I will never forgive the media for misleading Americans about inflation.

Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.

Ha. Same here. The other explanation is so implausible, I didn’t even think of it. WTF? The media is going to just accept it, aren’t they.

So their arguing that.....someone must have broken into their offices, went to a lowly staffers cubicle, and surreptitiously snuck a swastika-flag on his wall?

This is the type of nonstop dumbfuckery that is radicalizing.....

Trump will arrest half the players and turn those cities into war zones, but FIFA likes brutal, inhumane dictatorships, so there is no chance they’ll move the World Cup elsewhere, no matter how bad it gets.

It wasn’t about rising prices. It was about getting bigots to tell themselves they were voting to lower prices instead their true reason.

He says fucked up things all the time himself, so it wouldn’t really do much. I’d intelligently discuss the importance of anti racism, express support for trans kids and vow to fight Nazis in all their forms.

That is the only way these guys would lose their jobs.

Day 9. Good articles, including this one preempting the lies the right are going to spread about #nokings. It’s been a strong week, @npr.org - keep it up. 6 for 19.

The question is, like with Charlie Kirk’s death, is the media going to take the cue from the far right and gaslight America?

Current Supreme Court Situation:
- The Constitution says it is legal to use race to discriminate.
- The Constitution says it is illegal to use race to prevent discrimination.
- Racism does not exist.

White people better show up for #nokings… otherwise, us minorities are going to get carpet bombed by the military.

They stopped long enough for the media to praise Trump then go back to their genocide.

Yup. I wish we had a functional opposition that had a plan for when they predictably cheat in the election, send the Gestapo to arrest black people voting & just plain refuse to accept the election results and give the seat to themselves.

I guess @democrats.org will have strong tweets ready.

mxhrad @mxhrad.bsky.social · 10h

They’ll do it. They’ll bring poll taxes and tests that only black people have to take next.

Hey @democrats.org - if you want my vote you must clearly say that you will prosecute every member of the federal government who has broken any law, no matter how small.

mxhrad @mxhrad.bsky.social · 10h

or any that promises to prosecute anyone who bribed Trump.

mxhrad @mxhrad.bsky.social · 10h

This is illegal. Just another impeachable act. All the ”donors” should be charged with bribery, also.

“In a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court rules that gerrymandering out black votes is constitutional, but having a district that isn’t white majority is unconstitutional. The originalist justices cite 3/5ths rule to overturn section 2 of the voting rights act.”

A Supreme Court ruling on voting rights could boost Republicans' redistricting efforts

A Supreme Court case over Louisiana's congressional map could determine the future of Voting Rights Act protections against racial discrimination and allow Republicans to draw 19 more House seats.

Sorry @npr.org. There is no dilemma. You either want a for-profit racist concentration camp in your town or you don’t. Nothing else matters.

NYT should’ve said he only wants white supremacists immigrating, so I wouldn’t praise them.

The media has a decision to make - let the fascist admin dictate which story to cover on #nokings day or actually show how tens of millions of Americans feel.

Hint - if you’re mostly interviewing Republicans, you’re doing it wrong.

I’m not hopeful they’ll do the right thing. Maybe @npr.org

“We’re charging American citizens with terrorism because all their signs are similar.”

Pam Bondi: "ANTIFA is a very organized criminal organization. You're seeing people out there with thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. We're gonna get to the root of ANTIFA, and we're gonna find and charge all of those people."

Come get me, Pammy Jo.

Consider:

1) News orgs (even Fox) not signing the pledge
2) MIT, now Brown
3) Chi police standing between ICE and citizens)
4) Dems holding firm
5) The Fed courts
6) The quiet rehiring of lots of fed workers
7) Multi-state pacts to combat MAGA health disinfo
