Time to boycott watching any stations owned by Nexstar and Sinclair for continuing to put loyalty to Donald Trump above democracy and freedom of speech.

Note to the media: please consult this every time the right wing babbles about “Antifa,” claiming it’s some kind of violent leftist guerilla organization.

Sorry,I must’ve missed this part of the story, but what was the evidence presented to back up the Republican claim that Kirk’s death was the result of a conspiracy by American leftists? It must have been extensive for them to keep saying it.

Republicans continue to "make America great again" (not).

Surprised Trump has not yet renamed the Kennedy Center the Trump Center.

Former US Rep Joe Kennedy, III on Boston Public Radio (GBH) today about his work in poor Mississippi communities His message that even in the reddest states people will respond favorably if you take the time to listen to them can be hugely helpful to Democrats as they look for a path forward.

‪I think one of the secrets to getting rid of the Trump fascist regime is to remind the public that as much as Trump and his fellow oligarchs want us to think otherwise, this is NOT their country. As Woody Guthrie said, "This land is your land, this land is my land." Republicans don't own America!

Walking through Boston Common, I came upon this quote from 19th century abolitionist Wendell Phillips, above a statue of him. Seems relevant to these times: “Whether in chains or in laurels liberty knows nothing but victories,”

Another question for Republicans: If Trump is so right about everything, and if he’s such a strong, courageous leader, why the need to silence any criticism of him? I mean, seriously, how can you worship a guy and then feel he is too weak to handle any disagreements?

Really time to step up the use of boycotts as a tool of the resistance. No more watching Disney, ABC, CBS; no more reading the Washington Post or the LA Times; no more posting on X or Facebook. Enough is enough. We need to get serious about this and truly fight back.

My question of the day for our Republican friends: Are you comfortable living in a country whose president threatens to revoke the broadcasting license of a network if one of its talk show hosts criticizes him? Please answer “yes” or “no.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Would be interested in hearing from historians if there is any precedent in other countries of major media companies capitulating to an authoritarian ruler and surrendering their press freedoms as we are now seeing in the US under Trump. I mean the scope of self-censorship here is truly stunning.

Truly curious about how Republicans reconcile their professed love of America with the wrecking ball they are swinging at our democracy, our personal freedoms, our constitution, our diversity, all the things people have long admired about the US. What the hell are these people patriotic about?

Another infuriating NYT headline. Utah governor gave no evidence that Robinson had a "leftist ideology" other than saying his partner is in transition. But the headline reports his statement as fact. Kirk Shooting Suspect Held ‘Leftist Ideology,’ Utah Governor Says www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/u...

Terrific post.

Still waiting for President Trump to announce he is presenting a Congressional Medal of Freedom to the late Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman, who along with her husband was murdered by a Trump supporter last June.

New poll results underwhelming for MA Gov. Maura Healey. Maybe because Healey, despite being a Democrat, campaigned and governs like a moderate Republican. MA could use a true progressive in its corner office. commonwealthbeacon.org/by-the-numbe...

Still awaiting an explanation for what Charlie Kirk is being stewarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom. In what way did he promote freedom?

Trump riles up yet another country. He is the human equivalent of a poisonous mushroom.

Thank you senator, for these fighting remarks. We've had enough of Democrats kowtowing to Republican efforts to portray extremists as freedom fighters.

Republicans are shocked, shocked, that there is political violence in America.

Belatedly reading @maryltrump.bsky.social fine book, "Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World's Most Dangerous Man." Though published in 2020, I am finding the deep insights she offers into the roots of Trump's mental disorder really helpful in understanding the moment we're in.

Question I am hoping the press will ask Trump. "Mr. President, what was the 'wonderful secret' that you shared with your friend, Jeffrey Epstein?"
