When college kids publicly say "Israel's war on Gaza is bad" that is full-blown anti-Semitism that requires the federal government to crack down on all colleges. When Young Republicans in their 20s and 30s privately praise Hitler and "joke" about the Holocaust, well, that's just freedom baby.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

Jasmine Crockett is asking why people who are not getting paid because of the shutdown should show up for work when the Republican Congress members, who ARE getting paid, are NOT showing up to work! Damn good question.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found. At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Chris Murphy and I also discussed the need for more Democrats to say loudly and clearly, right now, that many Trump accomplices may be carrying out illegal orders, and if so they should prepare to face consequences later. Murphy offers a good way to do this here. 6/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Folks Wait a few days before declaring victory on Disney.

Cancelled Disney/Hulu, no problem with that. But I just realized I won't see Abbott Elementary! Sorry to all of you on that show, you deserve a better platform

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".

Free idea that literally every Democrat in Congress could and should get behind today: Impeach Brendan Carr.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

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.

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.

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

Disney has Tron: Ares, Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, Rental Family, Zootopia 2, Ella McCay, Avatar: Fire and Ash, and Is This Thing On? opening this year. I hope the talent involved in these movies curtails all planned publicity until the company reverses its decision about Kimmel.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

Yeah, if you're in the media and someone insists that "they" were celebrating his murder and therefore "they" have to suffer some sort of retribution, you have an obligation to ask who "they" are and what, specifically, they did to celebrate this. You can't just let them throw that gas on the fire.

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

What centrist libs can't seem to internalize is that the US contains a large, longstanding, well-funded political movement that *wants political violence and authoritarianism*. It does not need to be provoked in any way in order to pursue those goals.

We sternly warn the left not to politicize the tragedy caused by our politics.

Please stop pointing out the shooter was from a White Conservative Christian law enforcement family and that he was raised in gun culture. It’s probably just a coincidence like so many of the other ones just like him.

Reminder that this is what Don Jr posted.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

You’re just not allowed to do journalism if it displeases MAGA

I would like it to be noted that every Democrat on Twitter, from Gavin Newsom to Jon Favreau is condemning the shooting of Charlie Kirk, but not a single Republican condemned the assassination of Democratic MN State Rep Melissa Hortman.

TIP FOR CONSERVATIVES: If you are bereft over the gun shooting of Charlie Kirk, just pretend he was a kid in an elementary school, and you will forget about the whole thing within a minute.

We have the brain processing power to be breathing right now

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

See? This is a good political response to what happened (if you must). Acknowledge, but make sure you get in something about how the right is constantly fomenting violence.

A must read. Not only did the conservative justices decide it’s OK to arrest people just because of the color of their skin or language, but Kavanaugh also twists facts about these arrests beyond recognition. This is SCOTUS’s deliberate contribution to the white supremacy project we are witnessing.

i think every democrat who does a cable news hit should start calling trump the pedophile president

Take off that Cavalry hat, you draft dodger. You didn’t earn the right to wear it. Stolen valor at its worst.

Don’t say “Dems aren’t doing anything.” There’s just little attention to the courage of these Missouri Dems resisting the extreme gerrymandering of Republicans desigmed to increase Republican numbers in the House. www.kfvs12.com/2025/09/05/m...

🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA: Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today. I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

And I would never want to get between Ted and a trip to Cancun when there’s an emergency in Texas
