60 Minutes is the latest media institution to bend the knee to Trump and MAGA's bad-faith bullying. This is how the right-wing dominates the landscape. Aaron Rupar offers a way to fight back and win.
This makes me so sad! 60 Minutes was one of the few truly courageous mainstream media outlets to take Trump on, every single week. So disheartening when pusillanimity wins out in the end. :( Corporate bosses suck.
It said because the owner wants its Paramount merger to go through and for that they need approval from DOJ, etc. Trump will kill it unless he gets his pound of flesh. Easier to obey in advance than fight.
We are in the middle of a government take over and Dems are too slow with the follow up. Do they also want anarchy? Are they waiting for citizens to rise up instead of them? Weak weak response while the rich boys play with our country!!! Citizens RISE up!!!! We took control in 1776 let’s see if we still have the power!!
Free and Fair Elections!? Look at what the Republicans are doing in North Carolina, trying to overturn the NC Supreme Court Results where the Domocratic leaning candidate won by 700+ votes and despite two or three recounts, the Republicans are still going through multiple courts 5 months after the election trying to get Republican judges to throw out thousands of votes so the Repub candidate wins! Don't ass-u-me that the 2026 elections will be free and fair, or take place at all!
My thinking is that we need a Project 2030. Democrats need the equivalent of the Heritage Foundation and Moms 4 Liberty. Stacking the courts is just not going to happen. They've been working on Project 25 for 25 years. We are way behind.
Congress, Democrats, Republicans and Americans need to wake up. This isn't about 60 Minutes. Its about all of the other media outlets, Law firms, Universities and personal threats is what this is about. Many of us are eyes wide open as this Democratic Republic is being turned into an authoritarian fascist dictatorship. This is hindering free speech which is one of the tenets of this constitutional democratic republic and many see the trees but not the whole forest. This is what happened back in WW2 when one person - someone that the current center of this problem read much about - made a country fascist. It was warned during the run up to the presidential election and now instead of the attempts to try to convince "we" didn't know what was going to happen, its happening. Congress needs to understand that someone is trying to make America a fascist/authoritarian/dictatorship with a multi-billionaire as support. America has rules and some are designed to stop this from happening. The checks need to be used.
Not a good time to claim Gavin Newsome is anything less than outstanding, well spoken, able to go toe to toe with loudmouth orange face. I believe that all this grubling negativity could be planted info. Russian or smart Maga, to get Dems to bite theirselves in the face..
A Concerning Alliance: The Intersection of Hindutva and MAGA
As we adjust to this second Trump term, we are witnessing a troubling alliance between American Hindu supremacists and the MAGA far right. This emerging partnership is more than just a political alignment; it represents a convergence of ideologies that prioritize nationalism and exclusion over the values of inclusivity and diversity that are foundational to our society. The VP Kamala Harris was not only fighting right wing ideologies but fighting against
the Hindutva movement, which advocates for Hindu nationalism, is finding common ground with the MAGA agenda, raising significant concerns about the implications for marginalized communities in America. This alliance not only threatens the progress we have made toward equality and justice but also risks amplifying voices that seek to divide rather than unite.
It is essential to approach this situation with empathy, recognizing the fears and frustrations that drive individuals toward these movements. However, we must also remain informed and vigilant, understanding the potential consequences of this collaboration. As we navigate this complex political landscape, it is crucial to stand firm in our commitment to democratic values and to advocate for a society that embraces all its members, regardless of their background. The future of our nation depends on our ability to confront these challenges with compassion and resolve.
I'm not too pissed off at Newsom because he's merely trying to reach a place where he can continue to receive federal money to benefit his constituents. On the other hand, there's no excuse for Bill Maher except for the fact that he's always been a hypocrite and a total asshole.
Thanks for this.. a very productive enlightening discussion. Aaron has to absorb a lot and assess where to best spend his time.. dangerous work... Acyn too. I am thankful. I am here introduced to Wajahat Ali and will keep checking his work. Supporting Aaron Rupar's work has been very worthwhile. Will check Joyce Vance interview. A nice substack community of pushback forming. How to get the big picture and the truth across is the existential issue. We are so easily played, duped, diverted, by the next moral outrage, the next "moral panic" and Aaron puts it..
No, I would suggest that everyone in North Carolina take to the streets and protest the Republicans trying to literally steal the election, and VOTE DEMOCRATIC IN 2026!

They will go down in history by not doing the right thing.
It is unbelievable! Are the KGB at their homes, threatening to kill their families? Why else would they succumb to Right Wing?

Republicans can control everything and still be the victim.

The Dems seem to be pansies

He who controls the image (message) controls the mind. MAGA is mind control on steroids. It’s a cult.
