The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.

My 2nd born recently had a send off for a friend from school for the same reason. High schoolers were not as easily tricked into a joyful tone. I don’t think they’ll ever forget that we (the collective we) allowed this cruelty

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

The fact that Donald Trump is politicizing and misusing our military to go into American cities is deeply disrespectful, dangerous, and un-American.

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

related, when the president is invading our own country, waging war on our own people, i don't wanna see dems give the GOP shit they ask for, don't wanna hear shit bout 'we hope our friends across the aisle will work with us on bipartisan solutions to the problems they cause' i don't want none of it

Grudgie the Whale @grudgie.bsky.social · 5d

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · 5d

Guys. I just had a crazy idea. What if the President DIDN’T deploy troops in American cities. Just a thought. Have we tried that before?

Some days I honestly feel like I’m not smart enough to handle the times we’re living through. Like I don’t have the processing power to handle the daily horrors and come out on the other side with a clear actionable plan on what to do. I’m trying but my brain keeps outputting “does not compute”.

Reading Rainbow emphasis is encouraging kids to read. The focus is not on teaching them to read. The mission is reading should be fun!

We are all readers, worthy of literacy. LeVar Burton said “but you don’t have to take my word for it” because he wanted us to look to the books. That’s the beauty 💚

Gov Pritzker reports that Trump is demanding he activate the National Guard in Illinois, or Trump will.

To recap:
•IL violent crime rate is 310/100K
•USA violent crime rate is 374/100K
•Red states have a 40% higher murder rate than do blue states

This isn't national security—it's fascist autocracy
