@scalehelix.net is there a reason we shouldn’t root for Trump’s lawsuit against the times?

I love bluesky, where we get mad at the dems for opposing secret police

this needs to be corrected, but also it shows just how shallow mainstream reporting can be on free speech, supposedly a foundational constitutional right in this country.

@mtsw.bsky.social I can guess why

Ross Douthat: The Trump Administration Is Violating the First Amendment The Right Way

Very funny that “sue the administration” is not an option

To be clear, she wanted to "end DOJ weaponization" because she felt like she was targeted for being at J6

saying aoc should eat hakeem jeffries is the one sentence you cannot post on bsky. its okay for me to say because im letting you know you can't post it

During the 1930s and 40s the punditocracy would throw out shit like "we need a world federation governed by an aerial world congress of the SKIES" and now they can't even imagine reforming the Supreme Court or Renovating the Palace of Westminster

Calling up your workplace to tell them that you’re a great person and an even better poster. I’m even including some examples of the posts you’ve written that made me laugh out loud.

Mods? Mods!

Fuck the Trump voter. And fuck anybody who wants listen to that chode.

can’t fault her for not putting skin in the game

Another day, another Ezra Klein piece about how you need to be nicer to republicans.

Chuck Schumer won’t endorse his party’s own mayoral candidate for his own city because Mamdani is a brown muslim who refuses to be a mouthpiece for Israel but Schumer will also do nothing to stop a national day of remembrance for a nazi who is on the record for recycling blood libel against the Jews

…wow, nothing on Kimmel, amazing

Who is this for

Fascinating that Times had a dozen Kirk op eds ready to roll but none on Trump suing them or firing Kimmel 😅

Schumer should write to his senator instead of posting that the Supreme Court should save us

All this is happening specifically because Fox was allowed to do what it does for as long as it has

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.

I guess I just fundamentally don't think debating podcasters is inherently virtuous or useful, y'know? Like, it's fine, it's certainly no worse for society than being a drug smuggler or a University president or running a hedge fund, but I don't think it's an activity worthy of respect and praise.

Socrates was a traitor who supported a spartan puppet regime so this is hilariously on point

They think you’re stupid

i mean there's only like 200 of them they're as valuable a voting block as coal miners

I‘m really starting to think this isn’t a liberal/conservative thing but a class thing. The NYT and associated elites see their unearned privileges threatened and figure the fascists are their best chance to stay on top.

Catherine thinks democrats sent people to jail for hate speech. Be smarter than Catherine.

Lmao

excited to get my head bashed in by an ICE guy Chuck Schumer helpfully funded. :)

All is lost, democracy is finished. Subscribe to my newsletter I guess?

I don’t think Harris would have imposed a 50% tariff on Brazil to be honest

It’s funny that if you read bluesky the Koreans are going to stand up to Trump and that is not what this story says.

Sally, as your publicist I am telling you to never stop posting

An Atlantic author reminiscing fondly about a man who wanted gays in camps is yet another reason not to read it btw

it's because they support the anti-trans pogrom (it is very easy for them to do the smallest thing to prove me wrong)

Wait was Jeet wrong again? Unpossible

@scalehelix.net wait does she not think there are white reporters at the times?

Ukraine flag praising this mad is amazing.

Any outlet that platforms a douche like Chatterton Williams, deserves none of your attention or dollars.

Good idea Matt. Maybe an inflation reduction act?

Seeing one of those maps by a leftist screaming about the army bases in China is like seeing the last dodo

the more you hate the media, the more correct you are about their behavior

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

I don’t want to be that guy, but given doubts they’d go to war for Taiwan in what way is Korea an ally?

Mods? Mods!

This is because the media likes Charlie Kirk and thinks these kids are peasants to be ignored.

this feels like a pretty quintessential example of a liberal being someone afraid to take their own side in a fight

@lowrhoufo.bsky.social guess someone got feedback
