We need independent media, not state media or billionaire media.

This is what dictators do. Control public information.

Weaponizing media. Weaponizing religion. Weaponizing education. Weaponizing housing. Weaponizing food. Weaponizing healthcare.

This country is killing itself from the inside out. Really sad. I was hoping it would have happened when my son was much older or even not in his lifetime but here we are.

Thanksgiving Day 2024 and I am grateful for Brian Tyler Cohen! Thank you sir for everything you do!

[krisztinaannalofgren]

I have so much respect for you two gentlemen and how you keep fighting to save your country.

All dictators prey on weakness. It's in the dictator's handbook.

Mark Alias and Brian Cohen are American heroes!

When you move to Bluesky, make sure that you close your twitter account.

As a hungarian (not living in Hungary but very much up to date with the political situation), you are absolutely right about Orban’s friends & the regime

[adamknight]

CONTROL THE MEDIA, CONTROL THE MINDS !
Very Goebbels!

Allowing a foreigner who illegally immigrated to our country and is financially supporting a adjudicated Insurrectionist who cannot get the votes needed to lift 14th Amendment prohibition is concerning we have allowed him to own anything here in the US much more concerning is the access to unlimited control of our communication networks. Violations with financial penalties have been ineffective at curbing information frauds that mislead the public.

Yet another example why the world shouldn’t have people with this much wealth

[ladydogans]

I love you guys you are strong and stand up to bullies. If you do not stand for something you will fall for anything. Thank you for remaining brave when many have whipped out.

Thank you Brian and Mark for all you do to continue informing us of the truth! Peace to all this Thanksgiving and beyond!

Elon musk is the best example to show, capitalism, unhinged is not the solution, it's the reason for many problems...

Thank you for telling us the truth. On election night, I was watching MSNBC and I said to myself, this is the last time they will be broadcasting a presidential election. I hope my favorites Rachel and Lawrence are making plans. I'm grateful you are here, BTC.
