Having millions of people who categorically do not understand the concept of "it's a bit" suddenly exposed to GWAR is pretty magical

Frank Zappa (RIP) predicted Project 2025 back in 1986. While pearl-clutching conservatives ranted that his lyrics were “America’s biggest threat,” Zappa warned: “the biggest threat is moving America toward a fascist theocracy.” That’s no longer a warning. That’s Trump’s America.

A white man killed a white man. No "them." A 22-year-old white man, Tyler Robinson, mostly apolitical, allegedly killed Kirk because Kirk's homophobic comments radicalized him. Robinson came from a gun-loving, conservative, Trump voting family. "One of us," as Republican Gov Cox said.

Here's what Saint Charlie said about Crockett a few months before he died. www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

I hate that you can’t explain current political events in the USA without sounding like you’ve completely lost it: “the billionaire’s group chat is panicked about whether the admin is taking AI superintelligence seriously enough because of drastic action it took based on an eigenrobot tweet” — what?

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

One of the joys of being old is looking in the mirror and discovering you have a six inch long hair growing out of the top of your ear.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

One person familiar with the federal investigation told NBC News “thus far, there is no evidence connecting the suspect with any left-wing groups…Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive.”

"Tariff whiplash is hurting small businesses — and it’s only getting worse" share.google/i0NYkwJbrv6E...

At $100,000 per H1B visa, Amazon alone will end up paying $1 Billion. Or, more likely, laying off most of their international staff. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-h...

There is no statute of limitations for murder. All of the people in this chain of command are in their 50s, 40s, 30s. That's a lot of future decades to gamble on how long there will be no political will to revisit this.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

ThE MIlitaRY wiLL IgNOrE IleGal OrdERs like murdering people in boats in international waters and with no enunciated legal authority. Oh. And making fascist snuff porn. Imperial boomerang on this one gonna be bad. Moreover we must destroy ICE & smash fascism.

Extrajudicial killing is a practice of dictators.

Absolute full court press against the first amendment.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

New logo for Disney:

This is so messed up.

Don't want to say I called it, but... you know... sometimes I know what I'm talking about. www.techdirt.com/2024/11/27/b...

The right is trying to act like Kimmel overstepped some line with this shit? bsky.app/profile/yash...

Fuck Brendan Carr Fuck the FCC Fuck Nexstar Fuck ABC Fuck Charlie Kirk Fuck Erica Kirk Fuck Turning Point Fuck JD Vance Fuck Stephen Miller And fuck that thin-skinned little bitch Donald Trump

Just canceled Disney and left this comment when they wanted to know why: "You pulled Kimmel off the air, fuck you, you weak ass fascist enablers."

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

Every day, I continue to be astounded at the casualness with which people can dismiss 50 years of evidence that sports venues are bad public investments by simply asserting, "but this one is different!" People will abandon their religion before they give up on a beloved stadium project.

fr nobody getting fired from their job right now has desecrated the corpse of Kirk more than those who knew him

ZERO

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

On the plus side, a bunch of people on the left who have not yet grasped it are about to viscerally understand why some of us, despite despising bigots to our very core, keep insisting that allowing the government to prosecute "hate speech" would be a bad idea.

I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.

BREAKING: The Charlie's Murderers doxxing website was just hacked and has been taken offline. I spoke to the hacker on the condition of anonymity. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-e...

One of the reasons the right is convinced that violence is only directed at them is their ability to ignore and forget all the acts of violence committed against the other side of the aisle. Ask Trump about the firebombing of Shapiro's home or the plot to kidnap Whitmer and I guarantee he'd whiff.

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly." They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.

idk if you've seen this south korean editorial that ran a few days ago. google translate version scorched my eyebrows www.hani.co.kr/arti/opinion...

I see a LOT more murders committed by politically motivated right-wing killers.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

Last September Charlie Kirk claimed that Haitian immigrants in Huntsville were "raping your women and hunting you down at night." He said that rural Alabamians faced a future in which Haitian immigrants "will become your masters." www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

A lot of people are talking about the fact that Kilmeade won't be punished and you're all right but that's bc the left doesn't have the means to mob Fox and make them worry. Unless we start tagging their advertisers.

There’s little value in pointing out the hypocrisy of the right’s paeans to how calling for violence against people is dangerous and evil compared to this. But it absolutely proves that the commentariat definition of “political violence” is limited to “violence that could be directed at them”.

As prophesied by Kyle Wagner almost 11 years ago: deadspin.com/the-future-o...

As a colleague mentioned yesterday, Gamergate is one of the five most significant developments in US politics since the Cold War

This is unhinged, dangerous, and reckless. At this point I don't know how you conclude anything other than that Musk is trying to foment pogroms against immigrants across the west.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

He was in the electrical apprentice program for the last 3 years at Dixie Technical College in Utah. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
