It seems to me an important aspect of the sidelining of Stephen Colbert by the pressures of this regime is not only to restrain his political views and criticisms, but also to silence one of the very few mass media personalities occasionally giving voice to actual Christian theology

Not the first head of state who "wrote a picture"

Justice Brown is accurate and correct.

Thinking about how the Pope is going to vote for President in 2028, same as I will, and my vote will count the same as the Pope’s. Yours will too. It’s so weird.

Where we’re at.

I don’t think a creepy molester of 78 needs to be in office. He can step down now.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocks Trump from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union rights. The White House tried to end collective bargaining for workers at numerous agencies by invoking national security. A U.S. District Judge just shot them down.

Oh, but you did.

you know things are bad when the tech magazines are putting this out

Me, too!

Where my patriots at?

Grow some spine, folks. Don’t let the Pud-Whacker-in-Chief step on people. Step on your souls.

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

Eugenicists are so stupid.

Aum Shinrikyo tactics used 30 years ago are being used today! I was in the Moonies in NYC and was brainwashed to believe Sun Myung Moon was sinless and the messiah. Please read and learn! asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/So...

When I ask people if they have heard of 7 Mountain Dominionism, most folks say, "No," There is a book coming out this September, but people need to understand this now! It is part of the battle plan to destroy the separation of church and state and publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/inside-tur...

Dean Chemerinsky and other #lawschool deans "speak as legal educators, responsible for training the next generation of lawyers, in condemning any government efforts to punish lawyers or their firms based on the identity of their clients or for their zealous lawful and ethical advocacy."

The felon-in-chief doesn’t read. And he doesn’t want you to, either.

Darrell Issa is a pud and you can quote me.

There are a bunch of articles like this, which argue that Trump is going after institutions because of their failures. The reality is Trump is going after institutions - bureaucracy, military, judges, lawyers, media - because he is an authoritarian who wants control. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/u...

How to shit in your own mess kits.

I am sitting here waiting for people to admit that DEI is necessary in order to not have fascism. DEI historically has helped secure workers rights. DEI created better healthcare for women and children. DEI helped to create more humane institutions. DEI created these social programs we all use.

It is expensive to be cruel. It is wasteful to destroy life-giving ecosystems. It is inefficient to slash programs that save money and lives in the long run.

I was/ am. You?

I have to say that having the rallying cry of anti-fascism in the US be «Do Your Job» feels weirdly fitting.

Yep.

Emma Ambroziak (Lewis & Clark College, BA 2025, ant) has a gift for storytelling; for telling the stories we need. She’s editor-in-chief of the college newspaper, and also has a @nextgenradio piece at OPB/NPR about a beautiful human named Charles Hyatt whom she met during a ride share. #npr #opb

Right now, the right is in the business of taking away rights.

I have no idea if it’s true that more Americans trust gas station sushi than legacy media, but gas station sushi is regulated by all kinds of health codes that these motherfuckers are currently trying to dismantle. So maybe shut the fuck up about sushi if you’re actively destroying the government.

Good. Fuckerz.

#4 is a defrocked Catholic priest. This is not autism; this is fascism.

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week? To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

Only caring about your own rights is a short road to losing them.
