The thing that has always mystified me about Trump is that he is unquestionably the biggest little bitch to ever live and I don’t understand how people see him throw little hissy fits like this constantly and think β€œyeah that’s my guy”

He announced his presidential campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi! Because it was where the KKK murdered 3 civil rights activists! Just naked, blatant racism from the jump

The U.S. press allows Trump/MAGA/GOP to drive the news agenda instead of driving it itself, which it still largely believes is not its responsibility. #Journalism

To understand the media's double standard in matters of religion, imagine what the narrative would be like if agents of the state shot a minister in the head with pepper balls as he was praying at an anti-abortion protest.

HEADLINE: GOV'T PERSECUTES CHRISTIANS

That should be now, but nah.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

53 Italian soldiers were killed in action in Afghanistan. JD claimed that Italy and other NATO members β€œdidn’t contribute” in the conflict. He’s spitting on the graves of Allies who laid down their lives at our request and he has the audacity to tell them not to boo him?

a lot of ex-mil people on here who served in the gwot have noted, correctly, that the stuff ice is doing would a) have gotten them killed and/or b) gotten them in a lot of trouble. war crimey stuff was correctly treated like war crimes etc

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

This alludes to something I am annoyed by which is that the higher ups in the company are the ones who created the situation at WaPo where all the subscribers left, and now the same higher ups are going β€œsomeone needs to pay a price for this” but they’re firing the sports guy instead of themselves

Pew finds 60% oppose pausing visas and 66% oppose nixing asylum! People overinterpreted 2024 as a seismic shift to Trump on immigration. But the data is showing very broad opposition to the restrictionist, ethnonationalist, anti-humanitarian aspects of Trumpism. 5/5

I personally do not think some rich man should be able to buy an institution like this like a toy and then break it when he doesn’t want to play with it anymore. bsky.app/profile/benm...

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBSβ€”oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

The only opinions I’ve heard of Groundhog Day range from β€œcool movie” to β€œpossibly the most beautiful, religious experience ever committed to film.”

medieval illustration of a person wearing a pink dress but instead of a torso with a neck and head on top the torso is a simple displeased round egg like face with arms and a waist coming out of it
