Does the news reflect what we die from?

What do Americans die from, and what do the New York Times, Washington Post, and Fox News report on?

When reality contradicts the criminal president's elucubrations. How long will america tolerate an insane president?

Joshua Failé @joshuafaile.bsky.social · 1d

As always, Trump is completely fabricating statistics to justify his demonstratively fascist rhetoric and actions. And you can be confident the various prosecutions bringing suit against the regime to stop the military occupations will be using these statements as evidence of malicious intent.

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.

Trump has gone totally mad. It's 25th Amendment time all day, every day. He's living in a totally invented, fictional world. And he's old and in ill-health.

It's outrageous, reckless, choose your word that Republicans haven't done more to deal with this.

Trump: "The restaurants were all closing, now you can't get into a restaurant. They're opening up new restaurants. It took 12 days for us. We sent in not politically correct military. We sent them in based on merit."

President Trump is considering a triumphal arch at Memorial Circle in D.C. for America’s 250th anniversary.

It would represent Trump’s most audacious effort to remake the landscape of D.C.

Trump eyes a triumphal arch to mark America’s 250th anniversary

The arch would be constructed across from the Lincoln Memorial, on a small patch of federal land currently occupied by a traffic circle.

Masks. Armed. No insignia. No names. No warrants. But they will come up to an American citizen on the street and threaten him with arrest for peacefully exercising basic American rights.

I'd challenge historians of the American Revolution to articulate how things were worse than this in April 1775.
