I’m an 80 year old who is appalled at what is going on in our country. I will speak out until I am too old to see the letters on my phone or too addle-brained whichever comes first. Singer,writer, teacher, traveler. NO DM’s!

The good news is that if the pneumonic plague does spread and become serious problem we have RFK Jr and Dr. Oz in charge of public health to find us some miracle cures from Trump donors for $99.99 because Trump only appoints the finest people to critically important jobs.

Shame desperately needs to become part of the political lexicon in the USA so badly
The right wing is utterly shameless at this point

When power attacks judges for judging, journalists for reporting, inspectors for inspecting and watchdogs for watching, I’m going to take a wild guess that the problem isn’t everybody suddenly becoming terrible at their jobs.🤨

"We should financially support truth-telling news outlets and boycott those that spread lies."
Mark's advice is no less applicable to Australia, where Murdoch controls the majority of legacy media.
And even our public broadcaster is morphing into NewsCorp-lite. #auspol

There's a takeover of the American news industry going on, pushed by Elon Musk, the Ellisons, the Saudis and others. Democracy is impossible if the truth is buried under right-wing propaganda, so we've got to push back against this "media capture."

The Ken Paxton Corruption Hotline is now receiving thousands of voicemails. Listen to what they’re saying:
“Ken Paxton is corrupt.”
“I’m voting for James Talarico!”
Texans are tired of corruption — and ready for something new.

Or are gas prices high?

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

At a time in history when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, democracy, and decency, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction — fawning over the most dangerous authoritarian America has ever witnessed.
