I get why it's important for journalists not to appear biased. I also get that if the mainstream media had been doing its job and reporting accurately and not sane-washing things that are truly insane then heroes like @terrymoranabc.bsky.social wouldn't have had to stand up and speak truth to power.

1 / A few things about Trump. First, he’s crazy. We know that. Second, he’s easier to glaze than a Christmas ham. If someone is nice and charming, he’ll discard whatever vitriol he previously spouted. Which bring us to the third thing.
Trump on Mamdani: "I think he's gonna surprise some conservative people, actually. And some very liberal people he won't surprise because they already like him."

Turns out Trump was condemning someone he knew nothing about. Really makes you wonder where he's getting his information and what else he's been wrong about. 🤔

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey.
This isn’t controversial.
A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

We're the country where intelligence and compassion went to die.
Trump on AI: "You can't go through 50 states. You have to get one approval. 50 is a disaster. Because you'll have one woke state and you'll have to do all woke. You'll be back in the woke business. We don't have woke anymore in this country. It's virtually illegal. You'll have a couple of wokesters"
