While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

It looks like Trump's hand picked Supreme Court isn't going to stop him from rescinding money that Congress already agreed to use. How can Democrats agree to a Republican budget that lets Trump delete the parts of it he doesn't like?

I guess Trump and RFK Jr weren’t happy with the studies that said sperm from older men significantly raises the risk of autism.

Take a bow, America. Pressure & collective outrage made Sinclair flinch. After promising the regime, it would air a "special remembrance of Charlie Kirk," on Friday in Kimmel's timeslot they canceled it & ran ABC programming. Putting it online instead. Be relentless www.theblaze.com/news/sinclai...

The fact that these people are this upset over chalk drawings tells you how easily they’ll cave when faced with actual mass resistance. Bullies fold when you stand up to them. www.arlnow.com/2025/09/19/c...

The person being quoted is shitty but he is not wrong; I did not work in tv for 45 years, but I’ve worked news/mag advertising and/or digital marketing for 25 or so - and if you want to grab a media company’s attention by the short hairs, yes: bitch to their advertisers, not their inboxes.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

NEW: If Republicans won’t conduct oversight of Trump’s unconstitutional and cruel immigration policies that kidnap and disappear immigrants of all statuses, I will. Today’s Shadow Hearing will focus on how his actions are destroying U.S. families and communities.

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

Just a reminder: they were never actually against cancel culture. They were against the cancellation of people they agree with or like. They’ve always been enthusiastically in favor cancelling people they don’t like. If you took them at their word you’re a useful idiot.

It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

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.

Whether it's Joe Biden condemning the killing of Charlie Kirk in 2025 or Charlie Kirk calling for the killing of Joe Biden in 2024, both men have issued strong words about the other's killing.

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

If all you know about John Fugelsang is his comedy, you should also know his background and education make him something of an expert on religion. He didn't make this challenge lightly, and my guess is it hasn't been, and won't be, met successfully anytime soon.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

“Every political movement in history, including the most bloodthirsty, has condemned political violence by its opponents. The only real test is whether you also oppose political violence by your allies. This is a test Trump has repeatedly failed.”

Guys, I know you all still cling to conspiracy theories about Merrick Garland bc ... well, you watch too many TV lawyers who knew fuckall about the investigation. But this is a fact. A trial was scheduled to happen 3 years after Jan6, just like Bolsonaro got. Who killed it? John Roberts.

From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

My main observation from the last few hours of monitoring US social media is that Democrats are universally denouncing political violence and calling for calm while MAGA are escalating language and openly lusting for retribution against broad categories of people they identity as their enemies.

Trump is a sadist: Example Number 1,256,833

The agricultural states can become solar energy powerhouses while increasing crop yield.

the real glory of world war two was that it involved a warrior cult being ground down and beaten to a pulp by people who would rather have been doing something else.

This tactic - pressuring corporations financially until they put a regime friendly voice in charge - is exactly how Orbán took over the free press in Hungary

Pediatric Brain Cancer Group to Lose Federal Funding. A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.

WSJ: ChatGPT fueled a 56-year-old tech industry veteran’s paranoia, encouraging his suspicions that his mother was plotting against him.... On Aug. 5, Greenwich police discovered that Soelberg killed his mother and himself in the $2.7 million Dutch colonial-style home where they lived together.

CDC employees standing up and walking out in light of the mass shootings, firings, and *waves hands in the air* everything else. #USAnotRFK Lets gooooo

they do, but this also illustrates how SOCIAL APPROVAL IS THE PRIMARY PERSUASIVE MECHANISM FOR MOST PEOPLE most people choose their opinions by seeking out ideas they believe will garner acceptance/approval from their peers, which requires analysis not of data or experience but of social consensus

Pritzker! Meaningful leadership for Dems --

"When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come." Timothy Snyder is an expert in authoritarian takeovers. Blending our uniformed services with right-wing militia & vigilantes should terrify all of us.

The precise moment when and where in recent weeks America crossed that invisible line from democracy into authoritarianism can and will be debated by future historians, but it’s clear that the line itself has been crossed. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-ti...

Bolts has a monthly preview of the major elections in the upcoming month, for people to know and engage—this was on it! people would have known this a month ago: this is what we do! See: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the... September one coming out very soon, follow @boltsmag.org to be sure to see it.

Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

Hakeem Jeffries, standing in front of a wall: “These so-called ‘military death squads’ and ‘Trump Tribunals’ are just a distraction from <BANG BANG BANG>

jeffried studiously avoids all of the verboten words and yet still sounds like a management consultant.

Congrats to...the Wall Street Editorial Board?...ok...for labeling this for what it is: "Where this goes is hard to know, but it’s an ominous turn in political lawfare. This is nasty business." If the WSJ Editorial Board can do this, so can other media. www.wsj.com/opinion/bill...

Let them know you're filming them and keep asking the key questions: "Do you have a warrant signed by a judge? Show me." "Do you have a badge? Show me." "Do you know how pathetic you are? You showed me."

MAGA, at its core, is a cult of abuse. The right to abuse, the justification for abuse, the dopamine rush they get from abusing others, is built into every policy, every program, every line of rhetoric. They identify with abusers because they want to abuse people.

I love Terry Gross she is a top ten person

Always have been curious why there was no investigation into the criminality of this daylight robbery of the nation's money.

Fox News hosts saying Gavin Newsom’s tweets are childish and unbecoming of the governor of the state of California shows that you can lead a horse to water but the joke will still go over their heads.

It really bothers me that we're not talking about how the GOP cut DC's funding before invading.

Right. You move the ball in the politics of the Supreme Court by calling out its flagrant corruption every time you talk about it by reshaping what people take as a reasonable thing to say & think about it. Repetition makes reality in things like this
