"It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand." ~ Mike Royko

The extreme fear of racist, misogynistic & pathetic white men of losing even an ounce of power & control has always been at the heart of all that is wrong with our country.
GOP = a modern version of a sickening historical pattern.
Gaslight
Oppress
Punish
He was the worst President in history. And when he got voted out, he tried to stage a coup. Then he stole national secrets and sold the ones he didn't store in the bathroom.
He was convicted of fraud, found liable of sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He is half a billion dollars in debt, owned by God only knows who, and the biggest national security risk the nation has ever had.
But at least he's not a Black woman.
🧵We KNOW Donald Trump is a criminal. But not enough Americans know what happened to the criminals around him. You’re not going to like the answer.
What if I told you that the New York City mob never disappeared, and it’s alive and well in the GOP? /1
Tonight, @realDonaldTrump stripped off the mask.
A promise people they will never have to vote again is a promise to end the America republic.
Trump must be defeated and his treasonous movement destroyed utterly.
No mercy for autocrats.
When the dictator speaks, listen.
When he promises revenge and retribution, listen.
When he tells you what rights he’ll steal from you, listen.
When he promises you this is the last vote you’ll ever need to cast, believe him.
Because every dictator in history speaks the same way.
Makes the same promises.
Trump is no different.
Today, May 30th 2024, a jury of citizens in the state of New York convicted a former President of 34 felony counts.
There has been a full scale political assault on Lady Justice these past few years.
She’s still standing.
I’d be willing to bet you didn’t know the FTC just released a report about why grocery prices are high and that’s 100% due to corporate greed.
I’d bet you probably hadn’t heard because mainstream media doesn’t think this is front page news.
I’d bet they don’t think it’s front page news because it goes against their “Biden is to blame for high prices” narrative.
I’d bet it goes against that narrative because most media is owned by five rich men who want to keep these prices high, and return republicans to power at any cost because it’s better for their tax bill despite the cost to the rest of us.
We ran this story on our podcast because independent media isn’t dependent on the status quo. 👊
Is anyone surprised to learn that Bobo lied about not vaping while sitting in front of a pregnant woman? Just another example of MAGA only being concerned about unborn babies when it fits their narrative. #hypocrite
In my opinion, this was one of the most complete, SAVAGE breakdowns of trump's bullshit "rigged" accusations anyone has ever done.
Hillary Clinton was right about everything.
BREAKING: @NPR drops bombshell, reveals that Elon Musk just sent them a “series” of angry emails “threatening” to revoke their Twitter handle and “reassign it to another company” if they don’t “start tweeting again.”
One ex-Twitter executive was shocked by Musk’s threat, telling NPR that such a threat “should be alarming to any business operating on the site, since it indicates that acquiescing to Musk's every whim may be necessary in order to avoid being impersonated on Twitter.”
Social media experts say that Musk’s threat “poses a serious risk of impersonation and could imperil a company's reputation” and that “if this is a sign of things to come on Twitter, we might soon see even more of a rapid retreat by media organizations and other brands that don't think it's worth the risk," said Emily Bell, a professor at Columbia Journalism School who studies social media. "It's really an extraordinary threat to make."
Last month, NPR effectively quit Twitter after Musk applied a label to the news organization's account that falsely suggested it was state-controlled. Other public media organizations, including PBS and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., followed suit and stopped tweeting following similar labeling.
In an email sent at 2:19 a.m. EST after this story was originally published on the NPR website, Musk wrote a new email to NPR without any text in the body but with this subject line: "You suck."
Please RT to expose Musk’s awful tenure as Twitter CEO, smash the ❤️ if you have NPR’S back against him, and consider joining the growing exodus to https://t.co/3VM3MqTSy0, a new Twitter alternative that I created that Musk is trying to keep everyone from finding out about. He banned Tribel’s Twitter account last week — but he has yet to ban this link to download Tribel’s new app: https://t.co/0c9FDbB14A
An overwhelming majority of white Evangelical Christians voted for Herschel Walker, a man who paid for abortions, lied, allegedly physically threatened and traumatized his wife, and fronts for Trump, a criminal vulgarian. Their religion is white supremacy, not Christianity.
The January 6th Committee has decided to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice. This means if the Committee is inevitably shut down by Republicans, the issue will be in the hands of the Justice Department -- an independent branch which Republicans cannot shut down.
