People must grasp the idea of “media capture.”
It’s when authoritarian regimes and/or their powerful allies take control of media to stifle independent voices holding the government to account.
It’s one way Hungary’s Viktor Orbán keeps power.
In the U.S., it’s what the Ellisons have done with CBS.

The Trump regime is breaking the law by not releasing all the Epstein files today and by sticking Trump's name on the Kennedy Center and by continuing to murder people on boats near Venezuela.
The White House is in the hands of criminals, and they'll keep committing crimes until we stop them.

Putting a Black woman on “mute” is typical of this administration & then lying about the vote being “unanimous” - this is beyond despicable.
Republicans seethe with hatred that oozed out from every pore on their bodies.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Fentanyl’s a common ingredient in epidurals.
And just like the fuss Republicans make with Mifepristone, which is needed on crash carts to stop postpartum hemorrhage.
They don’t understand medicine/ pharmacology, and DGAF about women.
