The other night, Lawrence O’Donnell of The Last Word pointed out some the news that tRump does not want us to see.
That’s a large reason for sending troops to California. It’s not to control the protests, which are peaceful.
It’s to intimidate. To appear strong.
And to distract from the news he does not want us to see or hear
What is some of that news? Skip below the fold to see listen to some of it!
(Note that in my part of the world, youtube gets weird sometimes with the msnbc videos, so this is audio only)
Perhaps you don’t want, or don’t have the time to listen? Here’s some of it:
tRump stumbling. Given how often the right wing media showed Biden stumbling, this matters
Last week, Elon Musk was calling for tRump’s impeachment and talking about Epstein
The budget for billionaires bill is in trouble (make sure to contact your reps and senators and make sure it sinks). The national debt soaring, and cuts to Medicaid
The number one cause of death of kids is gunshot, and it’s worse in the states with loose gun laws, and it has gotten worse since SCOTUS
Zelenskyy’s response to tRump acting as if the war in Ukraine is like a couple of school kids. No, it’s a vicious murderer who showed up with weapons to murder children
How RFK Jr just fired everyone at the CDC who works on vaccines
Ignoring how Musk is going quiet, now that he realizes how dependent he is on the government and hence tRump (but the pressure put on him was corrupt and illegal)
The hundreds of thousands of poor people who have died because of Musk’s cuts to USAID
Things I will add from my own notice:
The stock market may appear up, but the dollar is weaker against many currencies. Here it is against the euro:
And job losses for federal workers! More people lost their federal jobs in May than in previous months.
The fact that there have been no trade deals.
The fact that tariffs are making prices go up.
The corruption in the oval office (not going to enumerate, too long).
No, he’s trying to get us to look elsewhere.
x Can’t help but think this obviously manufactured chaos is all because the orange felon failed with his stupid bill, his tariff trade war, his BS economic plan, the jobs report and of course because he’s in the Epstein files. Trying to distract with a civil war is peak fascism. — Ricky Davila (@therickydavila.bsky.social) 2025-06-11T04:31:19.948Z
In The Last Word — back from Monday, so the number has surely gone up — only 52 protesters had been arrested. It should be a non-story.
So, what should you do?
Contact your representatives and senators about the damned bill for billionaires.
Contact the media to complain about what they are covering.
Add more things that you know is not getting enough attention
Go to a rally, especially on Saturday
Please add other ideas below
🐦 I do a lot of other writing. Newest offerings: Messing with the Myths — two books so far in this series. Try them! They’re fun! Older offerings: the Crow Nickels (chronicles), about crows who want to save birdkind from extinction (Hunters of the Feather). Mysteries based on Jane Austen’s novels, such as The Meryton Murders. Others based on history and Greek mythology, e.g., Jocasta: The Mother-Wife of Oedipus. All titles also available through Kindle Unlimited.
