I haven’t tried to verify this yet, because I’m still processing, but I just heard that country music back in the day couldn’t have drums, because drums indicated African culture and wasn’t pure country music. 😶😶😶

Your reminder that domestic terrorist not allowed to operate domestically flooded crack into our neighborhoods and the branch of the domestic terrorist launched the war on drugs. Corporate America flooded fentanyl into your neighborhoods and the same branch launched a national health crisis.

The despicable, violent, immoral @ICEgov thuggery is completely rejects the teachings of Jesus. But it is cheered on by right-wing evangelicals. (Shame on them.) @JohnFugelsang.bsky.social thinks he knows why.

Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

271,000 people have lost their jobs and federal spending has ctually increased. So people get less services, while we added debt paying for private jets for Kristi Noem, bulletproof cars for Kash Patel. This is what the rust belt voters demanded.

Neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post published stories about Trump writing 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day
You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun.

Almost.

@charlotteclymer.bsky.social is spot on:

“It's 2025, and we're sharing bootlegs of a “60 Minutes” segment broadcast in other countries because our own nation is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers.”

It's hard to ignore that this happened just as Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. was slipping away, with Kushner pulling out of the financing and Trump bad-mouthing CBS. Time to please the king again
Hours before 60 Minutes was set to air a story on deportees who were sent by the Trump administration to prison in El Salvador, describing “brutal and torturous conditions,” 60 Minutes announced that it has pulled the segment and will air it in the future.

For those of you who have actual lives and haven’t been living and breathing this story for the last 18 hours or so, I strongly recommend this piece.

Molloy brings it all together (don’t miss the highly damning timeline) and brilliantly clarifies the malfeasance, and the stakes for journalism.

Lying about the economy. Escalating violence in the Caribbean. Lashing out at his foes on Truth Social.

Trump’s mental instability was on full display this week.

It’s time to have a serious conversation about removing him from office.
