I remember when extramarital affairs were described as an "indiscretion", but now the self-appointed arbiters of morality now describe rape is an "indiscretion"🤔

Trump pardoned Steve Bannon in 2021. Bannon — who once served as Trump’s chief strategist in the WH — was pardoned as he awaited trial on federal fraud charges.

Bannon was one of four individuals accused of defrauding hundreds of thousands of donors in a “We Build the Wall” GoFundMe…

Pretty sure I speak for everyone when I say, respectfully, fuck off, Joe Manchin.

I knew Lawrence O’Donnel would bring the 🔥

European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X The EFJ represents over 295,000 journalists in 44 countries.

Just gonna drop this here…

South Korean president declares martial law in shock late-night address President Yoon Suk Yeol said the move was “aimed at eradicating pro-North Korean forces.”

South Korea’s president declared martial law today in a surprise late-night televised address, accusing the political opposition of siding with North Korea.

“'We want all of that disclosed because there is a genuine chance that, given the scale of what the Trump administration has planned, people could just disappear into federal custody,' said Sarah Turberville, director of the Constitution Project at the... Project On Government Oversight."

Dec. 3, 1970 | Cesar Chavez Jailed For Leading Boycott Against Coercive Farmers Learn more about our history of racial injustice.

On this day in 1970, Cesar Chavez was sentenced to an indefinite jail term for his work boycotting lettuce produced by farms that had used coercive tactics against the United Farm Workers.

Maddow: That is the behavior on January 6th that Trump is praising and promising to use the pardon power for. So, yeah, tell me all about the scandal of the use of the pardon power.

A thing everyone has forgotten is that Donald Trump basically sprang Roger Stone from prison so he could help with the coup and it was maybe a one day story.

A Chinese national, charged with fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18 million Chinese Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun paid $6.2 million for a banana — sold by Sotheby's as conceptual art — and then ate it last Friday.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story

The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

I can’t conceive of a man like this running the Pentagon. Hell, I can’t conceive of a woman having to be alone with this man.

Islamophobia, alcoholism, misogyny, alleged sex crimes, alleged fraud...this man sounds, at least per this report, like a one-man twenty-year crime spree. Read for yourself:

Speaking as someone who unfortunately committed a felony and assists others who have, WE have served our time and have had to redeem ourselves. We weren't fortunate enough to escape consequences and still maintain the right to vote while running for the highest office in our country. #privilege

The irony of being at bluesky right now is that we’re building back better.

Best illustration of how 'the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.'

When the justice system is used for anything other than appropriate and proportionate justice, the citizenry suffers the eventual consequences.

CONSEQUENCES: Citizens becoming desensitized to an unfair and cruel, (un)justice system...until they fall victim.

By then, who will care?

Love it! Head vs. Notebook.
