@velshimsnow.bsky.social I despair that Ali Velshi is leaving his weekend morning show this summer. He will not be able to cover issues and events in the same way in his new time slot. I respect and admire the work of Jacob Soboroff, but much will be lost.

Remember: According to the Atlantic, Stephen Miller is murdering people on boats because he wants people to believe Latinos are a menace. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Then there are the senior officials who see Venezuela as a means to project a tough-guy, defender-of-the-homeland image. Stephen Miller views the air strikes as an opportunity to paint immigrants as a dangerous menace, according to one of the White House officials.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

Big picture of JD Vance, and headline "Vance Flexes Marines' Might as Mass Protests Against Trump's Agenda Take Place." Two other stories on how Democrats have the wrong message and strategy.

Second "No Kings Day" protests the largest single-day political protest ever*, with 5.2-8.2 million participants

It’s not a mistake, a phase, or something to be prayed away. It’s a birthright. A truth. A flame that refuses to be snuffed out by doctrine or fear. For every #LGBTQ+ soul who’s been told to shrink, repent, or disappear—this is your reminder: You are not broken. You are loved. And your love is holy.

Trump loves to play the strongman, but in reality he is a weak, thin-skinned, petty little man-baby. #SundayThoughts #Pinks ☕️🌞☕️

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

Top *eight* articles on NYT devoted to Charlie Kirk, top one asks if he will be remembered like MLK. This is a man who only a tiny percent of Americans had even heard of before his death, whose views are too nasty for NYT to detail. But they are trying so hard to turn into martyr.

Trump’s firing of the labor statistics chief is described by the New York Times as a display of “disproportionate intensity.” Get serious, NYT. He’s not just throwing ketchup against the wall — he’s on an autocratic campaign of fraud against the American people.

Lashing Out Over Russia and Jobs Data, Trump Displays His Volatile Side
The president had been on something of a winning streak. But when faced with facts and foes that wouldn’t bend to his will, he responded with impatience and disproportionate intensity.
