The FBI raided the home of a Washington Post reporter.
This is a blatant attack on press freedom — yet Jeff Bezos has so far been silent.
Billionaire control of the media is a danger to us all.

Imagine someone pulling an Oath Keeper aside, and saying, would you like to beat the living shit out of people you hate, maybe even kill a few…with no legal risk? Oh, and I’d give you $50k as a bonus…plus great pay. Interested?
You don’t have to imagine it.

Why do they always fall back on the same script “paid protesters,” then “Antifa”? It’s a familiar tactic to dismiss real dissent by pretending it’s manufactured. At least yesterday, Bondi finally acknowledged the resistance, something that actually exists in the real world.

Dear trump,
You're a desperate loser.
You took a guy's Purple Heart.
You lied about Michigan's "Man of the Year" award.
You took Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.
It's a participation trophy.
On Obama's worst day, and your best,
he will ALWAYS be better.
The world laughs at you.
Pathetic.

Mitch McConnell's actions, such as undermining Obama, obstructing Supreme Court appointments, and opposing Trump's impeachment, require critical assessment. His recent criticism of Trump over Greenland does not offset his past influence on the political landscape.

This sounds insane, but given who we’re talking about, it tracks.
@milestaylor.bsky.social says Stephen Miller told him that “if Trump won reelection, it would be a shock and awe blitz…and one of those things he would look to do is invoke the insurrection act.”
Watch all of this!

Deception appears to be a skill frequently associated with Trump; however, it is even more concerning when individuals choose to believe his claims.

A nation electing a controversial figure questions its values. It's hard to sympathize with voters supporting someone despite known issues, and non-voters also face complicity. Such decisions often lead to deserved consequences.

Germany has seen this movie before.

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.
