Threats to Free Speech Won’t End with Late-Night Comedians - Roosevelt Institute The media industry today is more consolidated than ever, with 5 companies controlling 90 percent of mass media, compared to 50 companies 30 years ago. Of course, this level of consolidation can act as...

Free speech depends on a diverse media landscape.

Consolidation hands politicians and corporations the power to decide which voices get heard—and which don’t.

Its impact is becoming increasingly evident every day, and it is a danger to democracy. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/threats...

Trump Slaps His Name on Infrastructure Projects Funded by Biden Donald Trump is more than happy to claim credit for a Biden law he actively tried to kill.

Trump Slaps His Name on Infrastructure Projects Funded by Biden

Was the deadly US attack on the Venezuelan vessel legal? The U.S. military killed 11 people aboard a vessel in the Caribbean on Tuesday.

What happened to freedom of navigation and no harmful interference in international waters. Wake up! This was a war crime targeting individuals based on assumptions without evidence. No due process, no regard for international law, no thought for constitutional law.

Photos capture Chicagoans’ protest against ICE and Trump’s intervention plans CHICAGO (AP) — Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration a...

Props to Chicago. How can we be more like them? We must stand up while it's still allowed! #1stAmendment

They’re going to try to make you feel insane for opposing this war. They’ll ignore protests and downplay any opposition. They’ll try to strongarm you into submission.

They did it with Iraq and they’ll do it again.

And then a few years later they’ll pretend they were with you all along.

AOC: You are not aware that the Trump Department of Justice is investigating the largest insurance company in America for fraud of Medicare Advantage that you have jurisdiction over?

Wow so you’re telling me everyone who cheered on the Iraq war is on board with this now too? And so are the people who opposed the Iran nuclear deal and killed it?

You’re kidding.

Vance says U.S. 'not at war with Iran, we're at war with Iran's nuclear program' President Donald Trump said Saturday night that the U.S. had dropped bombs on three Iranian nuclear sites, the first time the U.S. has directly attacked Iran.

The war of semantics waged within. We stand for peace? With this twisted wordplay, he weaponizes cognitive dissonance, bending lies into truths until even fiction feels justified. How can you not see? Your leader is a fraud, a grifter, a puppet of foreign interests, hellbent on destroying the USA.

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

1000%

That was fast.

Trump’s world is eons from reality

He promised lower costs, but groceries have increased & gas averages at $3.17 per gallon

He said he would be providing health coverage - His new bill eliminates healthcare for a huge part of the country

It's time Rs realize Trump is unfit to serve

Trump Administration Halts Harvard’s Ability to Enroll International Students

This is America...I mean is this America? Do we still live in the land of opportunity? The land of the free? I don't know what to expect anymore...

Republicans are getting desperate and forced to back peddle by the courts. This attempt at a power grab will be a short term victory for them. Trust the courts to win the long term victories! We are seeing them do the right things, we just cannot get quiet!

You feeling the shift?

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

Discouraged by politics? Change starts with action. Reject oligarchy—get involved locally. Your voice matters. #TakeAction #LocalPower

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

But but Hillary's emails and stuff... 🙄

Republican presidential administrations did both

This. All of this! It doesn't matter if you didn't know, there are still consequences for actions, even if you play dumb.

Took a social media hiatus for a bit here. A lot happened this last week. People are poisoning their liver with Vitamin A on recommendation from a cabinet member. Another texted the press war plans. It is amazing how unprofessional and disorganized this team is, but yet they move fast!
