All headlines just from today 🇺🇸

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

I get why people recoil from the word. It’s ugly, it sounds extreme. But you know what’s uglier? Pretending this isn’t happening until it’s too late to stop it.

Cancelled my Disney+ sub last night. Specifically mentioning Kimmel/1st Amendment as the reasoning in the "other" section. America is an oligarchy, with the tech-bros and these morally bankrupt corporations ushering in authoritarianism for tax breaks and promises of crushing future labor disputes.

More and more Disney allies—including former CEO Michael Eisner—are calling on the company to take a stand on the Jimmy Kimmel crisis. www.avclub.com/andor-dan-gi...

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

I love getting spam emails about concert alerts, who can't even bother to tell you WHERE this dumbass show is happening. Fuck off. lol

Wrongfully terminated based on illegal interference from Trump/FCC, in an attempt to violate 1st Amendment rights for retribution reasons, not legal ones. Kimmel might have one of the strongest civil lawsuit cases imaginable on his hands. Iger should be pissing himself. bsky.app/profile/cweb...

Party of "freedom" is mirroring authoritarianism of the Soviets/Nazis, with a deranged and moronic cult leader at the head of it. America was warned for a decade that it could get this bad, and instead media stuck with hubris-led denialism in an attempt to cozy up to and court right-wing audiences.

The fact that nobody around him has told him this isn’t how numbers work shows you how afraid of him everyone who works for him is.

CNN isn't doing the American public a service when host Abby Phillips and guests have to debate a Republican-funded CNN "employee" like Scott Jennings on facts and reality. You've given up on educating viewers when Jennings is allowed to lie, misinform, and push propaganda on such a regular basis.

Spider is a more compelling character than Jake Sully, just how I see it. I don't know what it is about Sam Worthington, but between his weak American accent and wonky performance, it's hard not to get excited when anyone else is on screen in those AVATAR films.

79 people shot in Gaza over the weekend: There is no excuse for starving people and then opening fire on civilians desperately lining up for food. None. Congress must not give Netanyahu another penny of unconditional military aid.

Donald Trump says he’s happy Stephen Colbert’s show is being canceled: “His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next.” Now, on top of Colbert having the highest ratings as far as late night talk shows, this just shows that the canceling was not motivated by finances.

Not an overstatement at all

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Exclusive: Kerr County, where nearly 100 people were killed and more than 160 remain missing, had the technology to turn every cellphone in the area into a blaring alarm, but officials did not do so before or during the river level rising to record heights.

“Superman is too woke!” Literally the first page of the first ever appearance of Superman:

Mike Johnson just said if you are for reducing the deficit, this bill is for you. The bill adds 3-4 trillion dollars to the deficit. They just lie.

You're also looking at the Fox-ification of CNN; anchors like Tapper are there to give the illusion of fence-sitting or objective coverage. He's a longstanding Republican who is mostly fine with the Trump administration's fascist policies and culture war distractions. bsky.app/profile/samt...

If I were a hero I think I would probably not be happy to know that my name had replaced another guy’s entirely because the secretary of defense hates gay people

👇🏽Devastating Haaretz headlines, with IDF whistleblowers. Non-paywalled story: archive.ph/2025.06.27-2...

When you know you’re cutting health care for the poor, and transferring TRILLIONS from the bottom to the top, this is what you do:

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

Mark and Melissa lie peacefully at the center of our state and our hearts today. Their memorial, guarded by service dogs and men and women in uniform, casts a momentary shadow over L'Étoile du Nord as we honor their life’s work to make Minnesota shine brighter for all.

If Jeff Bezos can afford to rent Venice for a $50 million wedding, he can afford to pay his fair share in taxes.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

We have a rapist in the White House. This country has never cared about women or our pain.

I would not be entirely shocked if these ICE "agents" are really just the new version of Erik Prince's Blackwater PMCs, you know, mercenaries. Because these folks running around without ID, warrants, and masked up are most likely not real federal agents if they're dodging courts/due process.

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

#XMen #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy4 #Excalibur

American news anchors need to stop pretending to be Jon Stewart and John Oliver, start acting like adults in the room, not mimicking satirists. Public lost their attention spans because news outlets focused on moronic ratings-grabbing sports talk yelling matches rather than professional commentary

If that Padilla video alone doesn’t convince you to go out and protest this weekend, then I don’t know what to say, or what you stand for… #NoKings

@melissagiragrant.com on LA: "It’s nearly impossible to figure out what compliance is supposed to look like when police are launching weapons of war on the public. In such a gross imbalance of power, the police are the ones really drawing the lines."

Americans were sold a whole bunch of lies because that's how Trump operates. Said he would end wars...he hasn't even attempted to resolve either Ukraine or Gaza, now he's championing all-out war with Iran. While trying to eliminate U.S. courts. Trump, Bibi, and Putin are are pure fucking evil.

ICYMI — “LIE!!” Dems heckled Speaker Johnson as he tried to put all the blame on Senator Padilla

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

This is the page in the history book where future generations may ask, “Why didn’t more people speak up?" Don’t let this slide.

"How many generals and admirals have you fired?" Secretary of Defense (4 months into the job): “I don’t know”

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

the most violent group at these protests though... are... "law enforcement"

He's a UNICEF goodwill ambassador (not a joke). Thank GOD Trump got him out of America before he spread any goodwill.

Nobody should be visiting the United States; they're turning away and detaining tourists. Also, sorry to my American friends I can't stomach the idea of vacationing there when people are being sent to gulags by this cruel Nazi regime.
