The breakdown in this about the Paramount Warner Brothers deal and why it is a near deathblow to free speech is excellent. "The Larry Ellison MAGA media takeover."

Thank you for writing about what so many who were concerned about the Netflix deal destroying the movie business failed to understand. The Paramount Warner Brothers deal is a dystopian nightmare for Hollywood in general, not just the movie theatres.

We’ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.

Their stories must be told.

The Kurds would be fools to trust Trump after what Trump did to them the last time he was in office. Like, seriously?

No one should cooperate with America. You have our support to seriously refuse to cooperate with these psychopaths. The vast majority of our country is being held hostage.

In fact, if your govt is considering regime change, please start here.

If 25% of US citizens want the war, it would appear that the 25% overrides the wishes of the 75%. Maybe the mid-terms will even that out πŸ€”. I agree that the UK and Europe should stop massaging his ego and applauding his crap decision making.

And yes, knowing that troops are being sent into battle sans Rules of Engagement is a big stressor for me. It honestly makes me sick to my stomach knowing that is happening. Knowing America has become this.

Wow. The U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem tells Americans they’re on their own.

As many are noting, historically in the recent past and overall in world military and diplomatic history, external attacks and assassinations have a bad track record in toppling regimes, particularly without sustained commitment to military occupation. Instead they tend to strengthen the state. πŸ—ƒοΈ

Congress used to have a Constitutional role in authorizing the use of force by the United States. Congress debated and declared wars, acted to authorize the president to use force short of needing a declaration. Congress even had a role if just by dint of high level briefings. Apparently, no more.πŸ—ƒοΈ

The multinational Iran Nuclear Deal, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was working by almost every account and the US withdrew in May 2018, it has all been getting worse in US-Iran relations since then. Though there is a longer history at work... Accurate on the recent history for sureπŸ—ƒοΈ πŸ‘‡

Netflix Lost Warner. Maybe That’s a Good Thing.

Whelp, Americans get fucked over by the MAGA oligarchs again, and of course, the @nytimes.com is spinning it as a good thing. The worse thing to happen to the media landscape is handing yet another outlet to David Ellison.😑

In other words, ICE-Gestapo kidnapped and murdered yet another innocent person.

Pure Putin mindset.

Europe and NATO in particular, must not sleep on this!

The President made it clear tonight he has no interest in solving the health care crisis that HE created.

I remember why. It's still the best thing to happen for him. He's now able to speak freely against the Trump regime and it's removed most opportunities for him to put his sexist foot in his mouth.😏

Yep. I mean, it works for me, but I also see what's problematic about it.

After text messages revealed that Rep. Tony Gonzales pressured a married staffer to send him explicit photos and engage in an affair that led to her suicide, Boebert joins Luna & Mace calling for him to resign and defends it from Republicans concerned about their majority.

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

They say we’re β€œtoo angry.”

Our government is killing people on the streets, locking them in cages, kidnapping, torturing, beating, trafficking and β€œWe’re too Angry” 😑

What exactly is the acceptable tone for what our government is doing!!!

Rep. Garcia: The Trump administration is trying to strip Fourth Amendment rights. ICE wants to write its own β€œpermission slip” to break down doors without a judge. Those spreading violence and chaos are the same ones ignoring the Constitution.
