This is so far beyond corruption or nepo babies -- both are pervasive across sectors and society, inside democracies and out.

This is about authoritarianism, about the Trump family manipulating the public by controlling communication channels.

Let's not equivocate: state-controlled media are propaganda.

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Exactly, which is why we should call them what they are: propagandists, not news outlets.

I think the one on the right is the girlfriend of the founder of antifa.

Wake up, it's happening now not later. Fight back/resist with everything you've got.

Given the propaganda and systems takeover underway, keep talking and educating everyone as fast as we can.

There is no tomorrow, only today. Authoritarianism takes hold in the blink of an eye.

Thanks for sharing that. I'd learned from the GOP press release out of the legislature ... no way I was sharing that after they forced her (and other seriously ill Democrats) to the floor with their BS in the special session.

As you will, but these guys need to put respect on women in leadership IMO.

I was in a meeting the other night where they called the PBOT Director by her first name and males by their honorary. It's BS.

Friends can help this cause by calling their boss lady friends by their boss lady titles.

So sad to learn of the passing of State Rep. Hoa Nguyen. Even though she was dying, she traveled to Salem to help pass a transportation bill for our state.

She was a real one, a true champion for justice, and will be fondly remembered and missed. Condolences to those closest to her on their loss.

Too many Americans still, though.

It's important to uplift the stories of our neighbors who've escaped authoritarianism. There are many, and they have wisdom for us at this critical moment.

(If any journos want to take this on as a feature, DM me and I can put you in contact.)

I thought we would always be safe if we came to America, that we would always have justice, she lamented to me across the fence. We thought America was where people went if they wanted to not worry. People aren't paying attention to how fast authoritarians take over everything: it is happening now.

My next door neighbors fleed the Bosnian civil war in the middle of the night. One Orthodox, one Muslim, they escaped through Austria, made a good life here in USA. Sons graduated PSU, have families & great jobs.

They are beside themselves that Americans are so being so cavalier with our Democracy.

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland
sarahforpdx.bsky.social
Yeah, she does us great service via her idiocy.

Props to DHS for framing Portland's densest neighborhood so the world thinks we look more like Vancouver than Topeka.

I love that urbanity for us. #SoWaFTW

Noem’s agenda for the trip has not been announced.

Sen. Wyden had a blunt response: “Kristi Noem is cosplaying as a public official. In reality, she’s been sent by Trump to incite violence."
