Agree with Mayor Pete.......

“What do YOU HAVE? You have NOTHING, you are nothing. You are wickedness, you are jealousy, you are hatred, YOU ARE NOTHING. You can build nothing, produce nothing, create nothing."

"I hate my opponents" "and I don't want the best for them". DJT at Kirk's memorial service yesterday. So our president hates half the country and wants them to fail, including . . . ME

Charlie Kirk's grieving widow had just left the stage moments before the fireworks for Trump kicked off. Just so wildly and blatantly inappropriate for a memorial service for someone else. Fucking nuts.

Donald Trump: Charlie Kirk "did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them." In 2023, Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden.

If you actually thought Donald Trump would be able to deliver “unifying” remarks at the memorial service of his “friend” Charlie Kirk, I have a bridge to sell you.

IN THE USA… Anderson Cooper: So it's more expensive to have a chronically homeless person living on the streets than it is to actually subsidize an apartment for them? Answer: Yes, we’re paying more as taxpayers to walk past that person on the street and do nothing… www.cbsnews.com/news/100000-...

I have never seen a festival of hate like what is happening in Arizona today Every speaker sounds like they want to genocide more than half of America

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

MAGA influencer agenda today will be anger, hate, and division. Don't let it in. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

ABC Executives didn't think what Kimmel said was over the line,but Decided to CAVE To Chump.......

A. Literal. Republican. Assassinated. Melissa Hortman. And Her Husband. And Her Dog. So. Don’t. Say. This. Stupid. Shit.

Michael Wilson, who covers New York City for The New York Times, has covered many, many scams in decades of covering crime. Why did this one seem to work so much better than others?

Since Antifa is now designed as a terrorist organization it will be interesting to see how they determine who is a member and how they prove it is an organization.

MEMPHIS: “Our founding fathers didn’t overthrow a monarch just to see another replace it… The solution to crime is opportunity, not occupation.” Councilwoman + candidate for governor @jerrigreen4tn rips Trump & @govbilllee for sending in troops, warns other cities they’re next.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks This is where we are today. We are led by a man who doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He said it, believe it. If this nation is to heal, it is up to us. #ResistTyranny #BeLoud

NEWS: Disney cancelled Kimmel even though executives did not think he crossed a line, but feared Trump, Sinclair demands a donation from Kimmel to Kirk's family, Trump targeting NBC next, and more. A dark day for the First Amendment. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

MAGA logic…

@carlquintanilla.bsky.social Please ask Brendan Carr what happened to this guy 👇

@jvl.bsky.social I am an @thebulwark.com subscriber (& thankful I am) & just read the end of today's email from you to my wife. Today's email (article) is SOOOO IMPORTANT I'm going to forward it to everyone I know

Antifa stands for “anti-fascist” So it seems obvious that a fascist wouldn’t call them his best friend.

Of. Course. The same sick fuchs who whined for four years about their 1A rights are now going to EXTREMES to limit free speech and enact punitive measures against anyone who speaks out against the Trump autocracy.

Welcome to 1984.

In sum: (1) This is alarming coming from Trump and (2) in this moment — as in, in light of this past week, not even the past nine months — but (3) it remains to be seen what it actually is, and (4) how it would be implemented, especially (5) in light of previously acknowledged limitations.

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.” Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.

I'm serious this will not end well. At some point people will understand the worse will occur. Our enemies of Democracy want the union of states to break up. I can see a civil war. I can see western states leaving the union. The breakup of the United States is the goal of world oligarchy.

No Kings on Oct 18 is going to be the largest peaceful protest in American history. The only way to protect our freedom of speech is to exercise our freedom of speech. Get to planning in your community asap. nokings.org

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

Listen carefully to what Jimmy Kimmel said...

Authoritarians thrive when truth is hidden and voices are silenced. That’s why we fight back, organize, and speak out. If democracy dies in darkness, fascism thrives in it.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

“This country is rapidly moving toward an authoritarian form of society. In authoritarian countries—like Russia and Saudi Arabia—you do not have a media that is allowed to be critical of the government,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders, on how ABC paused Kimmel's show after the Trump FCC's threats.

Assassinating Charlie Kirk was wrong. So was the assassination of lawmaker Mellisa Horton. And the attempted assassination of Paul Pelosi. And Josh Shapiro. And Megan Whitmer. EVERY American deserves a president willing to say the same.

JB Pritzker: “Do you carry with you citizenship papers? How do you prove to somebody that you’re a US citizen? Your accent? The color or your skin? That’s not the country we live in. You shouldn’t have to walk around with papers the way they did in Nazi Germany”

Jesse Waters needs to be fired TODAY!

The MSM whitewashing of Kirk is in full swing. They talk about his advocacy for civil debate, but they won’t play anything he said to stoke incivility. They talk about his opposition to violence, but nobody talks about his role in J6. We are watching Kirk’s history being rewritten in real time.

💯

We keep saying "this is not who we are". But in my lifetime: JFK,MLK,RFK, attempt on George Wallace, Ford (2x),Reagan,Trump (2x). Natavist riots 1840s, draft riots 1863, the entire Civil War! Lincoln,Garfield,McKinley,attempt on FDR 1933,Huey Long 1935, and on. Sadly, it IS who we are.

You’d think after their cult leader tried to hang his own VP for not helping him steal an election, they’d be familiar with the notion of right on right crime. Yet it befuddles them to this day.

“We got him!” Really? That’s the line? His father turned him in. You received him.

Real things my middle schooler asked me today: 1. The middle school next door had ICE this week. Is my school next? I have friends who are undocumented. 2. Won't DC be the target if someone bombs us like they did on 9/11? 3. Why are people sadder about Charlie Kirk getting shot than kids? I hate it

The killing of any American for exercising their First Amendment rights is unacceptable. Full stop. It should never happen in this country.
