Is there nowhere

We love many of the hosts on US TV networks. Unfortunately, the board of directors, CEO, etc., who call the shots, don't have the spine to stand up to Trump. Thus, more of the "news" you are watching from the USA, will increasingly propaganda driven...normalizing the unacceptable. Guard your mind.

The headline tonight reads, “White House to Vet Smithsonian Museums to Fit Trump’s Historical Vision.” It’s in The Wall Street Journal, not exactly a bastion of liberal views.

A fresh face, who builds coalitions, has won the primary for NYC mayor.
nicholsuprising.bsky.social John Nichols @nicholsuprising.bsky.social · Jun 25
Zohran Mamdani won a victory for his own campaign in NYC but ALSO for a vision of the next Democratic Party: a bolder, more outspoken party that builds multiracial, multiethnic coalitions that speak directly to the aspirations of working-class voters — with an economic agenda that is on their side.
Zohran Mamdani Proves That Power Belongs to the People
In a rebuke to cynical Democratic insiders and the New York Times editorial page, voters backed a democratic socialist for mayor of the nation's largest city.
