Mostly Bsky now. Anonymity liberating. Inspired by Cow🐮 but w/o lawsuits. Pvt car, not govt or public transport. Drives left. Here to resist from time to time.
If by American family, you mean a guy who was divorced by his first wife when he admitted to having multiple affairs, divorced by his second wife because he was having an affair, resulting in a child, with the Fox colleague who is now his third wife.
It’s D-Day. Trump’s first post on Truth Social is a bizarre AI video about how much people love Donald Trump. Not a word about the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy.
That tells you everything you need to know about Trump.
Seems like a bait and switch. After predictable outcry, Trump DOJ pulls back slush fund for insurrectionists, but retains tax immunity for Trump. Was that the plan all along? It’s all corrupt.

@Acyn Lol.
Trump burns taxpayer money to fly AF1 to FL or NJ most weekends instead of playing locally.
He’s so fragile and a bag of hot piss.
When will the #EpsteinFiles be relased and the Straight opened?
He's at an event for farmers who are affected by his policies and he's out here telling them that the reflecting pool is 'bigger' than skyscrapers.....
LET’S KEEP IT REAL
According to Trump, Black jobs are in factories. And we already know if a Black person is a doctor, lawyer, engineer, executive, professor, pilot, or CEO, he calls it DEI.
Yesterday, Trump was asked why Black unemployment is still 7.3%, far above the national average of 4.3%.
His answer? Don’t worry, Black workers will do well when more factories and car plants open.
Apparently, in Trump’s America, our future is on the assembly line.
Trump: "The military conflict — I call it that because it's really not much of a war."
Trump 39 minutes later: "I have to get back to fighting a war in Iran."
So all of you guys who were in my comments last month talking about how food assistance should not include candy and soda but actual healthy foods, I suppose you’re going to call your members of Congress and the White House about this?
President Trump just repeated his lie that China only builds windmills to export them to "stupid people from the United States, the suckers."
Reality: China has installed by far the most wind turbines of any country and is installing more of them far faster than any other country.
Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things.
Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do.
She fired him.
JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job.
The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting.
The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.
