Love the Hide This Post feature on @Bluesky. Every post that I know is a lie, whether a screenshot or text, gets hidden. We need to stop spreading their lies...even in the interest of informing others. They say outrageous things so we spread their lies.

Would be great if you used your voice to amplify the crimes of the MAGA Regime (not "Trump administration") AND to support Medicare For All

The time has come & you should have something to say on this, like the lovely lady below

Looking forward to more voting wins to pound the destructive right wingers back into their slimy swamp mud 🌊🌊

And a wealth tax on their sponsor rats hiding behind the scenes, pulling the strings.

We have officially entered the era of massive cruelty. We once fought a war to end this kind of thing. Now, we are engaging in extreme cruelty to rid the nation of brown people. This is a shameful time. We were supposed to be moving forward, not backward.

Jason Crow: "I did three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw the unedited video of that double tap strike in early September that killed survivors. It was gutting to me because there was just no justification for that second strike. That's not who we are as a country."

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.

It’s a win for oligarchy.

The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE

This could’ve been avoided 30 years ago.

Maria Farmer’s 1996 FBI complaint has been unearthed in the Epstein files. It was the first time he was reported to the authorities. And they buried it.

“If the FBI had listened to me in 1996, there would’ve been no more victims.”

I’m old enough to remember when CBS News would never have surrendered to a demagogic president or any other politician. Remember Edward R. Murrow?

NEW: Statement from some Epstein survivors:

"It is alarming that the United States Department of Justice, the very agency tasked with upholding the law, has violated the law, both by withholding massive quantities of documents, and by failing to redact survivor identities.."

To be clear, this should be one of the biggest scandals to ever reach the presidency.

DOJ - after illegally scrubbing Trump from the Epstein files - is retroactively removing files they missed that would be embarrassing to the President.

It’s a complete affront to Justice.

So CBS News paid President Trump millions to settle a baseless lawsuit over 60 Minutes editing a Kamala Harris interview the way they edit every interview, then a self-styled free speech champion took over CBS News and censored a 60 Minutes report exposing Trump admin actions, do I have that right?

This was my approach when trying to get oral interviews with segregationists for my first book.

“I’m writing about you and I’d love to get your input, but I’m writing about you either way.”
You do everything in your power to get every relevant voice in a story. But as one of my former colleagues told a local official who thought his silence would kill a piece: “I’d like to have you. But the story is being written with or without you.”
Reporter: We have 3 videos, 2 breathalyzers, 4 bartenders, and a minivan full of nuns attesting to how the driver was drunk and reckless when he hit the school bus.

Weiss; What did the driver say.

Reporter: He and his lawyer won’t talk. We asked them 5 times.

Weiss: I’m killing your story.

Bari Weiss censoring 60 Minutes to protect Trump is EXACTLY why she was hired. Larry Ellison runs CBS since he funded the purchase. See photo below of Larry with Trump. It's why Trump agreed to let Larry buy Tik Tok. It will be right wing propoganda on issues from US politics to Middle East
