🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

Patrick Healy is the archetype of prevarication. The peak is that he doesn't want to 'wear out' the word 'LIE'. Also, the NYT has to step up and make it clear that Trump & his sycophants are assaulting American democracy. Trump said he was going to be dictator 'on day one'. Thank you Mark Jacob.

Trump and Musk are doing everything they can to try and force Ukraine to surrender to Putin while Musk spends over $300 million to try and buy the midterm elections to maintain total power. The American government under Republicans are on the side of evil. Vote them out.

SO... Musk owns Star Link and is using it to help Russia by cutting off Ukrainian access to the system. This is severely limiting Ukraine efforts to protect its population from Russian bombardment. How does he get away with this? He should not be meddling with U.S.' foreign policy.
