Sepia-toned historical photograph of Jesse James, a notorious 19th-century outlaw. He is seated and staring directly at the camera, dressed in Civil War-era clothing with a pistol visible at his side. The image evokes the myth of the American cowboy β€” rugged, armed, and solitary β€” a legend that hides a violent and lawless reality.

The cowboy didn’t save the town.
He burned it, looted it, and rode off crowned a hero.
The myth was never about saving anyone β€” just keeping the white man the hero, no matter how much burned behind him.

Imagine how vile and despicable of a human being you must be for the entire world to wish you were dead.

Is it just me, or is AARP being suspiciously quiet? I get that they’re a business, but come onβ€”this budget threatens Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Where are the billboards? The bullhorns? The all-out social media blitz? Shouldn't they be speaking up? Am I missing something?

The Democratic Senators below are wavering or leaning toward supporting the CR.

--> URGENT ACTION: Call your Senator asap, even if not on the list. Call Senator Chuck Schumer's office, telling him he must corral the Democrats to vote together and vote NO.

They pardoned the guys that beat police officers and smeared their shit in the Capitol but they’re removing the Black member of Congress, who is elected and standing up for Americans

Trump has canceled Biden's ethics rules. Critics call it the opposite of 'drain the swamp' Donald Trump took office eight years ago pledging to β€œdrain the swamp” of the dominance of Washington influence peddlers.

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees.

Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law

Time to do things that make him react to you.

Trump Is Using a Familiar Playbook to Erode U.S. Press Freedoms The experiences of other backsliding democracies demonstrate the dangers facing U.S. media freedoms during his second term.

For @wpr.bsky.social, Margot Treadwell & I highlight 3 strategies Trump is using to erode independent media:

➑️ Chilling effects through vilification, barriers to access & lawsuits
➑️ Exploiting the media sector's economic vulnerabiities to exert control
➑️ Cultivating alternative information channels

New reporting indicates that Elon Musk has assembled a team of six young men, ages 19 to 24, to infiltrate and gut government agencies like USAID.

It's outrageous, it's unacceptable, and it proves beyond doubt that no expertise or analysis has gone into these unlawful actions.
