"The main thing authoritarians have to do ... is change the perception of violence in public," says Ruth Ben-Ghiat. "So what once was reprehensible ... becomes okay and even assaulting the Capitol becomes a patriotic act." #velshi https://www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/watch/-if-trump-gets-back-into-power-he-ll-never-leave-says-authoritarian-expert-ruth-ben-ghiat-181703749508

Pregnant woman and others killed as the Russians shoot at volunteers and those fleeing the Kakhovka Dam flooding https://khpg.org/en/1608812371
Tetiana Hryshko was almost 33 and pregnant when the Russians killed her in Kherson oblast as she tried to rescue her grandparents from the flooding unleashed by the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on 6 June. As of late on 11 June, she is one of several Ukrainians reported killed as they tried to flee for their lives or help others to evacuate.
@tultican #WhiteSupremecy Talk about back to the ugly past. These people do realize they live in the USA? Or they are just so hungry for the good ‘ole persecution/murder days with them as the persecutors? 🤔

Looks like we got another #snowden but this time the #felon wanted to sell the information for a profit rather than to do something #whistleblowing. #trump needs to go away for a good 20 years fr trying to sell the #presidency.
@MSNBC Those types of calls should put the offending Representative in legal jeopardy. 😑

#GunViolence InAmerica “Guns are the problem. More guns are the solution!”, as GOP thinking goes. “And I’ve got a back pocket full of thoughts and prayers ready to go for the parents of slaughtered children! Good to go to my next NRA meeting.” 😬

[The Washington Post] How many guns will it take to make us safe?

65 (2023)- This story, they lay it out in print at the beginning, “65 million years ago a transport expedition full of human looking people runs into calamity and they end up crash landing on an uncharted planet labeled as Earth”. Adventures ensue…you might also remember that 65m years ago in Earth history, a significant event takes place.
Bottom line, I found this story to be border line boring and forgettable. Theres nothing that stands out worth remembering.

THE NATIONAL CURRENT
Well, the White Christian President got hit with 37 counts of federal crime this week, which, as counts of federal crime go, seems to me like a lot of federal crimes—for a presidential candidate, anyway.
What did he do? Oh boy!

William Barr says Trump may be ‘toast’ after ‘very damning’ indictment https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/11/trump-indictment-william-barr?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Short memories goes a long way in today’s GOP. 🤔
@GottaLaff @emptywheel Born in Thump’s image, disinformation plays a prominent role in the heads of #MAGgots(MAGA) and fascism. It’s the only way, they can make their world work for them. Honest arguments? No way Jose, that’s too hard. Even if these people recognize the lies, they are in on the scheme, it’s for their personal perceived good so democracy is overrated and the end justifies the means, any means. 😳

Great. Jimmy J just made himself a witness.
Jordan Weissmann:
#JimJordan is on CNN claiming that #Trump declassified the information even though Trump said on tape he didn’t.

Former Atty General #WilliamBarr speaking to #FOX about #TrumpIndictment, “If even half of it is true, he’s toast”
Barr says the indictment alleges “very egregious obstruction” and adds “this whole thing came about because of reckless conduct” by #Trump 🤔
