The assignment and the rationale for it…

Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social · 1d

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Since Trump hates this picture, you should not share it by hitting the repost button. Again…don’t share it!!! By the way, what’s going on with that neck? It looks like…is it ok to say it?

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

Is this a sign that the Roll-Over-For-Trump fever is breaking and that American institutions have reached their Bridge Too Far moment? It’s late in Trump’s fascistic takeover of America game, but I’ll take it.

If Trump would lie about something as patently obvious as this…

Who does he think that he is fooling?

I know that I am am stating the obvious, but here goes:

Folks in the military, family of such folks, friends of such folks, neighbors of such folks, and even folks who just know such folks, please remember this next November when you have an opportunity to show your displeasure at this betrayal.

My comment when I saw this earlier.

“Trump is now the Judge/Jury/Executioner.

A special place in Hell is reserved for deranged folks who do these things.”

Wendall @surfesq.bsky.social · 21h

Poor Dr. Phil, who had a good thing going before The Age of Trump. By backing the wrong horse, his whole world got turned upside down. Oh well. Let that be a lesson for folks who want to go full MAGA.

I do recall that. The man has a black heart.

I am sorry, but I momentarily am going to put on my cruel cap.

Mr. Farmer Man, cry me a freakin’ river. Post-election polling analyses indicate that you likely voted for Trump. Vote better next time…please. Democracy lovers in America need you to do much much better at the polls next time.

The Pentagon’s new press policy bars journalists from reporting anything that hasn’t been approved by the Trump regime.

The NYT, Washington Post, Atlantic, and NPR are refusing to sign the agreement.

Kudos to the media outlets standing up to this blatant authoritarianism.

Does this signal that the American media — finally — has said “We no longer are going to be complicit in Trump’s fascistic crap?” One can only hope.

Very rarely do we have the pleasure of hearing Jack Smith speak outside of the courtroom. I commend this gem to you.

The US President is bragging about murdering people in international waters, with zero due process, zero legal authoriy.

You cannot be okay with this.
