Five major broadcast networks say they won't sign new Pentagon media policy

Peter Flaire @peterflaire.bsky.social · 16h

Press advocacy groups astounded by Hegseth's brazen remark, "Pentagon access is a privilege, not a right." NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and Fox News all say Hegseth threatens decades of core journalistic protections and undermines the 1st Amendment.

Trump gaslighting: "War is over."

The terms "erratic and unhinged" have been used to describe Trump behavior. The citation from House and Senate democrat leaders is now all over the internet in various forms. For example:

And guess who has now entered the war in Gaza: US troops.

With no two-state plan, and the US and Israel set to clear Gaza, now US troops will soon become casualties of this cruelty.

With US boots soon on the ground in Gaza, we're going to start seeing US military casualties despite Trump false claims about "war is over."

With no two-state plan, the US and Israel only want to clear out Gaza. There is no real ceasefire, only on paper.

Continuing a war in Gaza now with US troops soon to be deployed, which will lead to US military casualties, is only going to become a political nightmare for Trump, in addition to the US government shutdown, which will ultimately be blamed on him. He's "erratic and unhinged."

NOTHING has changed the fact that Israeli officials STILL threaten more genocide, they reject a two-state plan, and the IDF has killed more Palestinians.

President Donald Trump celebrated the first steps of his ceasefire plan as the start of a "lasting harmony" — but experts say it is too soon for his declaration of "peace in the Middle East."

Most Palestinians do not have a home to return to. It's now rubble.

Yet, Bibi thinks to further cut off food supplies, now declared by a UN investigation as a tactic for genocide, is appropriate after signing a ceasefire deal alongside fellow fascist Trump.

I am looking to join a starter pack on Bluesky.

I have near daily posts in politics, mostly about Trump and his oppressive policies in America, but also concerning world issue like genocide in Gaza. I post informative content, create my own memes, and engage with other members.

Trump's role in Gaza ceasefire was "decisive" only in terms of getting people to sign a piece of paper.
