It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

No single person should have the power to do what Trump is doing right now unilaterally dictating world trade & fucking with the world economy. No person should have that power. Certainly not in this country. Shame on you Congressional Republicans for giving it to him. Shame on you.

Jeffrey Goldberg responds to attacks from Hegseth over his reporting: “[Hegseth] seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that he participated in a conversation on an unclassified commercial messaging app that he probably shouldn't have participated in.”

What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless.

These cowards are unbelievable. They’re mostly arresting law-abiding undocumented immigrants who _aren’t_ criminals, _aren’t_ violent and _work hard_. What they do is they make sure they pick up one or two guys who actually needed to be deported—people Democrats also would have deported—for cameras.

X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.
Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Andropov tried it too, but people feared him; when Gorbachev did it, they called him the "mineralnoye sekretar," the "mineral water secretary" (which was a pun that rhymed with "general secretary," his CPSU title).
It did not go well.

On the Russian vodka situation, I remember when Gorbachev cracked down on alcoholism, and it didn't end well. There was such an increase in moonshine that it caused a sugar shortage.

We’ve moved into a chapter when independent media offers a clearer commitment to confronting the danger of the Trump regime. Legacy media’s politics-as-usual failure to grasp our reality is part of why we’re in this mess. I hope you’ll read and subscribe (free or paid) to my America.substack.com.
