Largest protest in US history gets an article on page 22

If any other president posted a video of himself wearing a crown, flying a jet, and dropping shit on Americans, every, single paper would have had a front page story questioning his sanity. Trump’s enablers are the mainstream media

Can you explain what you find so awful about Mills? We need to win this seat and she has proven that she can win statewide

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

Amazing how they always very conveniently forget that there was a negotiated ceasefire in place on 10/7. Of course, what they were really calling for was a ceasefire in one direction only

Israel takes up less than 25% percent of the land under British Mandate created by the League of Nations. Why do you assume Israel must be replaced, rather than using other regions in the British (or French) Mandates? The Jordanian population, for example, is overwhelmingly Palestinian.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

The U.S. government has apparently been happy to teach repressive Arab governments more effective surveillance tactics.

The U.S. military is helping Arab dictatorships run psyops

The Pentagon spends a lot of taxpayer money on propaganda worldwide. Some of it is coordinated with Middle Eastern dictators, 'The Washington Post' revealed.

No. “My way 100% or I’ll leave it blank” gave us Trump. You seem to like idea of a dictator who you would agree with (to get 100% of what you want and to hell with anyone else). I prefer a democracy, with all its imperfections

rpkpageone.bsky.social @rpkpageone.bsky.social · 7d

Define “fine.” No one gets everything they want in a democracy. We were making incremental progress towards a more perfect union. We’ve lost that now. The only question is whether we have lost it for good. Splintering the left only helps the Trumpists

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

You know what was weird last week? I didn’t see anyone fired for quoting words actually spoken by Jane Goodall.

What do you find so upsetting? Is it the anti-Hamas flag? Or, the banner hoping for a return of the hostages? Your use of the word “Zionism” Is a two-state solution such a negative to you, and will you only be happy if Israel is wiped off the map?

What the world is seeing from the classless, obnoxious, boorish behavior of fans at the Ryder Cup is another example of what US has become under Trump, where it’s encouraged and celebrated. He’s posted about the tournament several times, but never told them to stop being idiots.

Disney owns National Geographic as well (the non-profit foundation owns a minority piece)

The Admin needs the WH Press Pool for its messaging. All journalists should stop going (they’d lose live shots with their on air personalities, but could still report facts from publicly available info). To participate after outlets are banned for asking legitimate questions is to be complicit.

Democrats need to publish a short list of popular demands to avoid a shutdown (for example: extend Obamacare tax credits; restore congressionally approved green incentives; and release Justice Departments entire Epstein file to Congress)

If Trump files amended complaint, would be better, for democracy and journalism, if the Times doesn’t seek a quick dismissal, and (truth being a defense) instead deposing Trump and ask him about every single, factual claim they have printed about him which he doesn’t like and whether it is true

Every reporter who shows up is the problem. If just once they could show an ounce of courage, we could see a way out of this mess-

They’re making new Avengers and Star Wars movies. Actors should refuse to work for them. People shouldn’t watch. Acting like things are normal is passive complicity
