As of tonight, the Ellisons also own TikTok. So now our media is almost fully controlled by fascists.

So well said.

I’m appalled and distraught.

He and his father were 2 of my favorite follows back on Twitter. It was so sad when Karl Reiner died, but this is a whole other level.
Rob Reiner gave us a lingua franca that connected us to fellow travelers for DECADES.

He made American culture classic, memorable, accessible, poignant and unpretentious in a way few have. Devastating.

For those of us in the US this is helpful to fully understand the scale of what Russia wants to permanently steal from Ukraine. Russia is already the country with the largest land mass yet Putin believes he is entitled to more.

Yes trump wants to be evil like Putin, but don’t tell me Putin has nothing on him when this is how the two look after their 2018 Helsinki meeting.

SEN. KELLY : “They informed me of this in a tweet because this is not about the law. This is about the media cycle, and intimidation… We basically repeated the uniform code of military justice, and they're saying that's in violation of it. It's absurd. Comical.”

None of this trump and Epstein stuff is surprising and yet seeing it in print still feels jarring. it’s easy to be cynical but we absolutely don’t know what will break through until it does.

It’s almost like the people who are pushing fossil fuels and opposing renewables don’t actually care about jobs, energy costs, energy security, health, the environment, etc. They’ve made it a culture war issue, but it’s not about tree huggers vs capitalists or any of the other false dichotomies.
WWS also creates 25 mil more jobs than lost, uses less land & results in much less mining

Lower costs, better health, better climate, more jobs, less land, less mining, more energy security. No downside

You cannot separate the current nightmare we now inhabit from the collapse/crisis in how rich, powerful middle-aged men perceive masculinity, especially their own insecurities.
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

He's blaming "murder and crime" in one of the safest parts of the city because the real problem is "landlords." Almost like that's the whole gambit.

Agree that we all need to look beyond US main stream media, now more than ever. While major news outlets were already consolidated into large corporations run by billionaires, things have gone from bad to worse with right-wing activists like Larry Ellison, taking over large pieces of the info-sphere
If you're only watching the news - when every tv news outlet is owned by billionaires that are handing Trump money...Good Lord.

Follow more Dems on social media. Seek out articles from places like the UK, Canada, France.

Your inability to seek out info is not the Dems' fault.
