How Do We Save Free Speech in America? open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Happy weekend everyone ☀️💕

One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.

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.

They’re not sending their best.

Churches are being given instructions to share this messaging from this administration. Unfortunately, I have family members caught up in this nonsense. They were told to attend two services (in one day) — one was stoking fear, the other was propaganda from Newsmax and this AI generated message.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

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.

this doesn't look like a normal distribution

@helenabfoulkes.bsky.social I just donated to your campaign today! #DemocraticWomenLead

I am deeply disappointed to see the passage of Trump’s big ugly bill. While too many RIers are already struggling to keep up with rising prices, this bill makes everything harder. It guts Medicaid and food assistance and will blow a bigger hole in our state budget. This is cruel and mean.

So the Neo-nazis then, Erika? The extreme right wing for whom your white nationalist husband wasn't extreme enough? I truly pray your innocent children grow up to be better humans than you and your husband.

Great news. Let's do this everywhere. www.krqe.com/news/politic...

Proud to join UFCW Local 7 Safeway workers on the picket line in Greeley! I stand with them in their fight for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions. #SafewayULPStrike

Why is Gabe Evans hellbent on preventing the release of the Epstein files? #CO08

NJ people--please mark your calendars for this important event! (Don't worry, I will remind you again.) With so many cuts to programs, the results will be more pernicious for women and children.

Or maybe rainbow? I'll take either.

🚨 NEW AD: 🚨 Trump’s job cuts are hitting Virginia hard — but on Friday, my opponent said she doesn’t think it’s a “real issue.” Virginians disagree.

@christinepelosi.bsky.social I’m proud to help your re-election campaign to the DNC! www.facebook.com/share/r/1GLR...

This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…

Love you Dr. Amy Acton! www.instagram.com/reel/DMvXgJI...

60 years ago today, the creation of Medicare and Medicaid transformed American healthcare — and, as a doctor, I've seen firsthand the difference these programs make. As governor, I’ll fight to protect these lifelines from attacks by politicians in Columbus and in Washington.

At least 60 million of his voters didn't really give a fuck about prices. They just wanted to watch immigrants get brutalized.

In a world of Columbia Universities and CBS/Paramounts, be a Southpark.

@sennmitchell.bsky.social I want you to know that I greatly appreciate you and feel that you have done great work. You are loved and I find you to be a great progressive Democrat. I hope you are able to receive the love and support you deserve and need.

If Trump wants to start renaming teams, why don’t we rename his party? A bit more accurate, don’t you think??

A proud praise for the @luzernecountydems.bsky.social and their current VP MaryAnn Velez!

The Luzerne County Democratic Party wishes a Happy National Donut Day to all those who celebrate!
