“This is actually how democracy dies”: Experts denounce ABC's settlement of Trump’s lawsuit.

STOP obeying in advance.
trump has NO fucking mandate.

PASS IT ON.

Yep.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

This strikes me as a bit like mcCarthyism…..

All of the talk on ESPN about conference “good” or “bad” losses neglects to say why Notre Dame should even have a chance to be in the top 10. They NEVER have to deal with conference issues. If you want to argue that Alabama should be in, argue that they’d be undefeated playing ND’s schedule.

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

QUESTION: Hannity says Joe Biden lied when he said he would never pardon Hunter. But Hannity is divorced. So when he vowed to stay with his wife until death did them part, was he lying, or did circumstances change?

Wowsa. Journalist @janemayer.bsky.social, who broke the story on Hegseth in the @newyorker.com just said on @maddowblog.bsky.social that since the story broke, her phone has been ringing off the hook with more people calling who witnessed Hegseth’s extreme drunkenness.

This quote

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

didn’t see quite the same level of outrage about these pardons

As I have somehow surpassed 7k followers on here I thought it might be nice to do a giveaway: All 7 of my books to one lovely winner. Just share and like to be in with a chance! 😁📚

This is always wrong. Including when it REPEATEDLY happened to each of us who opposed Trump. Including swatting attempts to my house. Including requiring security details.

None of these folks spoke up to condemn that then. Speaker Johnson was silent.

Media: remember this during Sunday shows

Well it worked—mission accomplished for Donald Trump.

That f*cker ran for president to escape facing accountability for his crimes and in the process proves that he is above the law. The justice system failed America.

A poem by Langston Hughes titled "Tired". It reads as the following: "I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two -- And see what worms are eating At the rind."

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

It just hurts more….

I don’t think that’s what the word “censor” means

Can you get some college athletic programs, etc. to post on here along with the other forums (that other 💩 one that we all hate) so that we get news as it happens?

'Viruses Are Our Friend'— 10 Off the Wall Video Clips from RFK Jr. Resurface on Bluesky Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

I really like this forum and format…but the advantage of “that other one” is that I can get immediate updates on scores/news, etc. of whatever teams I follow. Any ideas on how those things can improve, or am I missing something? I am off “the other one”. I do like this better than Threads.
