New pod: @pkrugman.bsky.social is highly illuminating on how Trump will corrupt govt information into propaganda. "If I were a federal employee at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, I would be extremely frightened...they’re going to be in the line of fire." Listen...

Milking the government = taking energy subsidies that were created to further liberal "clean energy" agendas.

Bomb a working nuclear facility.

What could go wrong?

I don't know what it will take for folks to understand this, but it is likely fucking lawlessness and disaster. and mass suffering.

I'm no fan of CNN generally, but the precipitous decline of the American media should concern everyone (other than wannabe autocrats, of course)

Disturbing prediction from @pkrugman.bsky.social: If Trump's deportations really happen, inflation will spike, then MAGA loyalists will corrupt government info to mask it. For autocrats, he says, "among their first targets are statistical agencies." Our exchange...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@aoc.bsky.social)

In comparison, a similar bill was brought up before the House earlier this year. There was much less organizing against it and it got further then. Today’s vote was a very different story. The attention + organizing played a role. If you can thank your rep for voting NO, please do so. It matters.

Lol they’re throwing their support behind a guy who admitted liability in (at the time) the biggest medical fraud in history. And who is now calling the investigation leading to the charge a political witch-hunt notwithstanding that it was a decade before he entered politics.

Gas lighting to the enth degree and unsurprisingly the trumpets are throwing their support behind a criminal and awful person.

Ryan J. Reilly (Sedition Hunters the book out now!) (@ryanjreilly.bsky.social)

There’s a norm against prosecuting sitting presidents. There’s no norm about holding off on criminal charges against a future president’s co-conspirators just because he’s probably going to pardon them...
