Me and the reporter from The Blade all threatened to walk out and leave the briefing room when they tried to kick out Kaitlan Collins. Trump himself wasn't there for that but it's another example. You can stick up for yourself.

At what point will the press corps, as a chorus, in unison, just shout back, “THATS NOT TRUE”!

My last day for shipping for my store for the holidays will be December 14th. I always allow myself time to get everything made and shipped before my family vacation.
It’s gonna be especially important this year because faster ways to ship are limited.

Through sheer arrogance Tesla didn’t feel the need for change & inspirational design. Instead the Board allowed a major shareholder to destroy their brand through his criminal behavior & unlawful influencing of the US election. China has knocked them off the playing field while they weren’t looking.

Trump does not have a stable conservative/right-leaning majority behind him, he does not represent the “will of the people.” America remains deeply divided, with a numerical majority rejecting the reactionary agenda and generally supporting the vision of liberal pluralism.

No matter where we look: Religious identity, racial and cultural resentment, attitudes towards the religious/racial/cultural pluralization of American society are dividing the country - and shaping the political conflict - much more strongly than education polarization.

In 2024, people with high racial resentment scores strongly tended to vote for Donald Trump, regardless of their educational attainment; by contrast, people with low racial resentment scores strongly tended to support Kamala Harris, whether they had a college degree or not.

Yes, Trump dominates among the *white* working class (if defined as people without a college degree). But even here, religion played a key role: In 2024, about 86 percent of non-college white evangelicals voted for Trump – vs. only a minority of the non-evangelical white working class.

Trump does not represent the “will of the people” – a stable majority of Americans, including about two thirds of those who call themselves independents, reject core tenets of the Trumpist agenda. It is the Republican Party that is losing touch with the mainstream of American society.

It’s not just that prison meals are bland and unappetizing — though they often are.
In lawsuits and news reports, kitchen workers at prisons in Arizona, Oregon, and elsewhere reported seeing boxes of food that were served to prisoners marked: “not for human consumption.”

Prison Food Is a Growing Billion-Dollar Industry. Many Meals Are Inedible.
As private food providers' contracts grow, the meager and moldy portions behind bars have forced some people to eat toothpaste and toilet paper.

I guess the post I was responding to didn’t like hearing from someone who actually lives in the US & knows that tens of millions of decent Americans are fighting back against the regime.

I'm going to assume your media is not reporting the widespread resistance by ordinary Americans, as much US media is not reporting on it because it's tr*mp donors who own most US media. You insult the people who are not only dealing w the daily chaos, but are also fighting back to protect each other

I did buy 1 thing today, but only because the bidding on eBay ended

Islamophobia has been popularized in white evangelical/Christian Nationalist culture for a couple of decades. There's a series of popular books spreading conspiracy theories dressed in theology to prove the Antichrist will be Muslim
Public policy is downstream from what the GOP is hearing in church

The most recent rise in Texas Islamophobia has also corresponded with a broader normalization of Christian nationalism - led by the same education leaders who called CAIR reps terrorist leaders last week.
Much more on that push here:

🧵🧵 Texas Republicans have been increasingly open and aggressive about Christianizing America via schools - to, in the words of the state education board chair, center classrooms around "GOD, GOP & USA."

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.
