This is how it's done. 😳👇

“It’s evocative of what we’ve seen throughout history. In 1939, Dr. Goebbels, at Hitler’s instruction, removed five comedians, or witticists as they were called at the time, from the airways in Germany and for criticizing or making fun of the government in a satire way" bsky.app/profile/apet...

In 2022, FCC's Carr called political satire “one of the oldest and most important forms of free speech” because it “challenges those in power.” In 2023 he called government censorship “the authoritarian’s dream.” Today? He is just another small man on his knees to Trump. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

"They're not allowed to do that." Mashed potato. It keeps reminding him of mashed potato. h/t to American psychologist Mary L.Trump bsky.app/profile/adam...

Confirmation from Axios. This is unacceptable lack of fight from Senate Democrats. It passed via unanimous consent, and any Senate Democrat could have objected.

So just to be clear, we all haven't forgotten that the current President whipped up a mob and tried to have them murder his political enemies at the Capitol, right?

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

I think this is like the 30th time I've shared this, this week. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Committ...

So let me get this straight. Stephen Colbert cancelled after criticising the sweetheart deal with the regime Jimmy Kimmel cancelled after criticising MAGA but Brian Kilmeade calls for the killing of homeless people and that’s just fine?

At least it looks suitably kitsch but, seriously, wtf? "It’s all being done in public view and it's making the president a lot of money — hundreds of millions in fees while he’s in office and billions on paper for the future." This is a big finger to everyone. www.indiatoday.in/world/us-new...

Bob Woodward, the journalist played by Robert Redford in the 1976 film All the President’s Men, has paid tribute to the actor who died on Tuesday, saying he was “a noble and principled force for good...”

RFK Jr. ordered staff to rubber stamp immunization policies regardless of evidence. Make no mistake: Americans will die needlessly if this is how RFK runs HHS. He must resign.

JD Vance guest hosted Kirk's podcast Monday. "It’s stupid and beneath the Office of the Vice President to go on a podcast and encourage Americans to rat each other out over mean tweets." "You’re becoming the people we used to ridicule." Yep. www.rawstory.com/maga-hate-sp...

Here’s the study on domestic terror that the DOJ deleted from government records. It proves the VP is a liar of epic proportions.

Shameful. "While AI is inevitable, it still cannot replace the creative instincts resident in the human mind," the Welles estate continued. "... a purely mechanical exercise without any of the uniquely innovative thinking or a creative force like Welles." futurism.com/orson-welles...

"From the filmmakers’ labs to its marquee Sundance Film Festival, the Redford-founded Sundance Institute has helped launch hundreds of careers..

Robert Redford on Trump: “Instead of a moral compass in the Oval Office, there’s a moral vacuum. Instead of a president who says we’re all in it together, we have a president who’s in it for himself. Instead of words that uplift and unite, we hear words that inflame and divide.”

H/t to ‪David Blanchflower BSc‬ @davidbflower.bsky.social or I would have missed this!

If it is possible to love America in 2025, it is because of the work, life, example, legacy of people like Bob Redford. In any just nation we would lower the flags at half mast for this man. And mourn the scabrous brutal erosion of the ideals to which he devoted his life.

Good question, fellow Aussie. Try answering it, creep. "In my opinion, you are hurting Australia very much right now, and they want to get along with me.” “You know your leader is coming over to see me very soon. I’m going to tell them about you." “Quiet!” www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

JD Vance & Steven Miller have accused liberal political groups of being terrorists and are threatening to "destroy these networks" using "every resource we have." Since there are no liberal NGOs operating as terrorist organizations, assume they're talking about YOU www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Quid pro quo And if Volodymyr Zelenskyy had given him a plane??? A different tune on Ukraine? And, precisely, who is paying for Trump's new $200 million ballroom for Mar-a-Lago (North), formerly the White House? And what are they getting in return? www.newsweek.com/trump-just-t...

If you need any more proof that Charlie Kirk WAS like a son to Donald Trump, Trump went golfing during the Memorial Service for Charlie Kirk.

Robert Redford #RIP "I believe in mythology. I guess I share Joseph Campbell's notion that a culture or society without mythology would die, and we're close to that." Robert Redford

"Nice people made the best Nazis. My mom grew up next to them. They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.” They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away." Naomi Shulman

Anyone proposing that an official be allowed to revoke the passport of a citizen for criticizing *this* country would be rightly regarded as batshit insane and deeply hostile to this country's laws and traditions. Proposing that they can do that if we criticize some *other* country? Fuck. That.

Individuals are being targeted on hit lists for their opinions. Private companies are being coerced into monitoring employee social media. They are weaponizing Charlie Kirk to curtail your free speech rights.

"When I first started, I thought that if I took enough frames, I’d get a good picture. Photographs are taken with the brain, the camera records it, but it’s a meta-physical process because what happens in an image is beyond what you see..." Terence Donovan #botd

This regime is determined to make all our friends and allies turn away from us.

Well done Brazil! Donald Trump, of course, no longer faces federal criminal charges for attempting to fraudulently overturn the 2020 presidential election. Instead, he is busy renovating his Mar-a- Largo (North), formerly the people's White House. Certainly beats prison. bsky.app/profile/star...

As always, Adam way out ahead on this one

Fox News' Brian Kilmeade, advocating for the murder of homeless people. 😳👇

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

After Donald Trump blamed the left for Charlie Kirk’s murder because they likened him and his cohorts to Nazis MAGA tried to create a myth that Kirk was some Christ like martyr Well, here’s Stephen Miller destroying that myth while making both Kirk and himself seem like Nazis Be careful, friends

The problem is, they might be held accountable in lower courts, but the Supreme Court doesn't seem to care

Posting this because we need to keep reminding the world, as many times as we can, where Tyler Robinson came from, they blamed us before we all knew the facts. If Tyler was a leftist radial they would be calling for civil war, now that he is one of them they are praying for his "lost" soul.

Trump announced a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom for Kirk during a memorial for 9/11 victims. Following his tribute to Kirk, Trump only then shifted his remarks to 9/11 victims🙏 at their memorial. Disrespectful. What next? A State funeral for Kirk? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well done Brazil 👏 (take notes, USA)

"Kirk said and did many despicable things, but he did not deserve to die. Now his death is being used by the right to call for the persecution of practically anyone to Kirk’s left." “The left is the party of murder” X owner Elon Musk Predictable. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"Every politician and public figure should be trying to turn down the temperature at this moment. Instead, we're seeing leaders and influencers raise it. That won't lead us toward safety. It will lead us further into the spiral." Trump? It's an opp to milk. www.newsweek.com/maga-charlie...

Mike Johnson on Friday: Trump was an FBI informant against Jeffrey Epstein. Mike Johnson yesterday: "I don't know if I used the right terminology."

Donald Trump decried The Wall Street Journal's report of a letter he wrote to Jeffrey Epstein as "malicious and defamatory"—conceding that, were it real, it would be pretty bad. "Guess what? It's real. And it's bad," @jonathanchait argues. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
