Scott Jennings lack of self awareness and lack of understanding of these moments in history just feels like daily last ditch tossing in the kitchen sink efforts to cling to society that benefited the few…. aka… him. Someday. Pundits will again broker in reality.

Sarah Kendzior long ago nailed the reality of the orange jello administration’s existence as a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government.

The threats were made last month, as the U.S. maneuvered to block a new effort to tax pollution at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization in London.

National delegates were threatened with personal consequences if they went against Washington.

Trump mafia style diplomacy.

“Our negotiators had never seen this before in any international talks,” said one European official, who had spoken to negotiators. “People being summoned to the U.S. Embassy in London — intimidation, threats of cessation of business, threats of family members losing visas.”

Another European Commission official added that diplomats returned home rattled after the meetings: “We had feedback from a number of people involved in the negotiations about the pressure they faced.”

As a reader, not a writer, and many thousands moons beyond a teen. The demand remains for the content as one of the few firing on this level. In both the target audience and the rest of us impressed with the work. There has to be some thinking to find/create a landing pad?

SiestaMD @sunflowerroot1.bsky.social · 20h

Old ass mom/grandmom here, this is a damning loss. For readers and for writers. Nothing shy of impressed by their content and have felt for years was a terrific submission target for women with a voice. Seriously, this team and leadership needs an reader organized plan B optional landing. Ideas?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

They refuse to get vaccinated and they refuse to help stop the outbreak they may have started—an outbreak of measles that could kill someone.

“The patient has declined to be tested, or to fully participate in our…investigation, so we will not be able properly do contact tracing to warn anyone…”

Flynn isn’t talking “reform.” He’s calling for shutting down independent federal law enforcement and replacing it with a loyalty force — textbook authoritarian power consolidation.

This. So many other women do not have the resources during a time of crisis if needed in a marriage they may have given up their earning power for a role of spouse. She is fortunate if need be. But let the games begin with MAGA media reframing the good wife standing by her man under attack.

The rest of the world won’t want that risk. These are baby steps that will leave Americans trapped within their their own borders without travel. With ever growing numbers without food, healthcare, jobs, or freedoms. Add escalating domestic facing military forces and detention camps.Time to see it.

The freewheeling distortion of truth is such a damning outcome of the long at work successful takeover of any remaining semblance of a free mainstream press, impotence of Congress, and invasion of the court. Post truth. We are here. Across the board.

SiestaMD @sunflowerroot1.bsky.social · 4d

All the the gaslighting, dishonest, disingenuous bullshit is so damn handicapping. As if you don’t live in reality. Real problems don’t find real solutions. Let real alone targets that can’t be agreed upon. Any area of weakness gets abused for misdirection. Abusers. Sociopaths, the lot of them.

I’ll never understand a rep like Scalise, who as a shooting victim the country prayed for. Not a partisan behavior, a human behavior. He was blessed by the best healthcare, recovery, rehab, and now follow up, plus lifetime guarantee of care and retirement. To not take away a gain of perspective.

Are the same people to revere Trump for making a killing (and loosing a killing with bankruptcy protections) skirting norms and using “legal means” allowed to use abusing tax and lawsuit threats. Corporate Welfare and tax loopholes for the rich, plus blaming the “other” who don’t “work as hard” aka$

True people need snap benefits, but if the snap blackmail has you cave. Monday comes. People still can’t cover their health insurance. Still don’t have a living wage. The SNAP money is there. Get some leadership going. Get the messaging going. Get the answers going. Solidify your own voters.
