I should have clarified in the US it's billionaires buying media .

ICE Sent 600 Immigrant Kids to Detention in Federal Shelters This Year. It’s a New Record. Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations are happening all over the count...

“Today, family separations are back, only now they are happening all across the country.” www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

And he kept his underwear on.

This is the same cowardice in American journalism today but it also has to do with Trump's friends and fellow billionaires buying up our media to censor journalism and mold it into a propaganda machine that is exploited to service their agenda.

In this piece, @aselrod.bsky.social reminds us that Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson are trafficking in the vilest forms of male supremacy and are flourishing as huge stars on the right, so there's clearly a huge following for that sort of depravity:

JD Vance on the same morning Trump calls for execution of elected Democrats: "He's not a violent person:"

Trump is currently reposting accounts, actively calling for the murder and hanging of Democratic politicians..

Beware AI.
It spreads misinformation.
Don't trust the results without fact checking and confirming.
Definitely be very wary of the new AI Startup "ChatCPC."

You know what he really wanted to say was bitch.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat the bacon

Ghislaine Maxwell Has Custom Meals and Pet A Puppy Behind Bars: Lawmakers Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee say a whistleblower revealed that Maxwell has received special treatment in prison.

Unique among inmates, Ghislaine Maxwell gets room service in her cell, after-hours access to recreation, a private visitor suite with refreshments and even a service-dog puppy to play with.

Is this a federal prison sentence or a comped stay at a Trump Hotel?

You started that trend, babe

Don't behave like one

There were 12,13 and 14 yr olds.

That's maga mindset. I'll vote blue but I'll vote in primaries to better my party because they are not perfect. I hope to replace those who are bowing to the corporate donors and those who are weak at governing in this atmosphere.

Democrats are rudderless. Leadership is weak and going in a different direction than their voters while Republicans are mindless lemmings following the dear leader for the moment.

He said the friendship ended in the early 2000s and yet they had Thanksgiving together in his first year as president and they met with Prince Andrew together before Epstein's arrest.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Big Law’s Big Choice A D.C. Bar opinion shows why it would be ethical for the nine Big Law firms to rescind their settlement agreements with Trump. But to do so would invite his wrath.

Put bluntly, can a law firm really represent a client zealously against the Trump’s administration when, at the same time, it is seeking to stay on Trump’s good side through an settlement agreement? ICYMI @rosenzweigp.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/big-law-bi...

Oh, Mary, please.

Puh-leeze, even.

Glad to see @maxboot.bsky.social focusing on Alvin Holsey. Rep Adam Smith told me that GOPers on Armed Services Committee are declining to press for Holsey's testimony.

“We need to hear: Did he quit because he believed he was being given illegal orders?” Smith says.

This is obscene.

Trump says he needs to hold on to the contingency funds used to feed people because he needs to “stay liquid” in case he needs the money for something more important.

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

“It is outrageous that YouTube is furthering the Trump administration’s agenda to remove evidence of human rights violations and war crimes from public view,” said Katherine Gallagher, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights.
