that creepy pic of young trump biting his lip at an epstein party where the two of them leer creepily at too young women. Ground hog Punxsutawney Phil photoshopped in the back ground as a joke since he was mentioned in the epstein files. with so many millions of pages, I am probably in there somewhere.
I left the liberal Twin Cities and went to my super conservative, rural hometown to protest. I was not a paid protester but I did get a payday! #NoKings#FreedomOfSpeech

@DrALJONES - now spreading it myself. I cannot recommend this enough. A good summary of the history of Palestine, and specifically Gaza, giving much needed context to what happened on Oct 7. He also addresses the loss of freedom of speech in the US.
The U.S. Department of Defense wants to limit what journalists who cover the Pentagon can report, asking them to sign a pledge to only write about approved material. The Columbia Journalism Review reports on what it means, and how journalists and sources are reacting.
"MAGA is unlikely to dominate America’s media. Yet even if Mr Trump does not win his battle, America could still lose. In a fragmented attention economy the best way to break through is to call everything an apocalypse, urge revolution or denounce fascism. If all the rewards go to divisive political entertainment, then founding good government on a common understanding of facts becomes ever harder. America survived a partisan press in the 19th century; it will probably do so in the 21st. But the vaudevillisation of the public square is a heavy burden on an overburdened democracy."
