The Trump regime’s absurd smear of Renee Good as a “domestic terrorist” isn’t just rhetorical.
It’s part of a plan (NSPM-7) to suppress opposition to their authoritarian policies by using the government’s power against “domestic terrorism.” We broke it down here:

Trump is targeting the First Amendment rights of all Americans
Using the Kirk murder to justify the creation of a domestic terrorist group label is the one step in squelching all opposition.

With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

Hey fam, just checking -- is it normal for the Fed Chair to allege via video that the President is using the pretext of a criminal investigation to undermine the independence of our nation's monetary policy? 🧐
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

Organisers clarify award ‘cannot be revoked, shared or transferred’ after Venezuelan opposition leader’s comments
The organisers of the Nobel peace prize have said it “cannot be revoked, shared or transferred” after Venezuela’s opposition leader, María Corina Machado, said she wanted to give her award to Donald Trump.
When Machado was named Nobel laureate in October, it was seen as a snub by the White House, despite Machado rushing to dedicate the prize to the US president and his “decisive support of our cause”. Continue reading...

With Bari Weiss in charge, CBS has stopped doing legitimate journalism. I decided to just go to a random recent page to see what kind of bias they're giving now and immediately found this.

Good advice from my boss!
“I just wanted people to know I was with them. I wanted people who aren’t Spanish-speaking to see we’re a part of this nation’s history... I never meant it as disrespect... Two things can be true: You can be a proud American and want better for your country.”
One of the few silver linings that have come from this harsh year of deportations and ICE raids is that it has clarified which people and institutions will use their voices to push back and which will choose accommodation.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.
