Trump's ban on MSNOW, CNN, and Politico is not only part of the autocratic playbook, but the timing is no coincidence. Trump is well in the autocratic backfire process, thus, entire media outlets he sees as threats must be banished. This is a moment of reckoning for America.

Tom Massie posted a calendar labeling the days of work Mike Johnson canceled because of him.
Tom Massie tweet:

Here’s a calendar to show the days 
@SpeakerJohnson
 has cancelled in Congress. September 17 was canceled to avoid a vote on my Hegseth impeachment. The last two weeks in September were canceled to avoid a vote on releasing more Epstein files. He’s closing Congress to stop me.

Below there is a congressional calendar from July to December. 

July 1-2 are labeled Rules retreat.
September 17 is labeled Hegseth Holiday.
September 22 to October 2 are labeled Epstein Recess.

AI won't kill everyone, but a billionaire cultist might very use AI to help him figure out how to kill everyone. The AI cultists are Heaven's Gate on steriods, only it's an AI religion and not a UFO religion, and their target is the human race and not just their own cult.

I had an interesting conversation with a postal worker today about using generative AI as a normie who cannot draw anything more than a stick figure and didn't want to bother an artist with their silly ideas. Speaking as an artist to normies, please bother me your silly ideas.

One REASON why press performs like trained seals like this is bc the far right has mastered using social media to pressure MSM to do so (it's not the only reason but it is one reason). That's why I harp so much on finding a response TO THAT. We don't need to do that but we do need to do something.

Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it. No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this". We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now. NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

When we think about things that we need to smash into bits in order for none of this to happen ever again, American Exceptionalism needs to be on the list, right under (and conjoined with) white supremacy.

The US has built a mythology internally that relies on the entire world to sustain, but to admit this would be to shatter the narrative we have that We Are The Greatest and The Rest Of the World Needs Us And Sometimes We Deign To Help Them.

Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes - not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.

I consider it a great privilege to live alongside members of the military and share their stories. It's a shame for the institution and service members, who swore to defend the Constitution and deserve right to a free and independent press.

When you RT Trump's bullshit posts w/no filter, you help to make them go viral, you WILLINGLY confirm that he is the arbiter of truth, and you also drown out news reports on his abuse. He plays you all every single time.

I’m trying to reconcile Trump still owning Operation Warp Speed as a victory (which it was) with GOP claiming the vaccine killed millions of people. Isn’t the person to blame, then, Trump, not Fauci??

What happened to the February Supreme Court ruling that only Congress can impose tarrifs? Did that apply only to the narrow case of using emergency powers as rationale? So imposing tarrifs in a fit of pique is OK?

And it quietly scaled back the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network, also known as FoodNet, shrinking the required surveillance to just two pathogens: salmonella and a common type of E. coli. One of the pathogens they made optional for states to report: Cyclospora.
