The big tech founder who has a 256-foot $75 million superyacht to "shadow" his 417-foot $500 million superyacht, because the bigger yacht lacks a helipad, is very worried about his newspaper's financials

I would note that this disdain points in one direction. These legacy media outlets have been quick to cover and hype tea party protests, anti-mask/anti-vax protests, and countless other examples of what they call β€œreal Americans” engaging in protest.

Since people are remembering the tea party: a critical part to remember is that much like the open up campaigns of 2020, it started as an astroturf campaign by billionaires like the Koch brothers.

When I say the media has a deference to money and power I mean it.

Republicans are all stick and no carrot, unless the whole carrot farm is going to the wealthy.

Which is *exactly* what some of us have saying he would do.

Oh, and he’s funneling NATO intelligence to Russia.

Trump is a Russian asset and a traitor.

Nothing that any elected Democrat has ever said about Republican voters is ever as crass or as cruel as what Trump says about Democratic constituencies every single day, and the media just treats it as background noise.

there were people saying this is where everything was headed way back in 2020 and they were scoffed at and ignored and sidelined by the dem party. and if you ask me, maybe the people who did the scoffing should be less influential in the party going forward. just imo

I am not a happy Mariners fan. But tomorrow! Hoping for a turnaround.

There are no norms, no civility or respectability you could abide by as a liberal, centrist, libertarian or whoever that will ever be recognized by the MAGA far right. You are either a fascist loyalist who lets them openly commit crimes or you are a radical 'enemy of the state' to them.

My most radical political belief is that everyone should be able to go to the doctor.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers.

He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them.

His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors.

And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

Like a lot of things with RFK Jr if someone just said this to you and wasn’t in charge of medicine in America you’d go: ooooooookay and keep pressing the elevator button

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

The President of the United States is lying and/or delusional, and it seems like we should be talking about this and nothing else.

I think if you burn an American flag, you’re probably an asshole.

That being said, I’ll defend your right to do so with everything I have.

Symbolic speech is protected by the First Amendment, and no imaginary executive order from Trump changes that.

If a Democrat promised to, say, not raise taxes, and then entered office and signed a bill that raised taxes, the media would freak out - "Will President Harris's broken promise doom her in 2028?"

Anybody else been noticing that public media has been making a turn to the right over the last year (or longer)? The capture and fear of being sued goes far beyond the for-profit realm.

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...
