Why won’t corporate media use the term “MAGA Terrorism”?! In past week alone we saw two MAGA terrorists attack Democratic members of Congress. But when it's a white MAGA attacker, corporate media refuses to use term MAGA Terrorist. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/why-wont-c...

If the man who attacked Rep Omar or Maxwell Frost had been Muslim and had supported ISIS, there would be no doubt that he would’ve been labeled as a terrorist. But when the person is a white MAGA supporter the media won’t call him a terrorist. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/why-wont-c...

How many times are news organizations going to fall for the utter claptrap of Donald Trump, his administration or the Republican Party at large changing tone? Collectively, they have one tone: rage. It’s their oxygen.

As per usual... we now have a strong Democrat candidate for US Senate in Florida, and the dissing of all Floridians from across this country continues unabated. "Blah blah, it's hopeless for Dems in Florida, Floridians are stupid, blah blah"... that's NOT how to WIN an election, people.
Hello. Floridian here.🙂 43% of Floridians voted for Harris in 2024, and Harris WON the vote in Miami. Just like most folks, we don't really take well to being called "stupid," thanks. And this seems a strange way to try to win people over to the Democrats, calling them "stupid"

Intentional medical neglect has long been a cornerstone of ICE detainment. Many of the 81 people (below) who died while in ICE custody, died because they did not receive medical care for illnesses or chronic conditions. That it continues is, yes, violations of US and international law.

Maybe someone can tell me what purpose it serves for Dem voters in other states to proclaim here right off the bat that Floridians are "too stupid" to vote for him. Is this like a strategy to engage more Dem voters?🧐
