In 2 Years of Gaza Genocide, Sunday Shows on NBC, ABC and CNN Have Not Featured a Single Palestinian Guest

In a microcosm of the U.S. coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza, since Oct. 7, 2023, influential Sunday news shows have not seen fit to book any Palestinians.

Crypto execs are selling small portions of real-estate on the blockchain to investors which is not a novel idea. However, they claim because this “new” investment opportunity is on the blockchain, it should not be subject to the rules. From @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social:

Crypto Bros Want to Create Micro Landlords

Crypto executives are selling investors fractions of buildings in yet another scheme to reinvent an existing activity and say rules don’t apply because it’s on the blockchain.

Mike Johnson manages the House of Representatives with such amazing efficiency. He specializes in keeping his members out of Washington as much as possible. And it's all because of Epstein, apparently.

Welcome to the New Confederacy folks. Republicans and Maga have, from the beginning, all about Race and white supremacy. You can't help but notice that the Never Trumpers rarely mention racism as a driving factor in what's happening in America now. Ask them why as they helped to create Maga.

Trump is continuing to target Social Security with sneak attacks, aimed at weakening the program. Even though the attacks aren’t easy to spot, Trump is still hell-bent on trying to destroy Social Security. From Robert Kuttner:

Today on TAP: It's hard to kill America's most loved program outright—so Trump is strangling it by stealth.

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.

We all have to much more than hope because they're too busy physically attacking us, our neighbors, our families, and our friends. The threat has turned into action. Let's give our kids hope for a better future by banding together to fight back. We gotta try as too much is at stake.

One of JD Vance’s admitted gurus, Curtis Yarvin, says he’s thinking about fleeing the country because Trump hasn’t dismantled enough of America’s democratic institutions and he fears “vengeance.” Let that sink in when you think about who’s running the country.

Americans aren't safe. There is always an excuse for the DOJ, ICE, and others to overstep legal limits. Orders for overstepping comes out of the WH, but with Trump's continued decline in mental health, we can assume that Miller is running the show. That equals a strong Nazi presence in the WH. 😠😬
