Mainstream media have had a subtle RWng bias & party status hierarchy for generations--treating GOP as the high status emperor party, Dems as the chambermaid party--catering to emperor, praising his new clothes/MOUs--& belittling the chambermaid party for even tiny or imaginary flaws.

Why Mainstream Media is So Right Wing Biased and How to Chang

Reminder: Being woke means caring and being a decent human being. The term was demonized by people capable of neither. Being woke is a good thing. Media outlets are under no obligation to use MAGA definitions.

olgalautman.substack.com/p/why-is-rus... Because Trump faced no consequences for his 2016 dalliances with Russia, the GOP now treats Moscow as just another branch of Washington DC. Is anyone doing anything to stop this?

"It’s more than a little craven to rub elbows w/Stephen Miller at nerd prom, even as he paints a target on backs of journalists. But that pales in comparison to the clanging impropriety of yucking it up w/a man who uses reporters as a human shield, then threatens to lock them up for reporting on it"

Trump uses reporters as human shield, gets feted as guest of honor

Steepest of learning curves.

Degenerates like Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, and RFK Jr. should not be effectively immune (civilly, politically) for defaming civil servants—or any civilians—for propaganda or fundraising purposes. What they're doing to Anthony Fauci right now is horrifying. As things stand, they'll get away with it.

Republicans Should Suffer For Their Smears

There should be consequences, from civil liability to expulsion from Congress, for lying about citizens for propaganda or fundraising purposes.

This incredible falsehood deserves a defamation suit. What a truly unhinged lie, trying to terrify people away from a safe, beneficial, and widely-used medical product.

WHAT -- Rep. Lisa McClain totally makes shit up, claims "82% of women who got the vaccine in their first or second trimester had a miscarriage"

"This sort of pure conspiracy-brain gibberish has been big on the right for years. Once upon a time, however, one could console oneself that it was just the domain of the lunatic fringe." Not anymore.👇

Still enraged by this 24 hours later. Sens. Ron Johnson, Rand Paul, and Mike Lee accused Anthony Fauci of lying about whether COVID vaccines were safe for pregnant women. Paul retweeted a right-winger calling it an "ABORTION shot" and "MURDER." But the facts show the *opposite* of what they claim:

Florida’s leading pediatric medical association came out strongly against Trump’s executive order calling for changes to the childhood vaccination schedule. “We don’t answer to this nonsense; we don’t recommend changing it. We go by evidence-based science, we don’t go by politics and politicians.”

Did "The woke" have masked thugs in bulletproof vests tear-gas toddlers, take preschoolers to concentration camps and use them as bait, and shoot people in the head point-blank? Asking for a friend God, I hate the intellectual enablers of this regime even more than the SA-like thugs themselves

Also, again. Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper. No. Not. Even. On. The. Op-Ed. Pages. This is not what happened in the last decade of American politics, no matter how many times Ezra Douthglesias repeat it.

Jesus fucking Christ covid vax REDUCED miscarriages and stillbirths. Also I'm one of the people who studied menstrual side fx of the covid vax to make sure we didn't invalidate peoples' real experiences, and to better set expectations for side fx. Ultimately the project made me even MORE provax!

Fox News, with an assist from NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya, is trying to blame Fauci and covid vaccines for miscarriages

The @nytimes hasn't written a single article asking if "voters will think Tom Tiffany is too radical" because he is an election-denying, pro-ICE, authoritarian extremist. Somehow, his position on the political spectrum has disappeared completely from the National and State Conversations™️

I wrote about Ross Douthat's last column and why conservative white supremacists like Ross always claim that fascists have no agency. It's because they know the fascists are working for them but they want to pretend they don't know that. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/ross-douth...

The thing about crypto is that its a really easy way for crooks to bribe the President. They no longer have to book lots of pesky hotel rooms to get his attention.

Trump's crypto firm took $100 million from a failed hardwood flooring retailer who has been investigated for money laundering, a windfall for the president from a foreigner with no public signs of access to that level of wealth, @russbuettner.bsky.social reports. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/09/u...

He is the designated fraud czar for an administration that has pardoned dozens of convicted fraudsters since returning to office, working for a man found liable for fraudulent asset valuations whose foundation was dissolved over misuse of charitable funds.

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

Even in my small law firm, all interns are paid. This was my wife’s idea-and she was right. So instead of using free labor and pocketing the money, we pay everyone at least minimum wage. Because each person has worth Never devalue yourself. Don’t work for employers who want to take advantage of you

Guys if you are sharing a NY Post headline deliberately mischaracterizing an out of context Hillary Clinton quote from a podcast to make it sound like she's attacking the left, *she* is not the one who is hurting her own side

It's insane that legacy media isn't beating down Patel's door demanding to know why he's flying to Moscow when the Kremlin is giving Iran coordinates to bomb in the ME. It's the first question the WH press secretary should be asked every day.

Olga Lautman 🇺🇦@olgalautman.bsky.social · 4d ago

So this is very disturbing. A Russian outlet known for publishing info for Russia’s security services (FSB) wrote an article speculating Patel’s upcoming visit to Moscow. Everything from providing kompromat on Dems to him serving as a back channel. They even discussed what they could get in return.
