Refugee from Meta and WaPost. Looking for trustworthy sources of news and a community of people that still believe in democracy.

The silencing of Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, not to mention CBS’s editorial bending-of-the-knee, are the most noteworthy and shocking examples of true CENSORSHIP in my lifetime. We are on a slippery slope, folks. And it doesn’t lead to a good place.

She is saying that the intent of federal forces to LA is to usurp the democratically elected leaders of California and Los Angeles. Let that sink in for a moment. Watch out Seattle, Chicago, DC, Philadelphia and New York, you're next.

And why are editors still doing both-sides framing? RFK Jr made money from his anti-vax grift. He lied during his confirmation hearing. And yet his “experts” carry the same weight in stories as “pro-vaccine groups” that represent the vast majority of scientists?

It took RFK Jr. just six minutes to lie to Congress
Trump's HHS nominee is indeed anti-vaccine.

Finally, if Democrats do manage to take back Congress, it will be Trump's first defeat since 2020. Like that election, he will claim that the outcomes were "rigged" and illegitimate. Look for another Jan. 6-style attempt to thwart a legitimate electoral outcome that he disagrees with. (7/7)

Before and after the mid-terms, look for Trump to try to replace local election officials to ensure the outcomes that he wants. After the election, he will strong-arm Republicans who currently control Congress to only accept representatives whom he deems "legitimately elected". (6/7)

One way to interfere with elections will be through a massive disinformation campaign. A campaign that will be financed by the bribes he has received since his re-election and/or by his oligarch enablers. (5/7)

As we get closer to the mid-terms, look for Trump to try to assert authority (authority he doesn't have) over local elections and election officials. He will stop an nothing to prevent Democrats from gaining control of Congress. (4/7)

He will also likely use the DOJ and courts to silence or coerce pollsters to do his bidding, as he has tried to do with law firms, universities, and other entities who stand or who have stood up for the truth. (3/7)

Trump will try to discredit pollsters and their polls using the same ad-hominem attacks that he has used against anyone that doesn't fall in line (e.g. the "failing NY Times", "overrated" Bruce Springsteen and countless other examples). (2/7)
