Bari Weiss, CBS News, And The Conservative Media Takeover The billionaire-backed overhaul of CBS News is the culmination of a decades-long master plan.

I would just its the entire Repuglican party apparatus. And in addition to to autocracy it's transnational plutocracy.

"Trump and MAGA are waging war on Americans’ well-being, safety, education, free information, prosperity, and identity as proud inhabitants of a successful multi-racial and multi-faith democracy. Taking down that democracy for the benefit of global autocracy is the mandate."

The State of the Republic is Grim - Lawyers, Guns & Money If you’re on Bluesky and follow me, you’ve probably seen that I’m writing threads that really should be the basis for posts at LGM. You’ve also likely gotten a bead on where I am these days. Here’s a ...

"The Republic as we knew it is over. The fight now is whether the new one will be a fascistic, competitive authoritarian regime or a pluralist democracy that, we can hope, is better than what came before."

As someone who had family and mentors who had polio, and as a Star Trek fan, am I the only one who looking the "MedBeds" picture see more mid-20th Century Iron Lung and not so much 23rd Century Tech?

The Shutdown Will Make Trump's Theory of Government-ICE but No Healthcare-Visible - emptywheel No one knows how this shutdown will go. It truly is unlike any shutdown that has gone before. But it will serve to make the reality of Trump's abuse of power visible in a way that has not fully happen...

Not NYC specific, more national in scope, but i wanted share this best article ive seen, from what i consider a reliable source (with links/references) on the shutdown: www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/01/a...

#shutdown #Trump #republicans

Scarier then trump/hegseth speeches to fight officers but relatively under the radar was the most recent executive order, turns all center to left civil society (see image for list of crimes), and their funders into terrorists: www.facebook.com/share/p/19hv...

Trump signs order designating antifa as a ‘domestic terrorist organization’ Executive order revives controversial pledge from Trump’s first presidency in wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing

As in almost everything, tRump gets rewlity and facts wrong (but it wont matter). Antifa is International, not terrorist, and also not an organization.

But Pro-Fa lives in White House.

Outside of 26 Federal Plaza, New Yorkers are blocking ICE vans from leaving 26 Federal Plaza. These vans transfer kidnapped immigrants from courts to detention centers.
#ICEoutofNY

Happening NOW: PSC members + allies are at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the detention site on 10th floor—and block ICE vans from leaving.

We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. #NYvsICE #ICEoutofNY

Im assume and hope Z has not changed on Israel-Palestine. But for everyone pro-Pal or pro-Genocide he is running for Mayor and mostly about city issues mayor can don stuff about.

America's worst governor: make polio great again - Lawyers, Guns & Money National Review writers used to be furious if you pointed out that Ron DeSantis was anti-vaxx: Gov. Ron DeSantis’ state, which vocally resisted mandates during the Covid-19 pandemic, now may scrap all...

Republican dogma that your kid getting polio is a necessary price of “freedom,” while they lock up people for writing op-eds for college newspapers.

Dems and mainstream media gotta stop calling everything tRump a distraction from every else the tRump does. It's all part of authoritarian power grab on way to dictatorship.

Calling Governor Hochul!!!

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:

"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

Corporate wing of Democratic party is responsible for "Democratic" spam PACs that skim over 98 cents of every dollar to profit. To save democracy from Repuglicans we need to get rid of Dems who created and support this ecosystem.

@maxberger.bsky.social im sure the ADL will save us. 🤣

Today this feels extra relevant: www.facebook.com/share/v/1DsD...

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Yup, what @attackerman.bsky.social Mamdani has never been antisemitic, his plaform specifically calls out Antisemitism as leading hatecrine to be fought against. Zohran stands for uniting ALL NYers. NY Dems: be like menschs like Nadler & Lander, not Putzs like Goldman and Gillibrand

Now that Cuomo's out of the race, billionaires & Trump megadonors may back another corrupt disgraced politician: sitting Mayor Eric Adams who sold us all out to Donald Trump. Today, New Yorkers reminded Eric Adams - we know he's backed by the same billionaire Trump donors. And we are sick of it.

Honored to be there supporting Lander and DONT rank crooked creepy cuoumo.
