Maybe this will finally prompt us to institute an accuracy doctrine on all platforms (including mainstream media). First amendment says you can say whatever you'd like. But it has to be *clearly* labeled as non-news/false if not actually true. If that label is removed, you're in violation.

A remarkable self-own and considerable academic stain on Texas Tech. Could someone start a head of lettuce timer to see how long this lasts? My guess is that once again the lettuce will win.

This is 2025’s “I can’t breathe.”

Do not turn away. Get really loud.

Protest. Call your electeds.

Do not give up. Do not despair. You never know what will tip the scale.

This is immoral & unjust & inhumane.

@democrats.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social Do something now.

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!”

Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now.

What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

By the way, Disney, either option is a loss for you. Have you learned yet that having Republicans in office is not a good business strategy in the long run? Perhaps you need to think a bit more carefully about where your political donations are going come election season.

Bernie Lohr @blohr.bsky.social · 14d

Aside from the blatantly unconstitutional nature of this statement, it also points to just how bad a businessman he is.

I can see Disney execs now weighing their options. 16-20 million for Trump vs. > 3 billion loss in stock value as a result of the cancellation.

This post alone would be enough in Europe for a president or prime minister to lose their job.

In the US, it’s just another day at the office, which shows how it’s slipping into a sad dictatorship

Protect our lands and keep our roadless areas ROADLESS!

Rolling back the Roadless Rule would be devastating for New Mexicans and wildlife alike.

That’s why the entire NM delegation is urging Secretary Rollins to exclude NM from any attempt to rescind this rule. We won't back down.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.

Y'know that study that the DOJ deleted from their website? The one concluding that "the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism"?

Here it is. Just read the first paragraph:

Kimmel criticizes MAGA and Trump. Kilmeade calls for killing the homeless. Who gets taken off the air?

We are entering the stage of state run media kowtowing to a wannabe fascist dictator.

As a small respite from the ongoing political insanity I found *the* recording of Danse Macabre I spent countless hours listening to as a child and young adult. This is the Paray recording (definitely one of the cleanest and crispest; and I do love good recordings... 🙂 ). So great.

1. Trump and his allies have concocted a series of lies about the horrific murder of a 23-year-old woman in Charlotte in a transparent effort to secure an advantage in a critical North Carolina race that could swing control of the U.S. Senate.

It's nasty stuff.

Follow this thread for details.

A tragic murder, a baseless smear, and the fight for the U.S. Senate

A high-stakes race for an open U.S. Senate seat in North Carolina has gotten nasty very quickly.
