- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Hundred of journalists have been laid off from The Washington Post including their Kyiv war correspondent Lizzie Johnson. The Post's slogan is "Democracy Dies in Darkness" and right now Russia is destroying Ukraine's power system.
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻You may recall that in January of 2025, artist Ann Telnaes announced that she had quit The Washington Post after editors killed a cartoon that depicted owner Jeff Bezos, among others, genuflecting to Trump. This cartoon feels even more relevant this week.

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Racist garbage continues to emanate from this President and his White House.
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Trump spent money to call for the execution of innocent Black teenagers... Of *course* he'd portray the Obama's as apes. He's been super racist since forever. Add it to the pile.

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻NEW: Statement from NAACP president "Donald Trump’s racist video is disgusting and utterly despicable. Trump is obviously desperate to distract us from the Epstein files and his rapidly failing economy. You know who isn’t in the Epstein files? Barack Obama"
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Of course it isn’t fake, but it’s good to see a republican halfway call it out, I guess. Absolutely disgusting.
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻So, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

We must rise with these words to drown out the hate residing in our WH, and the empty hearts of his dead-eyed followers. We shall overcome ...
- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻Epstein survivor Anouska De Georgiou: With the way that these files have been handled…I feel like I have to get through hours at a time, because it’s just too much. This is years. Every week there’s some big thing that interrupts the flow of my life, in a way where I feel completely paralyzed.

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻I swear this clip is not edited. Trump pivots from downplaying the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti ("two people out of tens of thousands and you get bad publicity") to in the very next breath claiming "we've been very tough on the waters," leaving Tom Llamas baffled ("the waters?")

- Reposted by JP InTheHinderland 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇦🌻One way for the media to win back the respect of viewers would be for them to show us that they have some self-respect of their own. When you let the president denigrate and humiliate your colleagues without saying a word, you're not really giving off a "holding the powerful to account" vibe
