Top news outlets underplay right-wing declaration of war against the left | Press Watch
The Times and the Post tried to shoehorn the shocking statements into their both-sides framing of the Kirk shooting as a symptom of political polarization
presswatchers.org
Truth is truth; it’s time for left-wing media to stop walking on rice paper. When they do this, it a disservice to all of us. There seems to be an imbalance of truth and factual information when the right wing-media can say anything they want, but the left-wing media is held in check.
Public man made death. Not a natural tragedy. Not an unpredictable event. A political choice that ended hundreds of thousands of lives. Most of them children.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” is the phrase Donald Trump and his followers love to fling at anyone who dares to object to his behavior.
Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t a disease of the critics; it’s the predictable response to a leader who thrives on hate.

Since his appointment, RFK Jr. has pursued a brutal vision of American health that several experts liken to a sort of eugenics. Kennedy has made it clear that certain deaths are acceptable or even preferable to a world where every child is vaccinated.
Death is the policy

I wonder how much $$$$$ Trump made from powerful men calling in asking that their names be redacted from the #Epstein files? I believe I heard something like 500 pages worth of information was redacted in this last dump. I wouldn’t trust any of them as far as I could throw them.

Trump calls female journalists obnoxious, terrible, stupid, nasty, stupid ugly, terrible insubordinate and piggy. Are we going to normalize this and usher in unprecedented misogyny or will the press core act as one and say no more? Apathy or fear is not our friend.

I’m deeply concerned by reports of a second deportation flight to Iran, including vulnerable individuals who could face persecution by the brutal Islamic Republic regime. The Trump Administration must follow the law and uphold due process for Iranian asylum seekers.

Gregory Bovino is exactly who E.B. White — author of 'Charlotte's Web' — warned us about
DHS named its North Carolina anti-immigrant effort "Operation Charlotte's Web." In 1940, White wrote of the "smell" that "rises" from those who "adjust to fascism" over freedom.

We have failed to take care of the planet that has given us life and are leaving our children and grandchildren a legacy of rising seas, burning forests, and vanishing species—a world diminished by our neglect, yet still holding the fragile hope that they might do better than we did.
President Trump is pursuing a policy of climate-change acceleration. His actions are fueling global warming—and may leave places in the United States uninhabitable by mid-century, Vann R. Newkirk II writes.
