Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

It’s always fun when Vikings coaches are like “Will Reichard is an assassin, he’d slit your mother’s throat to get that dub” and then you see the guy and he looks like a side character from an American Pie sequel

Democrats must impeach FCC chair Brendan Carr over Jimmy Kimmel. Yes, we know Dems don't have the votes to actually impeach Carr. But they can use the threat of impeachment to fuel the narrative of how the GOP is coming for our freedoms. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/heres-why-...

I do think MAGA managed to make the Kirk assassination their 9/11 Not in the sense they wanted, but in the sense that they took their brief window of public sympathy and strip-mined it so totally that everyone hates them even more, now

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.

I have an imposter so please report @kevin-mkruse.bsky.social

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

When my grandpa died, the priest at his tiny parish in Clonmel, KS, used the funeral to speak his political truths to the largest crowd his church had seen in years. At one point in the eulogy, he went off on a rant about Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders teaching kids how to masturbate.

LET'S GET RRRRREAAAAADY TO DISSSSSSSEMMMMMBBLLE!

same. every time I see more coverage of this thing I’m like “Jesus Christ”

"And of course, we'll need your most solemn sparkler display. Ideally something that would pair well with the Village People?"

They don’t seem very sad that he died

Remember when Republicans spent years complaining about the fact that some people mentioned politics at Paul Wellstone's memorial service? nypost.com/2002/11/01/a...

I am far from the first to point it out but, man, Jesus would absolutely *hate* these fuckers.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

"Tasteless" does not even begin to describe what is happening here.

Stephen Miller speaking at Trump's rally has very familiar vibes.

Disney Plus? More like Disney MINUS considering how many people have unsubscribed this week (Holds for applause) But seriously

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

It's like they made a clone of Goebbels but somehow the volume got stuck on "screeching banshee"

While I was at the Eagles game I got to hear the high school kids behind me talking about their money line bets and 6-game parlays so that was fun.

You are welcome, Philly fans

Glad I’m here so I can tell the Eagles coaches about the recent invention of the forward pass

(Remembering the call sign deep behind enemy lines) “Go Birds”

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X

“Of course, you realize this is all blatantly illegal” “Sure, sure, but they weren’t nice to our cult leader!” “Uh … touché.”

At this point it's not that he doesn't get the fact that we're in an existential battle for the survival of American democracy. It's that he doesn't give a shit. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is Thomas Chatterton Williams's entire timeline right now.

If you needed more incentive to contact the advertisers on your local Sinclair station, let me remind you of this:

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Not just media execs. Congress is also divorced from what people want right now. Dem leaders are also subject to a propaganda and harassment campaign. Look at how many of them and their preferred pundits are still on Twitter. And the 3M+ NoKings protests didn’t register in their media sources.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov : Go fuck your craven careerist self and resign. Unacceptable collaboration with an undemocratic regime by failing to use all the tools in your toolbox to uphold the Constitution. At least STFU and stop torturing us with your drivel. —A constituent and political scientist

In private conversations in recent years, Trump has referenced the opening scene of the de Palma movie SCARFACE in discussing his claims that foreign governments are nowadays loading caravans and what not with criminally insane & violent people; no I’m not kidding

Credit where it’s due — the NYT has Bondi and Homan at the top

when they used to say "twitter isn't real life," what they meant was they thought progressive viewpoints were overrepresented there.

From publicly demanding that Pam Bondi go after his political enemies to the reported decision to close a Tom Homan bribery case, the Justice Department is basically Donald Trump's personal law firm now.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

Mix in a “racism over,” and you’ve got a very cool highest court in the land right there

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

Half my fantasy football league has canceled their Disney+ accounts. Feels like this one has gone mainstream pretty noticeably

Worse, I’m betting that none of this will be the focus of Sunday morning’s news programming. I’m betting that Kirk & Buckingham Palace, with a side of Jimmy Kimmel will dominate the shows.

The road to authoritarianism is paved with cynicism

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

Tatiana Maslany posted an image on Instagram “with text overlaid that says “cancel your @disneyplus @hulu @espn subscriptions!” Marisa Tomei, who played Aunt May in Spider-Man movies distributed by Sony & Avengers movies from Disney, reposted a call to “unsubscribe and boycott” Disney platforms.”

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

The editors on that planned Sinclair documentary got through about 10 minutes of this sort of footage and went, ummm.

The Watergate tapes were secret and the media knows it’s only a crime if the president is smart enough to keep it a secret.

Death cult behavior
