Don’t believe the lies. Trump is *not* selling $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. It’s worse. Trump is *giving away* $2.8 billion of bombs for Israel’s genocide. American taxpayers are paying for those bombs.

This is exactly why transparency and accountability matter. When government officials can withhold or improperly redact information and force the public to fight for access, taxpayers end up paying for the obstruction too.

Exactly. Accountability shouldn’t be something people demand from the other side and excuse when it involves their own. If the standard is corruption, then apply that standard consistently, no matter who is in office.

The irony is almost too much. Threatening Canada over “interference” while the administration keeps trying to pressure and influence what happens beyond its own borders.

This is exactly why the scrutiny and transparency need to be relentless. We’re talking about children who are among the most vulnerable people in the country being placed in an ICE facility operated through a private corrections company.

That’s what makes all of this so unsettling. The preparations for what comes after his term deserve serious scrutiny. Democracy depends on peaceful transitions of power, not on building a permanent security state around one person.

That’s what makes this moment so frightening. Some damage can be repaired with time, but some consequences will shape institutions, communities, and people for generations. We can’t afford to become numb to it.

That’s what makes the whole thing so disturbing. Using sports, faith, and the promise of financial prosperity to convince people to take on serious financial risks is deeply troubling.

Exactly. Real accountability isn’t about distancing yourself when the political winds shift. It’s about having the courage to speak up when doing so actually costs you something.

themarathonreader.bsky.social @themarathonreader.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

I think that’s a fair point. The sheer volume of coverage raises questions about what the media chooses to amplify and whose voices get overlooked in the process.

The most concerning part to me is the inability to engage with basic questions in a clear and coherent way. Whatever anyone’s politics, voters deserve a president who can communicate clearly and be held accountable for his answers. These interviews are worth paying attention to.

I completely understand that feeling 😂 Some books just demand multiple rereads because you catch something different every time. The Handmaid’s Tale is definitely one of those books. And going straight into The Testaments after it is such a good choice! 📚❤️

Keep showing up. Keep learning. Keep pushing forward, even when you can’t see the destination clearly yet. Turbulence doesn’t mean you’re going in the wrong direction. Sometimes, it’s simply part of the journey. Stay disciplined. Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the horizon.

Haha love that you’re jumping right back into the high fantasy after this 😂 Empire of Silence is a solid choice, hope it lives up to the hype for you! Let me know how the cowboy romance treats you once you start it. I’m always down for more low-stakes fluffy recommendations if you need them 🐴❤️

ALL Americans are hurting and paying more for things because of the high price of diesel caused by Republicans. MANY businesses are hurt, EVERYONE pays more for everything. So why the hell should farmers get our money in a bailout - especially when 75% of them voted for this.

I’d feel extremely safe on this flight because I already know they had to work twice as hard, be twice as good and make half as many mistakes just to get into those seats. Black women make up less than 1% of professional pilots. Yeah, I’d sleep good on this flight. ✈️
