When all else fails, set up a fake assassination to change the narrative and try to boost his numbers. Sad.

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

With Paramount the likely buyer of Warner Brothers, these recommendations will be changing soon. Our advise: binge watch HBOMax shows now, and be ready to cancel when Paramount takes over.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

These poor young women are being victimized over again because a bunch of powerful men (on both sides of the aisle) don't wan't to be outed. They will do anything to make sure that those files never see the light of day. If the victims speak publicly, their lives will undoubtedly be threatened.

This is another post breaking down our last post. The Justice Department’s decision to fire a judge-appointed U.S. Attorney and reinstate Trump’s preferred pick, without Senate confirmation, isn’t just unusual. It’s a direct attack on the separation of powers that defines American democracy.

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason (Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)

When the world rushed “back to normal” & abandoned Covid mitigations, we saw how much ableism & eugenics is ingrained in society. Disabled people warned you it would give rise to fascism, mass death & disability. You can’t abandon entire groups & keep your moral compass
