Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties, the pro-authoritarian billionaires who collaborate with them, & the “journalists” they hire to lie on their behalf.

Micah@rincewind.run · yesterdaythe intentional abdication by Congress of nearly all of its constitutional responsibilities is at the core of most of our problems as a nation
If only most media/SMedia consumed in the U.S. were not Right Wing, more ppl wd discover this. Sinclair covers 40% of households. Most viewers DK it's RWng, & DK it's Sinclair. Sinclair buys local ABC, NBC etc. stations & keeps broadcasting over their chyrons. Even Blue cities like Seattle have it.

I'm really struggling with the whole Mitch McConnell thing. Like, is the whole democratic party so weak that not one will book a flight to walk into the hospital or hire a PI to determine if he's dead? Do we not have investigative journalists anymore? WTH is happening, and why is no one checking?
lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

Embarrassed and furious that many Dodgers are at the White House right now. It’s a stab in the back to Los Angeles and their fanbase. Their ownership group should know better. Shame on them. Credit to Mookie and Kiké for opting out.
"There are other capable progressives weighing a run in 2028," writes @sunraysunray.bsky.social. "However, none of them can do the two things AOC can do at once: run a serious national campaign as one of the most recognized figures in the country, and pull an entire movement into being behind it."

@govandybeshear.bsky.social With heavy disappointment I agree with the assessment of this post on Governor Beshear. There is a severe lack of tough fighters in the Democratic Party. Neither the minority leader in the Senate nor the House has publicly called for Mitch to account. Humiliating.

The Pentagon is withholding causality and hit numbers. The CDC is withholding infection rates. The FDA is withholding information about food contamination. The EPA is withholding pollution and climate data. This corrupt administration is ALL about concealing the consequences of its incompetence.
A reporter could win the Pulitzer Prize if they would just stand up to Donald Trump and say, “Mr. President, you are a pedophile, a rapist, a lying traitor, and an absolute moron.”
