Not enough people are paying attention to a major target for Brendan Carr and the Trump admin’s crackdown on free speech: social media. It’s under bipartisan attack, even though it’s a crucial forum for reaching the public and fighting back. spitfirenews.com/p/is-anyone-...

I'm the last category, so if you like this piece, share it please!

insane that people are getting in trouble for just quoting Charlie Kirk point blank. many of these people are not even expressing support for what happened to him, just quoting him & questioning double standards in how we respond to violence. we live in a far-right culture

"it does not matter that they are hypocrites. The hypocrisy is a fun little part of it for them. Look at what we can do lol. You will never win a debate against them with logic. You will never appeal to their empathy." —@lukeoneil47.bsky.social www.welcometohellworld.com/the-whole-pl...

A memorial for Charlie Kirk without even one picture of him. 🥴

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

During WWII, the US Army was Antifa.

Thank you, British Resistance!

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

I’ve been reporting on influencers for more than seven years now and today I had an academic decline to do an interview about them for the first time out of fear of government retaliation.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

I never had the opportunity to talk to Robert Redford. But I did talk to some of the folks who shared the screen with him when he made a cameo on DARK WINDS, which turned out to be his final screen appearance. The respect everyone had for him ran so, so deep. www.vulture.com/article/dark...

HOSTAGE GOOD! boxd.it/b5RlYl

right now, we have no clue how many people ice has kidnapped in chicagoland under "operation midway blitz." masked feds are snatching people from their cars, from gas stations, from sidewalks. loved ones don't hear anything—sometimes for days. this is what it means to "disappear" people.

Today Raven Geary of @unraveledpress.com reports on the spate of kidnappings and violence against immigrants in the Chicago area over the past week or so including a man who was shot to death by ICE on Friday. www.welcometohellworld.com/theyre-kidna...

I dipped onto Facebook last night, and a lot of people I grew up with/around are mourning Charlie Kirk as though he were Mister Rogers. I knew people had a strong attachment to him; it is utterly baffling to me that it was of the "He made me aspire to be a better person" variety.
