Trump's FCC chair stooge says @cbsnews @60minutes will now have a "bias monitor that reports directly to Trump" as a condition of the Paramount/Skydance merger Honestly why even bother at that point? Don't we have enough regime propaganda networks already?

This is the Mobster Way of getting rid of the competition in the Media Market; kill them off so that the only News is Trump Media News.

more and more like 1930s Germany/c. 1970 China every day.

Here in Abbottistan, a new Texas bill, SB37, starting this fall, there will be a website or phone number to "report" professors who stray from the orthodoxy, sent to a political crony panel "ombudsman" to review cases.

THe GOP attack on higher education, starting in Florida a few years ago, grows like a cancer.

Good.
The Trump crowd is well known to over-reach, grasping at straws and for as much as they can get away with. These people are also known to get spanked in the courts, and SCOTUS cannot hear appeals on EVERY case, because that would interfere with time on private yachts, private planes and donated RVs. As for a 'bias monitor', that's Trump himself, who struggles between TV time and golf. Imagine if that guy had to work...

Insanity in America is like cancer in your brain. It just keeps growing until it kills the host organism which also does result in the death of the cancer. MAGAmalignancy is growing in America and eventually it will kill America or just disfigure it beyond recognition, I would rather see America completely die rather than go on sort of living as a horribly disfigured nation based on the MAGA values of hatred, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, etc. I hope I don't live long enough to see the MAGAparadise and I hope my kids and grandkids forgive my generation for allowing this to happen.

One wonders when ICE becomes an official goon squad to harass and when able, arrest those of us who are outspoken opponents of the fascists in charge of our government. Look at Russia, look at Afghanistan for that matter, to see how it is done. Intimidation doesn't have to mean going after all the opponents, it means finding a few very public opponents and treating them like crap.
The last is pretty much all Trump is about these days.
