Can you think of a single movie in which there is a video from the government denouncing its political opponents playing on a loop in public spaces in which that government was the good guy?

Seems like Dan Bongino will be making his next public appearance on a milk carton or in the obituaries. He wasn’t on my bingo card for “political appointee with the most integrity” but here we are.

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

"We took freedom of speech away" should be in every campaign ad moving forward.

If Dems win in 2026, we need hearings to publicize the abuses by federal law enforcement. Then pass a bill creating a path to sue for those abuses. Trump will veto it. Let him. Let the public see these videos & hear from victims, & then learn there's no way to hold the abusive officers accountable.

Every Trump speech now produces approximately two dozen 30-second clips peppering the feed that each alone should trigger impeachment or 25th amendment proceedings and are indistinguishable from what your worst uncle would produce if he had any idea how to make ai-generated videos

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Every accusation from them is a confession. There is a large network of paid for conservative fascists like him, you can see it in the trolls on the internet just for one thing. It's a confession, he's describing MAGA.

I’m sure people wrote the same nasty things about Eva Braun. They were wrong then and they are probably wrong now.

The promise and the horror of the Internet in just a few characters.

does it end well for societies to elect a deranged, unaccountable, corrupt grifter to the nation's highest office, I don't know much about history or life

We are going to have to de-Baathify the US government. I’m indifferent to most outcomes between never allowing current ICE members to work in any public sector job again and putting them in fishing boats for “military training”.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money. Let that sink in

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Question: If a POTUS was actually a Russian asset with the specific intent of destroying the military power, market strength, social unity, economic hegemony & global influence of the United States from within, what would that person do DIFFERENTLY than what that asshole is doing right now?

I'm not surprised by the lengths they are willing to go to stop us from seeing the Epstein Files. Just look at how far they were willing to go to stop us from ever hearing from Jeffrey Epstein again.

Maybe Trump is just the Judas goat of fraudsters? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judas_g...

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything as much as ICE loves violently attacking women.

Stop being a fucking nazi, JD, and we will

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

Precisely. 👇 Money buys you political power when you have rule of law. Once rule of law goes, then the people with the guns have the power. And all your money just makes you a target for the dictator and his psycho goons. As Russian oligarchs and Chinese billionaires discovered to their cost.

If antifa was actually a terrorist organization, you would see it in the targets. They would start with the authors and enactors of Project 2025. Charlie Kirk was just another white guy who exercised his free speech by saying vile things - a dime a dozen.

What started with pardoning war criminals is now authorizing war crimes and I don't think it ends with that.

I would call this “consciousness of guilt” in an eventual domestic trial or international war crimes tribunal.

Guys you really can just spit in their faces. 99% of the time nothing will happen. They’re relying on you being too afraid to do so. Call their bluff. And sign up for the stupid email lists.

I'm old enough to remember when the military tried to avoid recruiting open white supremacists.

The entire legislative branch GOP members should all have been removed and imprisoned for their role in the insurrection, almost every single one of them was complicit in it. Letting them all get away with it emboldened them.

I refuse to believe that Pam Bondi completed even the first year of law school. If “Stetson” is a real school and not just an empty hat, there needs to be an investigation.

What Schumer is saying here, and I am not exaggerating in the slightest, is that Senate Democrats do not want Trump to pay a political price for either his destruction of the constitutional system OR the downstream effects of his bad policies. This is a pro-Trump position. bsky.app/profile/sahi...

It turns out that “basket of deplorables” was the kindest thing Hillary ever said.

As always, Trump continues to play 9 dimensional Hungry Hungry Hippos on the world stage.

Every single person sent to CECOT was denied their 5th Amendment right to due process and their 8th Amendment right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment. Every single person involved in denying these rights must be removed from their job and criminally prosecuted.

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

The only thing Charlie Kirk had in common with Jesus is that Christians get mad when you quote him to them.

MAGA is a group of people who looked at an imperfect (but great) America and have been happily destroying it to make a fascist theocratic kleptocracy. The “America” in MAGA is branding. They are, in their hearts, not Americans.

If you are a Republican congressman or a Fox News presenter or some schmuck with a podcast, and you are going along with this pogrom, we are keeping receipts. We are going to come after you with every legal tool possible and impoverish you for good. See, that's a chilling message right?

My guess is that his threat to prosecute feds who violate the rights of Chicagoans did it. Every D governor and AG should be making the same promise.

hey the people that stormed the capitol and erected gallows to murder elected leaders want you to know that political violence is not ok

he was a champion of free speech and if you disagree youre under arrest

This is what responsible democracies do with insurrectionist criminals. Decades-long jail sentences. 👇👇👇

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.

Kirk was a racist who thought black people shouldn’t be pilots. He thought women should be subservient to men. He hated MLK and the Civil Rights Act. He didn’t care about political violence against Paul Pelosi and Democrats. All his own words. You can deplore the shooting without honoring the man.

RIGHT WING GUY: we will turn the streets of america's cities into rivers of blood and rid the nation of their vile ideological sickness and anyone who isn't white (sees people joking about Charlie Kirk's death) NOW THEY'VE GONE TOO FAR! we MUST turn the streets of america's cities into rivers of blo

Will any of them call out Laura Loomer for siccing her followers on Charlie Kirk last week? One of them seems to have taken her words to heart: bsky.app/profile/amer...

Still 75% on the murder being someone to Kirk’s right. We might know by now if Trump had not dismantled the parts of law enforcement that target domestic extremism. The FBI of 6 months ago might have even stopped this shooting.

The Republicans demanding respectability politics right now need to reckon with their own responsibility with actively trying to normalize gun violence in response to speech and their incredible naivety that it would never apply to them
