The internet broadened visibility far beyond what can be personally experienced. We are hooked to an infinite firehose of unsolicited joy, pain, fear. Bad actors have sniffed out our cognitive inability to make sense of such chaos. They offer simple narratives reinforcing tribal dogma. Brainwashing.

🚨 LA’s hottest protest party, the TESLA DINER TAKEDOWN, is moving to FRIDAY and SATURDAY nights starting this Friday, September 26. ⚡️ Come help us celebrate American democracy and oppose the world’s richest, most dangerous corrupt billionaire, Elon Musk 🇺🇸☮️🎉 #TeslaTakedown @teslatakedown.com

This fuckin’ loser. Blue states and cities generate the majority of wealth and internal revenue in this nation that allow him to collect a federal pay slip. We are your boss, little Stephen Miller. Your ass will be laid off soon enough.

Fascism is an objective thing that exists, and some people fit that description.

Seems wrong to characterize the Kimmel affair, as I’ve seen some people do, as “corporate censorship.” The but-for condition was a direct threat by the FCC chair; that’s state censorship.

The Global Town Square 😑

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

the republican line to open corruption in the government is “WE DON’T CARE” lmfao

1. BREAKING In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

Nothing to 👀 over on Twitter the right-wing Bots are out in full force trying to make Charlie Kirk a saint. Go figure

Jimmy Kimmel, Rogan of the left?

Just adding this.. for the history.

LFG

Getting the country we deserve.

Trump on sending the troops into American cities: "It's sort of like war. I hate to tell you."

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

Shout out to Wall Street for not giving two stale shits about American democracy.

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

This really is the final expression of "libertarianism" as it is practiced in the US today.

Back in the day they used to teach inclusivity and political correctness and all that sorta crap at business school. Luckily, those days are gone and today’s business leaders are focused solely on sucking oligarch dick.

This is the whole ball game, gang.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Some awful people once said “Fuck your feelings.” And they got up everyday and did the work to make that world a reality. And now that’s the world we all live in. Be the change. 💖

Get fucked, collaborators. This is going to be very unpopular in my house, but you know what's even more unpopular? Fascism. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

The Mouse Trap

I probably recognize the severity of this moment better than most. I literally gave up writing and making videos in my NATIVE language because of fear. My whole life has been a struggle with that fear. Many Chinese who aren't fortunate enough to learn another language simply keep their mouths shut.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Govt mobster: “If you don’t shut Jimmy up, we’re coming over there with a tire iron.” ABC: “Please, no! He’s gone!” Libertarian: “The free market does it again!”

What a relief that we've spent the past decade wringing our hands about censorious leftist college students

One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.

The nation's descent into dictatorship in less than 8 months has - like that of other failed democracies - been marked far more by systemic capitulation than by systemic compulsion. We have only ourselves to blame if that continues.

A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life. Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

Turns out preventing tyranny was more about protecting the rule of law and less about protecting individual gun rights.

remember when comedy used to be completely legal but rightwingers started a full on assault on the entire US media apparatus to “legalize comedy”

Stock futures edge higher as first amendment dies

Why not just loop a highlight reel of our president’s most impressive feats on the golf course 9pm-5am? After dark is when the most insidious Leftist programming runs, anyways.

In a Sept. 10 focus group of Latino Trump voters, "Every single one of the seven participants said they regretted voting for Trump." "They were angry over the state of the economy and frustrated by Trump’s handling of immigration and deportations." @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social has the story.

I wonder how many people who have pumped their fist in the air and sung along to Won’t Get Fooled Again over the years voted for Trump three times.

The First Amendment was never written to shield polite talk. It exists to protect the words we despise—because silencing them only breeds more danger. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
