"Violence is as American as cherry pie"
H Rap Brown
Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

I don't get this framing. We've been told by people in the know on this platform that Trump has been a Kremlin asset for decades. Presumably Russia already knows how to manipulate him and get into his good graces.

NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."

BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.

New piece:

Trump’s Fury at BBC Gets Unnerving Results with Pro-MAGA Edit Stunner
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

Jesus Bsky, could you just viralize this? Or do you all think Ukraine should do what Trump tells it to do?

It's Sunday. Do you need more "analysis" abt Tuesday's MAGA whupping? He's nuts, end of story. Maybe U r addicted to the crisis. Unhealthy!! As the US slides deeper into cold civil war, take a break & listen to a briefing from Northern Ireland on its' post-conflict progress.

In America right now, wish I could say the country is up in arms over this ... it is not.
This is what happened to my Grandfather in Frankfurt, Germany on 9th November 1938, commonly known as Kristallnacht.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.
