@onthemedia.bsky.social is hitting it out of the park with their explainers on just how dangerous the Christian nationalism being played out by SecDef Hegseth and the Trump admin is (and, in the second part, Thiel’s apocalypse fixation).

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.
Remember months ago when I was talking about people and their #EpsteinNumber as a way to take down congressman an others… well…
Finally ….

When the 90+ year old holocaust survivors are trying to hide the Haitians and save them from deportation …
…it’s time for the rest of you all to wake the fuck up.

How do you say “Abu Ghraib” in English? “Fort bliss,” apparently…
This kind of abuse is undoubtedly true, if not here, then at some other uncountable place where Trump has disappeared people — it’s what unaccountable people do.

I’m coming to realize there are two kinds of people in this country: those who think there’s too much suffering in the world, and those who think there’s not enough.
This week’s @onthemedia.bsky.social is devastating. Just devastating in its unblinking analysis of just what Trump has done to America on the world stage.

Great @onthemedia.bsky.social about #Trump v #Powell, the interview with Mark Blyth, professor of International Economics and Public Affairs at Brown University is stellar.

All of these people operate in a different sphere of existence from the rest of us. Why are you surprised in the least?
I would point out that Ottawa is a shorter throw than Caracas… and something, something “51st state.”
(Not that I have any better suggestions…)
When I asked Siri to play me some 80s hits last night I didn’t mean Elliot Abrams’ greatest Iran/Contra hits…
David Corn @davidcorn.bsky.social • 2m So it's a secret war? That's been considered an impeachable offense in the past. 2 minutes ago Iyler Pager The White House declined to comment on the reports of explosions in Caracas. 2 minutes ago Eric Schmitt Reporting from Washington A Pentagon spokesman referred all questions about the explosions to the White House.
How do you say “Cambodia” in Spanish?
“Venezuela,” apparently…
Screenshot of a post by Alex Luck criticizing others while showing an auction listing for a painting. The image displays a beach scene artwork featuring palm trees, a pinkish car, ocean waves, and a bright blue sky. Below the artwork is text identifying the artist as Hiroshi Nagai and describing the piece. Beneath that, a quoted post from the Department of Homeland Security repeats the phrase, “The peace of a nation no longer besieged by the third world.”
A Japanese artist made the print DHS lifted to spread anti-immigrant hate. Can't make this up.

“Is your ‘army’ in the room with us right now, Dan?”
Yet another disappointment for Laurence Tribe to know one of top students doesn’t even know that Mamdani can’t possibly, ever run for president.
That’s the nature of Rafael “Ted” Cruz to be a disappointment: To his law professors. His wife (whom he’s incapable of defending), his constituents…
The way to stop these “pundits” and their toxic BS is to make them part of the story. Open up their lives a sardine can and drag all their skeletons out into the light. It’s the only way to reset the media playing field.
Welcome to 1996. Swarm computing and “alife” is back en vogue again!
You wanna really have an existential freak out — this week's @onthemedia.bsky.social will provide it: www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/otm...
So now you’re giving them advise on how to be more effective? Whose side are you on, exactly…? 🤔
This has been true since Trump’s firing of many career DOJ officials, but is now is terminally true: ANYONE who stays on in their jobs at DOJ after this is not just complicit, but a co-conspirator in Trump’s lawlessness. Everyone needs to resign. Today.
What Black MAGA? The dozen or so paid rally attendees?
This is a great listen — back when American presidents had honor and gravitas …

Breaking: Intel capitulates to fascism.
Exactly. Wanna turn this up to an 11? Ask every #GOP Rep/Senator/cabinet-member:
“what’s your #EpsteinNumber?”
Their Epstein number == the number of times they show up in the Epstein files/videos/etc.
#Trump’s is in the hundreds. Make them deny they’re in there; hound them with it.
Scratch a Republican, reveal a sexual predator ….
That’s because all of you with real reach didn’t get the #EpsteinNumber trending to hound every GOP ghoul with their own (presumed) place on that list — maybe if you’d help make them squirm and run from their own involvement the outcome would be different.
