What happened to Matthew should not happen to anyone ever. The barbaric inhumanity.
I also cried when I heard the news.

Guess JD Vance Didn't Know That Detainees Have A First Amendment Right To Communion ... Ask Amy Coney Barrett...Oh, That's Right, She Got Excommunicated From The Catholic Church For Legalizing Racism Against Latino Americans...

According To Legal Definitions In 32 States, ICE's Activity Crossed The Line Into DOMESTIC TERRORISM Weeks Ago, Yet Not A Single One Of Those Pricks Has Been Arrested... Remember, Violating State Laws Voids Any Kind Of Immunity ICE Thinks They Have, Especially VIOLENT & TRAUMATIC OFFENSES...

No bets. It’s crossed my mind. They’re really ramping up violence, just like in Russia.

These must be the printed signs that Trump was going on about…expensive signs that are printed on big expensive printers.

Honest politician is an oxymoron.

Awful, heartbreaking. The FBI had to be forced to do the right thing. America isn’t as great as I was led to believe.
Lots of corruption, racism and freeloading billionaires who want everyone to make them richer.

This current American presidential administration is run by people who are quite obviously mentally ill, and we need to start talking about that.

Nope on Cuomo.
He put his hands up staffers shirts, and in one case honked their boobs against their consent. WTF.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 10h

Andrew Cuomo is incapable of speaking clearly and directly about Trump’s authoritarianism.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

It's a sign of how many people (and journalists) live inside a media-created alternate reality that skill in the style of televised public performance associated with Hollywood actors is considered equivalent to 'authenticity'

Brendan Nyhan @brendannyhan.bsky.social · 10h

This is an obsession of mine - a huge pathology of the press is coverage suggesting that politicians who are less skilled performers are somehow less "authentic"

Fascist and authoritarian movements rely on misinformation and fear to gain power. We must actively counter their lies, propaganda, and scaremongering with verifiable facts.
