Louder … & REPEAT. REPEAT REPEAT REPEAY That’s how republicans win. They repeat their lies, their scare tactics, until voters believe them, until media “confirms” them.

Well, in his defense … Trump knows how to tell the truth too. He just always chooses not to do it.

Well, American journalists might’ve been tipped off years ago when Trump called them “Enemies of the State” & incited his voters to threaten them with violence. And they might’ve consulted with their international colleagues who have covered authoritatian regimes. But ok, draw the line at “Piggy”.

Thanks! I don't feel silenced since my books are bestsellers, but people who *just* figured out this information really should not be covering Trump. All of the evidence was, as the book says, Hiding in Plain Sight.

Are people forgetting this is the man who intentionally mismanaged the pandemic that killed millions of Americans. Including people whose families voted for him - twice. He has always been a Make Me / Try & Stop Me man. Without limits.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Don’t f* ‘em. Report him. And get pics, video. He did it once, in public. He’ll do it again. Get pics. Get video. Post it. Report him. We’ll take care of the rest.

Because more people voted for a convicted felon & an authoritarian party that’s great at propaganda that pushes hatred, division, & violence … than for a woman & a party that still brings (dull) knives to a gun fight.

Instead of talking soooo much about whatever “Trump tapped into” or however “democrats are failing” … Could we please PLEASE talk about how the past 30-40 yrs of GOP rhetoric & framing has shaped how people think? To intentionally make people believe the GOP’s version of truth is THE truth.

Well, except this is why Republicans are on a mission to erase real history & rewrite their own versions (see: January 6, Smithsonian…).

sminchicago.bsky.social @sminchicago.bsky.social · 18/09/2025

This is why I hate when media & pundits go on about how Democrats “need to give people something to vote FOR, not just say you’re against something.” Every day Trump is adding to the list of things to be against. Why is it not enough to just point to everything on the list & say WE ARE NOT THAT?

020

sminchicago.bsky.social @sminchicago.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

Why are you saying things like “Trump should be using this moment to unite”? You’re such fans of 200 yr old history .. not so much of recent history? See how Trump used Covid-19 & George Floyd to “unite”? When recent history shows you who they (Trump, GOP) are, WAKE UP! Stop reminiscing.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

Great! But how many might actually be afraid? And will media talk about the varied & constant GOP methods of voter suppression & intimidation? Or will it always just be about how Democrats are “too extreme” & “need to learn how to talk to moderates”. What’s “moderate” about voter intimidation?

Aside from a few judges, who has stopped him? So very thankful for these judges … but how long can this last? For decades, the GOP has been ramming thru partisan, unqualified judges. That, and decades of GOP gaslighting & propaganda (which many underestimate) has me quite scared.
