This is what the fourth estate wanted. Why aren’t y’all proud of where your peers brought us?

They’re allergic to that sort of this. As a rule.

You absolute star! That worked perfect!

Republicans would rather cut taxes for billionaire donors than fund research for children with cancer.

That is why our country is on the brink of a government shutdown that will crash the economy, hurt working class Americans and likely be the longest in history.

Welcome back to the MAGA swamp.

It’s just the knee jerk response at this point. Anything to give them another few months of pretending like their peers, neighbors, and family members aren’t the real danger.

Saves you the trouble. The only thing I dislike about this app is being unable to block back.

They fall back on blaming Democrats in order to excuse their own peers. Eventually there will be no more Democrats to blame and they’ll have to face reality.

It’s clearly not beneath him.

They shiv Democrats from the left and the right and then wonder why Democrats don’t have the power to save them.

My guess is that as long as there is a Democrat to blame the first type will continue to pretend the election wasn’t the point of no return.

There is a very noticeable dichotomy going on in posts I see these days.

A whole bunch of white pundits/influencers/journos wailing “Where is Biden/Harris? Why aren’t they doing X?”

And a whole bunch of Black accounts wondering at what point reality will finally sink in for the wailers.

Every day another institution bows down, another billionaire kisses the ring, another legacy media outlet obeys.

When white dudes are the punchline, Dems are “alienating” or “childish.”

But if Dems push back on racism, misogyny, homophobia/transphobia, etc., then we’re “woke scolds.”

Funny, that.

Isn’t it interesting how the media and pundit class dudes who are moaning about Dems being a party of “woke scolds” are mostly the same dudes that spent the election months scolding Dems about things like couch jokes?

This was a very close election. Trump does not have a mandate to impose sweeping changes, and Democrats are fools to cower to Mr. 49%.

Dems shoulda coulda woulda, just stop. Your mee maw voted for trump because she's a racist. So are your neighbors, your bestie & your brother. That's it. They heard everything he said & did & promised to do & they liked it. They weren't fooled. Stop trying to blame anyone else but them.

I'm not hearing the same calls from political reporters for us to understand Kamala Harris's 75 million voters as I heard for us to understand Donald Trump's 74 million voters in the last election. Why is that? 🤔

We shouldn’t be expected to meet bad people on their terms

Thank you for illustrating why our demographic — and especially your part of it — can never be trusted to remain allies to anything or anyone.

This is the sad state of country. Large institutions are failing us. As I write tomorrow: We Are on Our Own.

Manipulating the Narrative: Trump, Tech Giants, and the Battle for the Information Space Donald Trump’s return to power is shaping up to be a cautionary tale of how authoritarian ambitions intertwine with control over the information space.

My latest on Trump's fight to control the information space and the disgraceful capitulation by some in media and tech moguls before he has even taken office

No one — large account or small — owes you a follow. People follow and unfollow for lots of reasons and many people are wary of cluttering up their feeds with misinfo again.

If you’re this desperate for attention, *you* are the problem.

The Choices I’ve Made From Marc | Since the election, media figures and outlets have followed suit — each moving gradually towards obedience to Trump and then suddenly.

A reminder of the choices I've made.

"If, at some point in the future, Democracy Docket goes quiet or goes bankrupt, it will be because its subscribers and members have decided that it is no longer worth supporting. Until then, I can promise you, it will not obey and it will not back down."

We are asking Ukrainians to defeat the armies of Putin and Kim Jong Un. In their efforts to do so, Ukrainians helped bring down Assad. Ukrainian resistance is one of the most stunning military achievements in modern history.

The Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 made the US Postal Service an independent organization. It hasn’t been part of the Cabinet for over half a century. It takes ten seconds to Google the fact that Biden never had the power to fire DeJoy.

The President had no power to fire DeJoy. Congress removed that power decades ago.

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

In a plea deal today, Alexander Smirnov admitted he made up the Ukrainian bribery allegations against Joe Biden, claims that derailed Hunter Biden’s plea deal.

The press should be ashamed for fueling this nonsense. It’s further proof a pardon for Hunter was the right move.

A lot of folks are upset or worried about “angry Black Women” but folks should have always been worried about us being indifferent.

An indifferent Black Woman is an entirely different beast. The fight is not gone but the desire to show folks that a hard head makes a soft ass has replaced it🤷🏾‍♀️
