Fox set the standard for lying in American media, and it just seems lies or half truths are the normal from everyone else. Nobody calls out the lies from politicians, and they just get bigger as needed to cover up.

Our media is owned by billionaires, and they're acting like bought entities.

When fascism came to America, centrists were upset we didnโ€™t meet it halfway.

I just see people trying to get by where I live, oblivious to the fact their freedoms are going away. They won't get it until it's too late.

This is the time in history weโ€™ll tell our grandkids about, just as we were told stories of WWII or Vietnam. We learned about the outcomes, the tragedies, and who the heroes were. How will we tell these stories? How will they end โ€ฆ and what did we learn?

Weโ€™re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

She believes the kingdom has begun and she doesn't have to answer anyone. Right now it appears she is right.

The subhed here is a master class in corporate journalism rewarding malfeasance via semantics

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient

And that's a profile in cowardice

You can joke about Pam Bondiโ€™s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but Iโ€™m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. โ€” This should shake everyone to their core.
