Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

BUSINESS AS USUAL in #LosAngeles via #LAWA? #MayorBass is seriously dropping the ball on many fronts, this is yet another where she is either siding against residents or deeply uniformed by Staff Get ready for far more noisy jet traffic as #Oligarchs seem to be winning even on the local front.

Meet the Enemy: Project 2025 is bad enough – wait till you see what the shadow groups behind it want to do. “I wanted to show that their vision of #America is hideous and terrifying. I would say it would be the equivalent of the #Christian version of #Iran.” #Project2025 it is happening NOW!

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

make no mistake, this is the #Project2025 shutdown

How Chief Justice John Roberts Rewrote the #Constitution and Helped #Trump Return to Power The Political #Fascists on #SCOTUS that must be removed, indicted, convicted and imprisoned for sedition!

Sound familiar?

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: Once a country is habituated to liars, it takes generations to bring the truth back. -Gore Vidal, writer (3 Oct 1925-2012)

Who will stand for the #Constitution in the shutdown? “ #Trump’s unlawful actions haven’t “tested” the courts and “defied” Congress. They have violated the express terms of Article I of the Constitution! They have violated the Impoundment Control Act.”

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY: When I despair, I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it, always. -Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 Oct 1869-1948)

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

here's today's post: "a police state, but with fuckwits" — this would be hilarious if it weren’t so scary. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Why are we so polarized? Why is democracy is such peril? #Capitalism is compatible with democracy only if #democracy is in the driver’s seat. But the absence of democracy doesn’t strengthen capitalism. It fuels #despotism.

Gavin Newsom: #fdt #freespeech 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Observe the OBVIOUS: Free speech on "social media" is largely an illusion! YOU may "speak" on social media, but THE COMPANY controls where your "speech" might be encountered by others! YOUR speech is ALWAYS limited, partially censored, by SOFTWARE! #usdemocracy

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

The #DemocraticParty is dead to the people! #Progressive direction is inevitable as #WallStreet will collapse ultimately from its #greed Everything eventually dies… how it is reborn will be up to whether people will be able to work together to rebuild democracy. We are now at that nexus.

Don’t like a TV show? Don’t watch it. I liked Jimmy Kimmel, so I watched. I hate Fox News, so I don’t. Problem solved.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, that’s one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.

#ABC and its parent company #Disney have cancelled Jimmy #Kimmel’s show following threats from #Trump’s FCC chair. Stop watching ABC, including your local network. Stop watching ESPN, FX, Freeform, and Disney Channel. Don’t visit Disneyland, Disneyworld, or any other Disney parks.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

#ABC can pretty much fuck all the way off www.jefftiedrich.com/p/abc-can-pr...

#Trump’s War on #Laughter Will Bite Him in the Ass open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

ABC is blocking Freedom of Speech, let them know you are PISSED!

Trump's Calamitous Crypto Corruption #Crypto… what is it good for? Practically nothing as it is based on absolutely nothing…. Say it again! “All this corruption is bad enough. Worse, it could tank the economy.”

Where’s the outrage for this? This is the shit that these young white men hear and go out and carry it out. I am so exhausted listening to ppl tell the Left to tone it down. What about this shit??

In a sane world, Fox host Brian Kilmeade would be fired and shunned for his depraved comments that homeless people should be euthanized. That’s sick (and deeply ignorant), but sicker still is that it’s tolerated.

We should post and repost this 👇🏻
