Read the story's climate link too👇 "As media we consistently proclaim that we are just reporting the news when in fact we are driving it. What we cover, how we cover it, determines often what (people)Americans think is important and how they perceive these issues yet we keep pretending it’s not so.”
Why is the pundit class so desparate to push Biden out of the race? | Rebecca Solnitwww.theguardian.com Yes, Biden had a bad debate – but so did Trump. The media is once again repeating the mistakes of 2016

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!
The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

Read a substack shared by @suzette.bsky.social on how to stop fascism. One way Hitler gained power was through dividing/the division of other political parties. Dems have to stop. Stop talking to msm, stop being anonymous (if they are), stop dividing themselves. Publicly stand strongly in unity.

Someone said "Want more mainstream coverage of Project 2025? Give ‘em the clicks." and I've been taking it to heart. There's real momentum building and these outlets have basically insinuated they give the ppl what they want. Help get the word out. This outline passes.

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

"MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on the new ad by President Biden calling out Donald Trump in the harshest terms yet." Good ad. It's exactly what we need to be focusing on. After that they should put Project 2025 on TVs. Talk about SCOTUS corruption. Ppl need to see GOP networking simplified.

It’s a very obscure question but I did some research and it turns out that the president who led us out of the Depression and kicked Hitler’s ass was actually in a wheelchair? Who knew?
Kevin, I am not a historian, so IDK, but has there ever been a President in American History who used a mobility aid? And, if so, would you say this president who was so weak as to need, say, braces or a wheelchair, is considered to be one of the top President’s ever?

Shiv Ramdas @nameshiv.bsky.social · Yes Trump is still behind, no he isn't leading, yes the media fucking hates this, no they will not let you know that
what the last few weeks tells us is what we'd already know if there wasn't a literal industry trying their best to keep that info from the public- the republicans know they are never winning another free and fair national election in our lifetimes

These are the terms in which we need Democrats to be talking, & we need a platform that reflects it. If I am going to communicate to voters how critical this moment is, I need to be able to point to firm action Democrats intend to take to protect democracy against this nonsense.
Obviously, won’t go anywhere in a Republican House, but at least she’s doing something. Hopefully, there’s more coming.
