This is some putrid stuff

We’re not dealing with the threat of authoritarianism anymore. We’re already there. 🚨 Trump floats stripping networks critical of him of their broadcast licenses — “They’re giving me all this bad press, and they’re getting a license” 1/4

*Carr ~said to Hannity that broadcasters are operating contrary to “public interest,” & thus could see licenses revoked, if they cover Trump in ways that Carr decrees are overly critical of him & thus illegitimate... Carr is exploiting this by defining “public interest” in an absurd & dangerous way.

They are allowed to do that. They are precisely allowed to do precisely that. Politicians from Left or Right who slobber after the power to suppress dissenting speech are—under our cherished Constitution—impotent.

Fuck you ABC! Cancelled Hulu and Disney+ !

I would have said “widespread deterioration of democratic norms” rather than “broad divisions”, but hey, can’t take sides right?

Exactly this

Given what’s happening in this country, everyone is going to be having hypertension alerts

We are officially fucking doomed

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Free speech is dead.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

No but seriously a fox news anchor just casually called for the killing of unhoused in one of the most stunningly mask-off nazi-esque eugenicist statements I've heard in a while and that is really fucking saying something. What in the literal fuck. bsky.app/profile/atru...

*looks directly at the camera*

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

"Buried in H.R. 500, the State Department Reauthorization Bill, is a quiet but consequential shift. This isn’t just a routine reauthorization—it’s a blueprint for PEPFAR’s transition and its deliberate wind-down." @jirairratevosian.bsky.social on what's next: ratevosian.substack.com/p/a-major-bi...

Online right-wing rhetoric began shifting last night from saying the left-wing must be destroyed because someone on the left supposedly killed Charlie Kirk to saying the left-wing must be destroyed because there were people on the left who celebrated his death. In case anyone was wondering.

My parents took me out of a country where this was the norm and where it led to the execution and imprisonment of millions of innocent people. They brought me here, to America, believing that it would not happen here. And yet here we are.

Turns out... throttling the storied Washington Post opinion section by the neck like this doesn't turn it into something new or exciting! It turns it into print newsmax. Or truth social with better kerning or something. This is dime-a-dozen stuff now -- who's asking for this?

The First Amendment protects our right to record ICE officers and law enforcement in public, whether Secretary Noem likes it or not.

BREAKING: Feds indict LGBTQ org lawyer for testimony in long-running Alabama "judge-shopping" investigation. In an indictment unsealed Monday, Lambda Legal counsel Carl Charles faces a felony charge of making a false declaration to the investigating judicial panel back in 2022. New, at Law Dork:

No surprise. RFK Jr wants to appoint people to #ACIP who want #COVID-19 vaccines taken off the market. Reminder that ACIP also sets which #vaccines insurers will pay for. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

Shut it down!

I can tell you, looking at the proposed plans, as someone who uses the exchange, this is going to be a cliff for many. They will forgo health insurance because they will not be able to afford it. Period.

Ezra Klein is calling for Democrats to put up a fight, to refuse to simply roll-over and play dead on a continuing resolution: "joining Republicans to fund this government is worse than failing at opposition. It’s complicity" with authoritarianism. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/o...

Thanks to @ddiamond.bsky.social for following up on this. We've all heard of people having trouble getting a COVID shot. #RFKJr just lies. He's making it difficult for people to get immunized--it's his goal--and he runs from it when confronted. Such a terrible human being.

This is abhorrent. America should not tolerate a president relishing in Pinochet-style rule over our own citizens.

Blowing up a boat that allegedly had drugs in it and killing alleged gang members in international waters without any due process is pretty clearly not legal. Vice President of 🇺🇸: “I don’t give a shit” A lawless regime.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states. This is completely unhinged.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

Nothing says, "Hey international companies, bring your manufacturing to the US" like arresting 475 workers at a Hyundai (70% of whom are South Korean).

The tolerance for lies is killing our country. Trump just called Chicago “the most dangerous city in the world, by far.” But its homicide rate isn’t even in the U.S. Top 20. Will major media call out the lie – and call it “a lie” – or will they talk about his “tenuous relationship with the truth”?

Don’t look away

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸

Pritzker: This is not about fighting crime. This is about the President and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.

mRNA vaccines prevented 20 million deaths from COVID. Without these vaccines the pandemic would have been even more devastating. These vaccines have an incredible safety profile w billions of doses administered globally. Know the facts, spot the disinformation www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

President Donald Trump said the troops are meant to crack down on crime in Washington D.C., and Ohio is one of six states that has so far sent troops. Toledo, Dayton, and Cleveland all had a higher crime rate than D.C. in 2024. via @ohiocapitaljournal.com

You do not have to like John Bolton to see this for what it is.

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.
