The Vice President of the United States will not unequivocally condemn Young Republicans for saying that their perceived political opponents should be sent to gas chambers.

If there is to be an ethical, moral media to protect citizens from malfeasance, it is going to be a new system of communicators who have no ties to legacy media. We have been shoddily treated by media for decades. We can simply say, "No." "We want the truth. Not spin." "There is no 'both sides'."

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 13h

The Trump regime is built on a metastasis of the imaginary and suffocation of the symbolic—all supplemented by an unleashing of the real of violence that thrills and ‘persuades’ the many admirers of fascism. They have used media to destroy the very possibility of meaning it is meant to transmit.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 13h

It would be useful if media imposed a blackout on the fascist Trump regime, which thrives on flooding informational worlds with constant nonsense and absurdity to drown out all else. Stop interviewing them. Stop airing clips of them. Just report nonstop on the destructive effects of what they do.

Imagine voting MJ out of office. How sweet that would be. Perhaps the government elected would actually work for their pay.

I’m Conrad Cable, a first-generation farmer from Farmerville, and I’m running for Congress to take on Speaker Mike Johnson in 2026. This campaign isn’t fueled by corporate dollars — it’s powered by everyday people who are tired of being left behind.

I was thinking of another tactical advantage of oversized costumes - is it possible to wear self protective helmets, gloves, elbow and knee pads, respirators or even kevlar vests underneath? I know that affect agility, but would it give an advantage?

Media and legacy media are no longer useful. What is needed is a rigorous record keeping and data sharing to ensure everyone knows which crimes are being committed and where. You are in a deluge. There is no single act that is worth highlighting. Highlight the deluge and get the lawsuits rolling.

SoMuchPanicVeryLittleDisco⚾❤️🔱 @justanothergourd.bsky.social · 22h

Are we normalizing this administration's bad behavior, or is there just so much of it that in an effort to at least mention lots of it, none of it gets more than a fleeting media moment? 🤔

Jenny Arntzen, PhD, PMP 🇨🇦 ✋💙🌊🇺🇦🍁 @jennyarntzen.bsky.social · 22h

I'm wondering if it would be possible to start the lawsuits now - dates, times, events, interactions, abuses of power, assault, kidnapping, etc. and start the log book so that, when this is over, there is a comprehensive record to refer to for litigation. Also, each day, launch a lawsuit for crimes.

This comment needs to be shared far and wide. Schismogenesis - when their construction of identity is based on an imagined specific enemy and you confound that construction by wearing a frog costume or playing the bagpipes on a unicycle - they are left in a state of cognitive dissonance - confused.

The ICE fascists have come to their self-identities in schismogenesis with the phantom of Antifa. They created identity by differentiating themselves from an imagined but specific enemy. Without that enemy to legitimate their posturing, they realize they look like fools and thugs.

Trump is online positively wailing about this picture, because he is weak and vain and cares exponentially more about himself than anything else. That said, if there is something Trump does not want America to see, that means it is probably something every American needs to see. Please share widely.

I was thinking how fanciful costumes provide strategic protection. They cause the abuser to have to process another layer of meaning - you are not so identifiable as a person they recognize. It causes a cognitive disruption as they process their perception and figure out what to do.

Our votes gave us a leader we can be proud of. No leader is perfect. If we hadn't voted we could have had the same kinds of policies coming from the Conservative party that are destroying the US. We don't want to, we cannot turn back the clocks to high colonialism, patriarchy, and capitalism.

Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com · 2d

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

The Republicans are trying to impose a society that existed before the civil rights era. That is how arrested their own development is. Some of them want to go back to slave economy. I draw strength knowing what Black Americans have accomplished despite egregious systemic violence. Deep respect.

When I see pictures of Republicans praying I know that there is something bad coming. They pray for the conviction to carry out morally and ethically depraved acts. Their god is driving them all crazy. Their god is out to destroy the country.

We are living in the outcome to the question, "How low will they go?" There is no bottom. Their depravity will destroy what is left of systems that were already in a state of deterioration. When you renovate an old house, you have to remove the rot. Start building when you have viable structure.

In the Republican world, their god tells them to shoot defenceless priests. Their god tells them to zip-tie children out of their beds. Their god tells them its ok to force their sexual attention on children. The Republican god is a nasty character.

Foggy sunrise. Dark landscape, with a blurry tree-line with lifting fog, creamy yellow light with tree silhouettes, dark band of clouds, the sun partially exposed above, cream yellow sky and clouds above.
