Has it occurred to the White House Press Corp that Trump always caves (or runs away) when people stand up to his bullying? Maybe they should try all sticking up for their colleagues in real time when he attacks them. He will not get worse if they do, he will either run away or lose it on camera.
New photos being shared by Sailors serving aboard the USS I think these images are worth looking at, especially as Sailors and military families continue raising concerns about the conditions they’re experiencing. Take a look for yourself.
I'm sure that Adolf Hitler was very nice to Neville Chamberlain at Munich. FFS imagine basing the entirity of US foreign policy on this metric. It's exactly what a child would do. The this Uncle bought me more Xmas presents than that aunt school of international relations.
Ossoff: "The president, surrounded by enablers in the West Wing, is playing golf, trading stock, & decorating his ballroom. It is a disgrace. All while American families in Georgia and across the country pay more for just about everything as a direct result of his failed economic and foreign policy"
People are talking about Woke 1 and Woke 2, but how come fascism never gets talked about this way? Because we’re deep into Fascism 2 and it’s going horribly.

"This is Natalie Harp. On behalf of the family, I thank you SAHIC Latin America & The Caribbean! My daddy loved each conference and networking with each of you."
Decoding Fox News@decodingfoxnews.bsky.social · yesterdayThis is Natalie Harp, the close aide to President Trump. These clips are from 2021 when she worked at OAN. She ended her program with a daily Bible quote. Sometimes she swapped out the Bible for a quote from Trump leading with "And remember what Trump said..."
As you look at these comparisons, remember that Natalie Harp is just 9 years younger than Ivanka (35 and 44). And remember that Ivanka played this role in Trump 1.0.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin has now pumped over $100M into stopping California's billionaire tax ballot initiative. So he and his fellow oligarchs can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections?
The real reason behind the rule change?

"The new rule could make millions for Donald Trump Jr. and the online gun retailer GrabAGun" gets even worse -
These comparisons are ludicrous. Yes, the president's constant companion does look a lot like the daughter he said he wanted to date, but she's almost a decade younger and ... Wait, wait, I'll come in again.

Will Bunch@willbunch.bsky.social · 19h agoThe incredible reaction to Jon Ossoff saying just one word about our emperor's new clothes -- "Natalie" -- shows what Democrats can do if they just speak the truth about what all of us can see with our own eyes
I left Twitter in 2023, when I realized that Elon's changes had made the site useless for me. I had a half million followers, but his new algorithm drove my engagement numbers down to nothing. I wasn't actually reaching anyone. I was just providing cover for Nazis. So I left. You can too. Honest!
ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com · 21h ago"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."
