 I wonder how many times someone with sense will write a good piece like this before journalism at large gets the message.

In their efforts to appear “balanced”, most of the mainstream media gives a free pass to the most treasonous anti-American behavior in history—all of it on only one side, the Republicans. Call it out and call it what it is: a concerted attempt by a minority of mostly white people to overthrow and exercise permanent control over American democracy.

 @e396cd52 Horrifying example from the #WashingtonPost today:

Trump took credit for ending Roe, said women should face punishment for having an abortion as in prosecution, appointed 3 anti-Roe corrupt justices to the highest court and specifically said he’d appoint justices to SCOTUS end Roe. This is FULL ON PROPAGANDA and obviously a lie.
