But for the NYT, Biden’s being too old for another term & Hillary’s emails were covered endlessly.

Trump’s clear dementia, complete unfitness for office, his kakistocracy, not to mention fair treatment of Palestinians in the face of Israeli genocide? Nada, zilch.

The NYT prints the news that fits.

@nytimes.com Ever notice how the NYT rarely allows comments even mildly critical of the paper or its coverage of an event or issue?

Case in point: Minimal coverage of the No Kings rallies, and de-emphasizing their attendance. Millions, not thousands. The largest rallies by far in US history.

Capitalism, as practiced in the USA, sucks. In fact, it just sucks.

“How much did you make last year?”
“$37 MILLION.”
“How much did you pay in taxes.”
“2-3 MILLION. Don’t blame me, change the tax code.”
“Go @ZohranKMamdani !”
“If he wins I’ll leave.”🤔

PSA: It’s not “social media” souring young people on capitalism. It’s greed.

It’s impossible to imagine a right-wing equivalent to large, nationwide rallies like No Kings. It’s nice to remember that we have numbers.

It's crazy that I'm #5 and the New York Times is #92.

Maybe there *is* a price to be paid for going easy on fascism.

One four star admiral (CINCSOCOM) resigned because he objected to Trump’s illegal tacks on fishing boats and ramping up to attack Venezuela. Any more? CJCS is still there.

What happens when the military is inevitably handed illegal orders?
Who’s going to stand up?
Will they have the courage?

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

MAGA Mike Johnson said it would be a "hate America rally"

Karoline Leavitt called us "Hamas terrorists" and "violent criminals"

But MILLIONS OF PATRIOTS are showing them the truth about America at #NoKings rallies all across the country

And we're just getting started

So, Trump asks Putin if he’d mind if they’d supplied the Ukrainians with a couple thousand Tomahawks.

Putin said he would mind.

Trump isn’t sending the missiles.

Need more proof that Trump is Putin’s Puppet?
