I used to read the Washington Post, but I canceled my subscription after Bezos coddled Trump.

I used to watch This Week on ABC, but I stopped when ABC paid off Trump.

I used to watch 60 Minutes, but I stopped when CBS fired Colbert and hired Weiss.

It’s time to adjust our long-held media habits.

When Fox News lies, people die | We explain on PBS Newshour how the antiscience disinformation spread by the Murdoch media empire and especially Fox News, likely lead to hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths in the U.S. And that's just COVID-19. Their fossil fuel disinformation is as deadly.

Trump isn’t the first president to pit states against each other with hostile military action. There was also Jefferson Davis.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

Whe. People have had a stroke. They often recover much of the motor function when they are doing well. When there is a new stress on the system, line sleep deprivation or an infection. The old deficits come out again. Called, Recrudescence. Looks like this.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
