So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

That’s Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Center, nephew of William F Buckley and one of many Council For National Policy members who worked to oppose anti-apartheid efforts in the 1980s. Also, his son was one of the first rioters inside the Capitol on Jan 6. Got four years for it.

A must-read on the silent censorship taking place in the US press.

So much of this is going on in American newsrooms right now, and not just to kowtow to Trump.

Example: Consider how little is being written about the extreme radicalization of Silicon Valley.

Agree this is a must read. It's also a gut punch:

"I was the editor of Governing, a magazine & website covering state & local governments. But after facing increasing internal censorship pressures — largely to avoid critical coverage of President Donald Trump — I refused to go along, & I resigned.

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker.

And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows.

No more.

Only 7 out of 71 employees at the Los Alamos NNSA field site are working, the rest furloughed.

At the Albuquerque site (overseeing Sandia NM), only 7/81.

"The furloughs are the [NNSA's] first since its creation in 2000, as none occurred during previous shutdowns"

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Einige des Hauptstadt-Kommentariats tun jetzt so, als sei der Protest an Merz' Aussagen "übertrieben" gewesen. Wie weltfremd kann man sein. Ohne diesen Protest wäre er nie zurück gerudert. Es hat ja auch 8 Tage gedauert! WEIL protestiert wurde, inszeniert er jetzt ein "Missgeschick". Kommt schon!

Einige Konservative verteidigen Merz – es gäbe wirklich Probleme mit dem Stadtbild & einige Frauen fühlen sich bedroht.

Das ist ja nicht das Problem! Die Lüge & der Rassismus von Merz liegen darin, zu behaupten, das Problem läge bei den 0,07 % Ausreisepflichtigen im Stadtbild.

DAS wird kritisiert!
