I’d be more interested in an analysis that investigated “fact checkers” equivocation/relativism and their role in creating a post truth world.

as long as we’re banning types of stock trading, let’s eliminate derivative trading and any other sort of trade that’s pure casino and not about actually raising capital for investment in the real world.

Israel needs a truth and reconciliation process.

If it’s limited to Israelis, it should start with Rabin’s assassination.

Trump and his ilk are standing on the shoulders of the giant that is America, whacking away at its legs with an ax

Hi. Hey. Mike here. When media companies cancel Late Night shows to appease fascist presidents, America fucking ends.

I don’t know how you manage to keep your head up and stay engaged in today’s world. But I respect it.

It's happening here.

Before Tragedy, Texas Repeatedly Rejected Pleas for Flood Alarm Funding

The flood should remind us -- as the Uvalde school shooting did -- that Republican governance is incompetent & leads to more people dying.

Well @schumer.senate.gov, since you asked, you could say:

"I resign. We failed you by betraying bedrock @democrats.org principles and constituencies to chase wall street cash and mythical centrist votes. Please embrace leaders seeking to revive the New Deal ideals that truly made American great."

We need a new party.

fortunately, the purveyors of the abundance theory rely on a near death media ecosystem led by the New York Times and it’s ilk.

Mamdani and the American “left” should stop interacting with @nytimes.com political reporters. They are not honest brokers and have not been for 10+ years. Arguably since Miller/Scooter Libby.

It’s canon, now, that that T should be capitalized.

I wish someone start an insurgency within the Dem party raising the banner of FDR‘s four freedoms and welcome the hatred of oligarchs and dare the current Democratic leadership to defy them. Given the Dem leadership wants to copy Trump, we could call it “make America great again“

Hannah Arendt: Facing Tyranny - About the documentary | American Masters | PBS Discover Hannah Arendt, who transformed her time as a political prisoner during World War II into daring insights about totalitarianism.

Wow. I cannot imagine a documentary that would be of greater interest to me. The timing is... insanely right.

Premiere is 6/27/2025 at 9pm ET www.pbs.org/wnet/america... via Maddow

at least she rid us of the plague that was Sen. Al Franken /s

I dunno. At this point, I don't even trust any Democrat that the Democratic Party doesn't try to kneecap.

it’s only with leaders, sorry “leaders“, like @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov that Dems like my @repaprildelaney.bsky.social can feel safe voting to thank ICE as Trump sends Marines to LA.

until Democrats acknowledge that part of the reason Trump exist is because of leaders like Schumer (D-Israel, Wall Street) the losses are gonna keep piling up. Unfortunately, those losses are American institutions and not just elections.

Jeff Bezos, like musk, like Trump are standing on the shoulders of a tottering giant whacking away at its legs with an ax.

Delaney, you are pretending as if it’s business as usual while fascism is on the March.

You just voted to salute ICE… AS TRUMP WAS SENDING MARINES TO LA. You’re an embarrassment to democracy.

any serious chance Bezos gives it up and someone takes the Hain route (ala the Baltimore Banner)?

@governorwalz.mn.gov: "The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you're overreacting."

* There is no one like Obama explicitly calling out Trump like was done with the Saturday Night Massacre. Obama and people like him (including especially Republicans) need to be making clear we are losing our democracy unless we all act, now.

People I know and love aren't taking appropriate action b/c of sanewashing. Because there is no Saturday Night Massacre. Yes we no longer have a fractured media landscape without authority over what's "true". That makes Obama et al naming names about the urgency of the moment *more* important.

Whether you call this "fixing" or not, having authority figures emphatically denounce Trumpism and put it in context because it signals the urgency of the issue to "people" who are accustomed to being told what is real by the NYT. Those people need to be part of "together we rise".

NYT even has a euphemism for "sane people".

Where “troublemaking” = “truth telling”

The failure of Obama and Biden to reset norms after the lawless administration of George W and Trump are what brought us here today in terms of lawlessness and simple acceptance of this bullshit

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.
