I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.

When the day comes that the Dictator in the WH is no longer on this earth, I will forever remember those who supported him, and/or failed to loudly oppose him. Accountability is a prerequisite to our societal healing and evolution.

I have my issues with the original poster. But that aside, this is a really important message. If you voted for Jill Stein, or Cornell West, or didn’t vote at all, you own ALL of this! Everything happening has NOTHING to do with Harris voters. Period.

Meet Candon Dahle, Why isn't he not in jail for life? Bingham County Idaho THIS CHILD RAPIST was sentence to 180 days in jail for raping a 7 year old girl for 5 years, part of the plea deal was that he would not have to register as a sex offender. WOW: (white privilege )

She did more pushback here than in her interview with a Russian War criminal last week. FFS some of these jounalists and news people are just pitiful and we should all stop watching entirely. This has become more about spectacle and showmanship than actual real journalism..

Every freaking day something disgusting comes out. Every day. All we do is point it out, complain about it in podcasts and social media posts and then wait until tomorrow. Rinse and repeat until we’re in full on fascism. We need to build a massive movement against cosplaying journalism. Now.

A federal judge has ordered Florida to shut down "Alligator Alcatraz," after the state spent a staggering $218M to build the now-vacant detention camp. Closing it will run taxpayers another $20M. An utterly cruel and costly waste.

The argument against regulation is always the same: “It stifles growth and jobs.” But just as tax cuts for corporations have not trickled down, regulatory cuts have not benefited most people. Big companies enjoy bigger profits. Working people bear the costs.
