2 dynamics at play here: U.S. media largely animated by gop grievance and would burn any Dem at the stake for the same infractions - and - maga dolts scream "hey 👋🏻 guys! we're corrupt!" and then provide truckloads of supporting evidence as to why via @drsandman11.medsky.social

Dr. Josh Rubin's Skeet talking about the media double standard with Dems and if any one of them had opened 350 accounts that had to be forcibly closed due to mob activity. NYT's Peter Baker would firebomb Chili's in Alexandria out of spite.

300+ accounts is quite a lot even for that lot. furthermore, if account closures by "woke" Capital One were so offensive why did it take Gums 4 years to sue in federal court? oh right, by 2025 TCF is operating under the false belief they run the world and F everyone else.

Important read. I’m pretty confident that the vast majority of humans do NOT choose to burn up & starve on an unlovable fiery planet. Why are we letting these profit-obsessed death cult freaks decide the future for all of us?

George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 9h ago

My column on how capital becomes a death cult. Faced with a choice between profit and human life, the radical right chooses profit. Then it tries to persuade us that mass death is what we want. It's the new phase of climate denial: accept your fate, earthlings. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

very important ruling, particularly bc ICE goons are given fairly wide latitude to use deception nabbing crims immigration is not a crime and this fella is basically a choir boy. unlike, say, Max Miller or Bernie Moreno 🎩 @whodat35.bsky.social

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

getting "blindsided" is, just to name a random example, when a Tinder asshole butters you up for weeks with niceties/compliments then ends up ghosting. Queens Mobster has no legal right to be "kept in the loop" about the bullshit prosecutions he demands hope this helps.

Matt Cameron@mattcameron.bsky.social · 2d ago

hey @cnn.com there has got to be a way to report these stories about Trump being mad about charging decisions of individual US attorneys without normalizing the idea that the president personally supervises charging decisions of individual US attorneys, I know we can do this

CNN: The other source, a senior administration official, said Trump was “blindsided” by the court filing from Pirro, a longtime ally. “The president did not know beforehand that she was going to do that.”

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d ago

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
