WATCH — @peterbeinart.bsky.social : “Why did it take this long? We are profoundly complicit. The blood is on our hands as Americans because it is our weapons responsible for those children starving to death in Gaza… if Israel disagrees, let CNN’s cameras in.”

Trump’s Labor Department is aiming to rewrite or repeal 60+ regulations, including:

-Minimum wage for home health care workers
-Protections for migrant farm workers
-Construction & mine safety
-OSHA’s ability to punish employers for unsafe workplaces

The "pro-worker” president.

I've seen more politicians decrying Israel's starvation of Palestinians.

I've seen almost none of them suggest cutting off US funds to Israel until Israel implements a ceasefire and lets in aid/food.

Expressing concern without practical action is insufficient.

The thing about all these fucking statements now from world leaders calling for the food to be let in to Gaza: you have the ability to impose sanctions on Israel and every second you spend talking instead of imposing them is a collaborationist lie.

Paramount settled Trump's frivolous lawsuit against 60 Minutes. Stephen Colbert rightfully spoke out about it. Now he's getting fired.

Reminder that Paramount needs approval from the FCC to be acquired by Skydance — a media company founded by the son of billionaire Trump-backer Larry Ellison.
CBS cancels Stephen Colbert’s show days after Trump settlement criticism
The late-night host had scoffed at a decision by CBS’s parent company to pay the U.S. president $16 million over a disputed interview.

Tedious to point this out, but:

- When a tongue-tied Biden said "President of Mexico" instead of "Prez of Egypt," it was a several day story.

-Hours after Trump says whoever appointed J Powell made a big mistake (it was him), the episode appears not to merit a story on any national-media sites.

A single person — Donald Trump — has released the dogs of war and done it without the consent of Congress, our allies, or even a clear explanation to the American people.

Anyone who has doubted Trump’s intention to replace our democracy with a dictatorship should now be fully disabused.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

-- DHS goons handcuffing a U.S. Senator
-- Marines in LA violating posse comitatus
-- political assassinations in MN

And that's just, like, the last couple of days

As Israel starves Gaza via blockade, food that could feed 3.5 million people for a month sits unused and rotting due to Trump slashing USAID funds and programs.

The food was intended for emergency distribution in famine-stricken areas including Gaza and Sudan.

Early alerts are basically our only defenses against tornadoes. It is sad to think that for the first time in 50 years we may be backsliding to a time when tornadoes strike without warning.
