Weird how creating conditions where powerful people never have to face real accountability leads to powerful people abusing their power. Who could have predicted that?

If you want reporters to dig into Platner's lies more, share this thread. Make it go viral so reporters can't ignore it.
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
wonder what it's like to live in a country where public money funds healthcare and education instead of never ending violence
Christian Zionists trying to Jonestown the entire world
The fuck he is.
End capitalism! We can have a future if we cast off the dictatorship of capital and build a people centric economy.
Stop asking for "an explanation" like there's going to be a good answer for why he launched an illegal war without consulting Congress
Start calling this out for what it is. Jesus, only 21% of the public backs this war, it's not remotely popular. Find a fucking spine.
I'm just going to say that the distance between us and the goulish society imagined in The Hunger Games is basically zero.
Reporters should ask the administration -- if a foreign power bombed the United States, would they expect the American people to respond by suddenly demanding the Trump administration be removed from power, or would there be a different reaction?
Especially if the bombs had hit a girls' school?
“Can you believe the Epstein guys aren’t being punished? We’re supposed to protect children,” says a person who lives in a country where children go hungry in order to pay for weapons that will kill children in other countries and to enable genocides where children are called terrorists and targeted
STOP calling the Trump administration “incompetent,” like you’re making an important point. You’re not.
These disgusting people are in-charge.
They are doing EXACTLY what they wanna do—while regular people suffer.
That is the system they have created.
Time to grow up. Your denial is dangerous.
We've moved off strongly worded and into "oh man I begged him to tell us the truth, but they haven't, so we need to have a vote over whether to give them more money."
I don’t know the context of this but I’m horrified by what it implies.
What have we become?
How can we be so callous?
Congratulations. You harassed a married staffer until she submitted to your perversions leading to her suicide and still kept your job because the Republican Party stands for nothing except the acquisition of power. Congrats, Tony. bsky.app/profile/atru...
The Trump regime claims that if we get immigrants out of subsidized housing, those units will go to help solve our housing crisis. This isn’t true, but the words are in the right order to make people who should know better take them at face value.

NoHo Diner is 24hr, haven’t been in ages though. Easy walk from the metro too.
Don’t even think about this in San Diego. Most of the sidewalks are rolled up by 8pm. Oddly, Rudfords is a standout. Super old school and proudly 24hr.
Sorry, Chief Justice Roberts explicitly said "no backsies"
People continue to claim “this is blatantly unconstitutional“ and think that just because it gets thrown out that these actions don’t matter, don’t understand fundamentally how authoritarianism works these actions work to chill any form of dissent no matter if the prosecution is successful or not
Second that.
Candy Corn, meh. Go ahead
Peeps? WTF?
Why would you put that in your mouth?
A thing I strongly believe, but that was only obvious in retrospect, was that drive-time talk radio was the most valuable propaganda platform in history and a big reason we got into this mess we're in now was because conservatives dominated it in the 1990s and 2000s
I get some of my best grumbling done while stuck in traffic. Given the amount of pent up aggression I see as I grip the wheel, seems fair to assume I’m not alone in this.
This is incidentally why we should work really hard to end car commutes. Nothing like being isolated in a 2 ton steel box to stew in grievance politics while you inch along in a maddeningly inefficient transportation system
Stop wasting energy on this. Corporate home ownership is a tiny fraction of all rentals.
Focus on things that matter, healthcare, education, and a way to actually make housing affordable.
The prettiest turd!
We need to actually DEMAND those things from the people we elect, both before and after elections.
"We can't criticize them because it suppresses the vote" is bullshit.
"I want you to do this thing and my future support is contingent upon it" is how politics works.
We really desperately need to stop thinking that if we just elect the right politicians and do nothing else, Israel will stop doing genocide, and mass incarceration will end, and systemic and institutional racism will be abolished, and we'll all have healthcare.
Meanwhile, the Police Chief, best known these days for diving into a group of teens and beating and choking a girl, is apparently continuing to serve in his dual roles at head of the police and Manager of the entire town.

"Defund the police" was plenty specific enough. It got a bad reputation because the corporate media wanted it that way. Playing along with the right's bad-faith framing is a losing game.
UNARMED CRISIS RESPONSE IS A PERMANENT PROGRAM GOING CITYWIDE BY 2028!!!
