No surprise the outrageous fantasies are flying in the right-wing propaganda bubble. "No Kings is organized by Antifa / funded by George Soros / violent protesters..."

Between her personal and DOJ accounts, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon tweets over 100 times a day — a behavior that can safely be categorized as chronically online. But could her social media presence be killing her cases? https://bit.ly/4okeA47

It's a race to the bottom to decide who in the Trump administration can spew the most crazy, fabulous fiction aka "lies."

queltiquegodess.bsky.social @queltiquegodess.bsky.social · 1d

It seems a constant with the right wing news/propaganda sources to show videos or photos of supposed protesters burning the 🇺🇸 American flag. No source, no location, no date, zero identifying information to confirm it happening in L.A, Portland, Chicago - it's an insult to our intelligence.

I think that's a fair assessment. Press reported that in Norway they were preparing for retaliatory tariffs for when Trump learned he didn't get the Peace Prize.
