The New Yorkers I know - or knew in 2016 - all told me back then that Trump was a 3-card monte con man, a spoiled racist nepo baby with ties to organized crime and the ethics of Roy Cohn. Thanks to "reality" TV, the corporate media transformed him into a successful businessman.

Truth 👇

If I have to choose between listening to Anne Appelbaum, who has extensive, detailed information about how democracies can fight back against fascists, or Iglesias, who's just another DC Blob status quo pundit, I know who I'll choose.

In the 1960s public schools had special classrooms for the “educable mentally handicapped.” Most of those kids had lead poisoning. Lead paint was banned in U.S. in 1978. Leaded gasoline was banned in 1996. Kids’ blood levels dropped by 95%. Bans work. We should ban shit again.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Things improving: when I arrived in eastern LA county, I was told there were mountains nearby. I didn't see anything. Suddenly, a month later I could see the peaks. The mountains are 10,000 feet tall and 8 miles away. That's about a 13 degree angle That's how bad the smog used to be.

The New York Times just put out this credulous bullshit that claims Iran is getting ready to attack, citing Trump officials. This is clearly a way for Trump to justify more heavy bombing. It’s so fucking irresponsible to position it like this.

Are these New York Times people ever seen in public? How do they defend pushing a story from people who have been lying to them for years and have repeatedly been conned by those lies? Like, the primary characteristic of this whole administration is that nothing it says is true.

I'll give 100:1 odds that Israel is doing the same spying against USA media - and probably government officials as well. Will US corporate media (social, print and broadcast) cover this? This is as likely as Trump telling the truth.

stranger@strangerous.bsky.social

Just think of the media explosion if this was Iran, Russia, China, or any country other than Israel.

I guarantee that at most 3 of the supposed 20,000 ineligible voters will be convicted of anything. This is nothing but racist intimidation.

Mother Jones@motherjones.com

Months of fears around the use of armed immigration enforcement to affect national elections appear to be coming to fruition. Federal authorities announced the arrest in California of at least 11 people and charges against 28, alleging they registered to vote as noncitizens.

It's not just they deserve it, we F'ING PROMISED IT! They put their lives on the line - they completed THEIR side of the bargain. Any politician who stands in the way of taking care of our service members and veterans needs to be voted out. Start with Kegsbreath.

A Voice Crying in the Wilderness@cryingwilderness.bsky.social

THIS IS NOT LAW ENFORCEMENT. Ask any police officer or sheriff's deputy. Starting with violence before even trying to identify an individual is thuggery. We need actual police on the border, not gangs of mask Seal Team 6 cosplayers.

Another U.S. citizen was assaulted and injured by ICE. This time in Long Beach, California. Congress must refuse to fund this lawlessness and hold Trump’s rogue militia accountable.

Come on, MAGAs, you KNOW this is true. Do you really hate us Americans so much that you think this is OK? Even if you hate us, I believe you love our country, too.

Al@animalzoo.bsky.social

We gave him this power voluntarily and without a shot. Well… maybe just a little shot in the ear.

My take's similar: he despises the guy, and he bitched about him with some Jewish buddies, so he's going MAGA: "can't trust them polls, they're all a hoax."

G Elliott Morris@gelliottmorris.com

here's my take: he's extrapolating from interviews he did with people, and that is not an empirical basis for predicting potential polling error. i am additionally a little skeptical of this narrative, which is basically just another way to punch left to demonstrate media neutrality (derogatory)

Wait, Jefferson Davis was married to a Black woman? And she’s giving that, “you better sleep with one eye open, mofo” look. 📕 Davis owned 113 enslaved people by 1860, became president of the Confederacy, fought to preserve slavery.

I'd also notice that 1873 is Modern France. It's not that old.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Yes, who can forget the violent Reign of Terror (September 5, 1793 – July 27, 1794) in France, which was famously conducted by unassimilated people from third-world countries? [Checks actual history.] Oh, wait. They were French. Yale owes the world an apology for this idiot.

Since 1. every GOP accusation is a confession, 2. we know Donny enjoys inflicting pain on women and children, 3. Donny often fantasizes out loud about his desires and crimes, ... should we be looking for hidden graves on all Donny's properties?

This week, we opened 385 new affordable homes in Brooklyn. We’ll soon grow the Innovative Urban Village to 2,000 affordable homes, child care, jobs, a grocery store and a performing arts center. That’s what it looks like to build a city without pricing out the working class.

He ignores Sudan fueled by UAE & Saudis, Somalia with Somaliland with Israel and others involved, Lebanon and Syria invaded by the IDF with total depopulation in a large area. I guess we only care about chaos caused by non-allies...

“THIS COULD EXPLODE.” Retired Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling issues an alarming warning about the expanding conflict involving Yemen, Saudi Arabia, and the Red Sea. “This could explode into a regional dynamic that will quickly spiral out of control.”

It seems Putin is laying down his kompromat cards on Trump before Trump loses the ability to ignore all laws with zero consequences. Whether that's what Elmo is doing also, I'm not sure.

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

At 16, Corion Evans jumped into the Pascagoula River after a car carrying three teenage girls plunged into the water. He rescued all three, then swam back out to save a police officer who was also struggling. In one night, he helped save four lives.

No? But did you enjoy seeing women thrown on the ground face down? Children crying as masked men kidnap their parents? ICE shooting random people point blank? People pleading "I have proof of citizenship in my pocket, please look at it!" and ICE responding "we DGAF!" Is THIS what you voted for?

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵
