American Friends: Ggl, Amzn etc have been open about what the gather and record via these devices. Get rid of them. Their CEO’s donate millions this administration. Think about “masked men wearing no ID grab, beat & steal ppl off the street” was utterly unimaginable last New Year’s Eve.

NEW VIDEO: Donald Trump knows what he is doing. Historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat shared with me a warning about Trump's next authoritarian moves and how we can fight back www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovor...

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

Secretary Pete “Agamemnon” Hegseth just did his own Netflix stand up special, ridiculing his red carpet and, well, I dunno but I’m really hoping that history repeats itself this one time.

@axios.com … WTAF with this headline?! You are WELL AWARE that too too many run with headlines-as-content and don’t actually read the content. I subscribed — literally — yesterday, and am unsubscribing today.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Today’s all-American headline.

BRILLIANT.

Americans have retained and pay for a massive law firm to handle whimsical presidential litigation. It used to be called the Dept of Justice.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Putin did not go to Alaska to see Trump. Putin knew who he was dealing with among admin officials in ‘16. Red or blue: these people were experienced. Putin went to Alaska to meet the clown car, not Trump; he needed to meet the TV personalities & sycophants. He met them, didn’t stay for lunch.

❗️Last night, unidentified drones were again spotted over several military sites in 🇩🇰Denmark, including Karup Air Base, where all of the country's military helicopters are located.

JD Pence has two mentors/financers: Peter Teal… & Curtis Yarvin. Remember the Jeremiah Wright/Barack Obama debacle? It seems fair to hold Vance’s feet to the fire, the government & corporate America generally do not hold the filthy rich to account: doing so would crush the aspirations of millions.

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube. It would be a shame for you to share it www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...

New argument against AI regulation just dropped. Checkmate, atheists. www.wsj.com/tech/peter-t...

Save. Go to Xitter. Share. Your PRESIDENT swore an OATH to uphold your Constitution but is publicly declaring intent to crush Free Speech for one of only two political parties. While that same party convinces followers that they’re in mortal danger — & they believe it. Truth: you ALL are.

Danish police said they saw several large drones — most likely piloted by a 'capable actor' — flying over Copenhagen airport on.ft.com/46wc9UG

What The Actual Fkkkkkkk Is This Clown Talking About (answer: he’s “read the crowd” and thinks this is what they want to hear)

This is the way.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

This doc, from 2001 and abt America military action in Southeast Asia and in Central America, has startling relevance to the domestic military action taken by U.S. govt against its own citizens today. “The Friendship Village”, dir by Michelle Mason. www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/...

i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.

…annnnnd SCENE. It’s not SO hard and — guess what! — your kids will survive (and so will you, even tho you’ll probs have to talk to them more)

Americans are no allowed to record law endorsement breaking the law. Gathering evidence of regime illegal activity is NOW ILLEGAL. ps. how can it be doxxing if no one knows who they are and no one can even verify if they’re ICE in the first place?

lol

This is why the Kimmel case matters. Nexstar needs the FCC to break the 39% rule. Their $6bn deal to merge with Tegna would give them 50%. And then they become the broadcast arm of the White House, in thanks for doing them a solid.

Estonia condemns 'brazen' airspace violation by Russian warplanes

wow banana peels in the coal mine Yes

The Nexstar/Tegna merger would give Nexstar more than 39%. They need the FCC to break the rule and allow them to have close to 50%. That’s how huge this is. They were waiting with their beer & bags of popcorn for Kimmel to come back from summer vacation and say something — ANYthing — that…

Your important read for today is:

Important

Sharing to save.

Goodbye, Disney+!

Is it possible that the purveyors of popular culture “will ignore the 50 percent or more of this country that want television, film and music that doesn’t feel like it was extruded directly from the president’s brain,” Michael Hirschorn writes.

Cancel your Disney subscription. And Paramount Plus. Your kids will survive. Unless you’re a parent who needs them to sit like zombies so that you don’t have to talk to them.
