He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

The will of mainstream media to normalize Donald Trumps blatant racist remarks and bizarre behaviour is what’s killing the USA. Until ABC, NBC, and CBS start exposing his fabrications and insane rhetoric for what they are, you’re fucked.

I spent six hours driving to and from my parents' house today, listening to "Empireworld" by @sathnam.bsky.social . It's an absolutely cracking listen/read; and objectively it's incredibly balanced and -well- objective. Highly recommended.
