Such a good point here from @davekarpf.bsky.social: If Dems don't engage forcefully enough on Trump's terror raids, Trump/MAGA propaganda filters down to the "inattentive public" and risks persuading people this is normal and acceptable.

Diversity doesn’t weaken unions. Racist bosses like Vance using racism to divide workers by race so they can exploit them weakens unions. All this stuff is arsonists complaining about the temperature in the building they set on fire. bsky.app/profile/diew...
JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.
An “Is this really legitimate or is it AI?” moment

Of course, AI can be “legitimate” too! But there needs to be some clear disclosure on major digital platforms

“Facts” in the Trump 2.0 era: Trump said it and I believe it!

Even in the Trumpist-“postmodern” world, reality actually does matter. And facts have a stubborn way of asserting themselves.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

🔴 Drei extrem rechte Parteien werden künftig in Tschechien die Regierung bilden. Sozialdemokratie und KP hatten die Themen der extremen Rechten übernommen, vor allem den Rassismus. Nun sind sie sogar aus dem Parlament geflogen - und die Rechten sind an der Macht. Das muss eine Lehre sein.

One week after Trump pardoned Binance’s owner (for a stunning array of crimes related to terrorist and sex predator financing), Binance starts promoting Trump crypto.

The White House is a full time, 24/7 corruption machine.
