What if media would just stop quoting every of his outrageous and deranged utterances?
What if we would all stop being mesmerized by the spectacle?

Think 2012 and earlier. 👇🏽

A brilliant gesture, sending a powerful signal: you follow the principles of constitution, not the whims of a temporary commander.

Hello US military and Ministry of Defense (no, not war), this is an example to follow. 👇🏽
The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Must-read on the overt reverse-engineering (revealing the hypocrisy) of ”cancel cancel culture”.
Instead of attacks from the right-wing on the left-wing’s cancelling of racists, misogynists etc we will have right-wing leadership cancelling political opposition.

#DSA is there because big tech hinders fair competition, and exploit and manipulate Europeans, effectively reducing their basic rights and freedoms.
So what is the FTC really saying here? If Americans are not allowed to limit Europeans’ freedom unhindered, Americans’ freedom is being jeopardized…?

Dear journalists:

The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her.

Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause.

The removal was blamed on a "coding error."

Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Unusual times demand unusual measures in #journalism. Where is the internal debate over how to handle a constantly lying, media hostile, interviewee who regularly threatens to sue or sues your #media company?
The only accurate reporting in these times would be, "The President responded to the question by rambling incoherently for 5 minutes and the rest of the media pretended like he gave an answer, filling in the blanks for him."

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

Sen. Ron Johnson just floated sending Obama to Guantanamo. These people aren’t trolling...they’re laying groundwork. For arrests. For show trials. For dictatorship. Don’t laugh it off. Call it what it is: fascism with a smile.
