Yep.
ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

This strikes me as a bit like mcCarthyism…..
Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

All of the talk on ESPN about conference “good” or “bad” losses neglects to say why Notre Dame should even have a chance to be in the top 10. They NEVER have to deal with conference issues. If you want to argue that Alabama should be in, argue that they’d be undefeated playing ND’s schedule.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story
The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million
Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

QUESTION: Hannity says Joe Biden lied when he said he would never pardon Hunter. But Hannity is divorced. So when he vowed to stay with his wife until death did them part, was he lying, or did circumstances change?

Wowsa. Journalist @janemayer.bsky.social, who broke the story on Hegseth in the @newyorker.com just said on @maddowblog.bsky.social that since the story broke, her phone has been ringing off the hook with more people calling who witnessed Hegseth’s extreme drunkenness.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

This is always wrong. Including when it REPEATEDLY happened to each of us who opposed Trump. Including swatting attempts to my house. Including requiring security details.
None of these folks spoke up to condemn that then. Speaker Johnson was silent.

Well it worked—mission accomplished for Donald Trump.
That f*cker ran for president to escape facing accountability for his crimes and in the process proves that he is above the law. The justice system failed America.

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I really like this forum and format…but the advantage of “that other one” is that I can get immediate updates on scores/news, etc. of whatever teams I follow. Any ideas on how those things can improve, or am I missing something? I am off “the other one”. I do like this better than Threads.
