If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.
People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Do not psych yourself out of going to #NoKings Day because of scary-sounding viral content.
That’s not the vibe.
This is a mass demonstration designed to be big, safe, and accessible.
I can't wait to see you all out there. ♡

The things that have happened this week across the country have, at other times and in other places, each been singular catalysts for regime change. Occupying cities. Firing on peaceful protesters. Suspending fundamental liberties. Arresting elected officials. Each of these has toppled governments.

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.
The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

Kennedy draws from misinformation playbook by touting an inhaled steroid to treat measles
Trump’s health secretary said budesonide was helping to “heal” measles patients. It’s reminiscent of the days when fringe doctors said ivermectin could cure Covid.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months.
If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress.
To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Has anyone produced the contract by which El Salvador is holding folks for the US?
