I hope y'all are understanding that CNN is right wing cosplaying as center now. There's way more important things to report on than that man — I haven't watched it (I don't dignify my time with State propaganda anymore) and I'm hoping y'all stop investing in outlets that do not give a fuck about y'all too.

The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association.

We need to tell the Biden Administration to undertake every effort to block these dangerous laws. My team and I urge you to take action with us: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

@flexghost I completely agree that CNN needs to be boycotted and is no better than Fox. Disgraceful behavior just to make a buck. Many won’t agree, but we need to move beyond President Biden’s age and make sure Orange-Guy NEVER occupies the White House. #VoteBlue #VoteBlue2024

There were not fine people on both sides of Charlottesville.

The January 6th rioters were not good people.

End of story.

STOP LISTENING TO THE LIARS!!! Last night CNN gave Trump a platform to lie. They helped him lock down his nasty base. All that matters about that now is you vote for candidates who want to reduce gun violence, protect choice, restore Democracy. STOP LISTENING TO THE LIARS!!!

CNN giving a sociopath more than an hour to lie on live TV in front of MAGA cheerleaders reminds me that ...

... Joe Biden cleaned up the economic mess that sociopath left behind & led the USA to the strongest post-pandemic economic comeback in the World.

More on the Justice Thomas ethics problem:
Interesting that yesterday I heard from three different people, a tax practitioner (right here on Facebook), a dentist (at dinner), and a retired laborer (in a phone call), all tell me that because Justice Thomas’ contributor(s) had no cases before the Court, the Justice was not ethically obligated to report their financial ties. Obviously this is not true.
Two things are significant:
1) Fox entertainment TV is the source of misinformation? These are three people who do not regularly deal with ethics policies in their work and are not likely to be students of ethics. They do watch Fox TV. In contrast, I do regularly deal with employment ethics policies as an adviser, board member, or Form 990 preparer for nonprofit organizations. I’ve never seen or read about an employment ethics policy for a lawyer or government employee that allows employees to choose which financial relationships they disclose. (I have no experience with judicial ethics policies, but there is no indication in any credible media that an ethics policy for judges is different). Any student of ethics knows that selective disclosure is a flawed concept. So I assume that false narrative is coming from a media source like Fox entertainment network. This appears to be another effort at mass misinformation, similar to the election fraud misinformation campaign.
2) Damages? Any person who was subject to an ethics policy in their work (like government employees, lawyers and accountants) knows that you don’t get to pick and choose which financial relationships you disclose. The spreading of this false information could have negative ripple effects throughout industries subject to ethics policies. If so, this will eventually cause real world damages.
If my theory is true that this another Fox lie, are there any lawyers out there willing to suggest that Fox may be liable for damages for lying to the public again?

Trump went on CNN & lied for 60 minutes straight without any pushback

Marjorie Taylor Greene went on 60 Minutes & lied for 60 mins straight without any pushback

RFK Jr went on ABC & lied the whole time without any pushback

The media fucked us over in 2016 & are doing it again

At what point are people going to realize that NYT and CNN won't be shamed out of their rightwing asskissing?

Yes, what they're doing is dangerous and irresponsible, whether CNN's shitshow tonight or NYT platforming dangerous and willfully disingenuous whataboutism about trans people.

But being shocked about it? Folks: have you not been paying attention? how many times recently have they done things like this? Because we can count more than a few times. It's deliberate. Name it.

The fucking cheating Nazi pieces of shit in Ohio also stacked the Ohio Supreme Court with cheating Nazi pieces of shit so there's no legal challenge.

Rules and laws don't matter to Nazi pieces of shit.

I feel this should be shared a lot more 🙂

"NY Times: House Republican Report Finds No Evidence of Wrongdoing by President Biden
After months of investigation and many public accusations of corruption against Mr. Biden and his family, the first report of the premier House G.O.P. inquiry showed no proof of such misconduct."

One of the things that made Twitter so powerful was its ability to amplify calls for grassroots activism— it's time to see if Mastodon can deliver the goods, too: if you want to help send the message that fascists should not be given a national platform to spew their hateful rhetoric: open Apple News (or your Android equivalent) and block the *CNN Politics* channel

“Back in 2017, if you wanted a car that cost less than $20,000, you had 11 options. [In] March of 2023, and that list had been narrowed to only two. The average price of a new car is currently more than $48,000, up 30 percent over the last three years.”

Cars are now for the rich. Cities that support car-free living will be the winners.

AOC on CNN's Trump town hall: "I know you said earlier that you will not comment on the platforming of such atrocious disinformation, but I would. I think it was a profoundly irresponsible decision ... it was shameful."

“There’s only one logical conclusion to be drawn from all this. This is what the America gun manufacturers, the NRA, and right-wing politicians want: a country where we know that any trip to the mall involves a certain rolling of the dice.” newrepublic.com/article/172503
