drive their truck through a crowd. Now I see this where the General of the Oregon National Guard says if they get called up they will protect the protesters. People are fed up.

Oregon general’s testimony that National Guard troops ‘will be protecting any protesters’ gains traction online

Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold made the comments to state lawmakers Sept. 30, and they drew notice on social media this week.

Bondi is lying but it’s worse than that: she’s blurring the line between fact and fiction for the GOP base. If nothing is true, no one can be held accountable. Keep speaking the truth.

The Nine Principles of Propaganda
1. LIE BIG Big lies work better than small because the masses won't believe that anyone would lie "about that."
2. FOCUS Don't make it complicated, ignore history, keep it simple for simple minds.
3. REPEAT People cannot tell the difference between facts and
familiarity. If they hear the same words repeated enough, they become true in their minds.
4. BLAME Never credit the other side, always blame, debase, defame, and dehumanize.
nere by dennis prestosk
5. PROVOKE Outrage, fear, and resentment are more powertul than reason, logic, or facts.
6. CRISIS Issues must be lite or death, good vs evil, love vs hate, us vs them.
Urgency defeats objection.
7. EMOTION A person might question facts, but they will never question their own feelings. Go emotional.
8. PANDER Ignore reasonable arguments, demonize all who disagree as having bad intentions.
9. NO LIMITS Morality is for losers. The victor's morality will not be questioned. No limits.

I love that the folks in Norway didn't want to just deprive Donald Trump of the Nobel Peace Prize he was so shamelessly hungry for, they awarded it instead to someone he would hate, a decent Latina woman working against undemocratic authoritarianism. Nice touch. 👨‍🍳👄

Happy Nobel Peace Prize day to all who celebrate! 🕊️

In a brilliant and well deserved move, an (1) antifa (2) Latina (3) woman, María Corina Machado, wins for her work promoting democratic rights in Venezuela.

How long until Trump gives a military base to Putin inside the Beltway and offices inside CIA headquarters in Langley?

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 16h

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Whatever is going on in ICE Detention facilities in the US is no doubt closer to Auschwitz than it is the country club Trump moved Ghislaine Maxwell to six weeks ago.
And we know prisoners abducted by ICE & flown out of the US are being tortured & probably eliminated already.
ICE is the Gestapo.

I had a 14 year-old friend shot at by a cop in suburban MA back in 1975. For doing nothing but riding away from the cop. And the kid was a white kid with only modestly long hair.
The city ended up making him Chief of Police 7 or 8 years later...
Police criminality has been part of America forever.

Do not tolerate intolerance!

Stop saying this

Can’t we all be friends ?

The answer is “f*ck no”

Having been "elected," she should just show up for work, even if the Congress, under Johnson is delaying swearing her in.
Take the lock off her office door!

They say Benny Johnson—the fake-journalist face of the Trump administration—is no longer taking cash from the war criminals at the Kremlin via an intermediary as he previously was found to have done, but am I the only one who still has some nagging doubts? Certainly no background check has been done

His stroke left him with too little oxygen getting to the brain for too long. Fetterman is gone mentally... He might as well just run home to his rich mommy & daddy and continue to live off the family mountain of wealth.
