"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

I'd say it's clear now that Roberts is the worst CJ in American history. Taney is the only competition but Roberts has done more damage

Holy shit the cops thought the 2024 mass shooting referenced in the last image was a shooting dude was threatening to commit, you do not picture cops being stupid enough

Worldcom is gifting fiber optics builders $100 b to buy more fiber optic cables

True story: the only time that a party opposed my request for leave to file an amicus brief, it became an extremely unflattering story for them in the WSJ (among other places)

Democratic elected officials need to make very clear that there will be criminal consequences for people who obey plainly illegal orders.

This would be more compelling but for the fact that Shapiro worked hard to push out a university president because she was insufficiently repressive of speech that offended him. www.thefire.org/news/how-gov...

That seems, uh, rather fatal to the investment thesis, no?

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

“The FBI recorded Tom Homan, White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help agents posing as business executives win government contracts in a 2nd Trump administration… Trump’s DOJ shut down the investigation…” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

these details are less memorial and more nuremberg

oh fuck off

Amongst the many, many other faults and follies of the party, perhaps the single most dangerous problem with the Democratic Party today is their incessant habit of reinforcing the idea that there is absolutely *no* principle that matters, no policy that is sacrosanct that they will stand behind.

Also a reminder for Massachusetts folks that @etelhaxhiaj.bsky.social also put her body between her constituents and ICE in May and continues to face charges for it. She has court next Thursday, 9/25 at 9am, and if you're in the Worcester area, you should come show support!

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

Apparently they made the documentary but didn't want to put it in front of quite so many normie eyeballs after all.

Dems advertising that they are capitulating to threats of violence is not an especially smart plan even on narrow selfpreservation concerns

Voting no on that piece of trash resolution isn't 'failing to condemn' his murder. It's not celebrating a mediocre, worthless, violent, racist misogynist. And all yes voters are cowards.

Today’s friendly reminder for Boston-area voters that Stephen Lynch has a primary challenger who would *not* have voted to honor Charlie Kirk. It’s long past time for Lynch to go

"More professors in the United States have been fired for controversial views in the past week than any other week in all of American history." www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

Hulu and Disney plus are now offering 70% off subscriptions, and in response I am offering Hulu and Disney plus 70% off deez nuts.

This type of cowardice does so much more damage to the party brand than any left wing policies the donor class fights against and it's not even close.

Charlie Kirk said Joe Biden should be executed. When Democrats defend their vote for a resolution honoring this man, just remember that this is what they voted to honor.

the H1-B thing seems unlikely to withstand a court challenge, but it's still deeply funny that it's basically a nuclear warhead aimed at businesses and executives who've been grandiosely and publicly kissing his fucking ass for nine months

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

After having great fun in the FA stage, Silicon Valley oligarchs now entering the FO phase.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

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

NEW ODD LOTS: The future of the Delaware Corporation. We talked about Elon Musk's move to Texas, and whether more companies, boards, startups, etc. will think about incorporating somewhere else besides Delaware. Fascinating chat with CU Law Professor Ann Lipton podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Letterman on Kimmel: "We all see where this is going, correct? It's managed media. It's ridiculous. You can't go around firing somebody because you're fearful or trying to suck up to an authoritarian, criminal administration. That's just not how this works.”

Another two or three years of this and ol Chuckie might say “motherfucking.” That’ll show em

honestly, kudos to him for this

lmao. sure

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

I’ve always said that every Democrat running for office deserves a primary opponent. This is exactly why. They twist themselves into pretzels to defend the indefensible when the logical answer is right in front of their face. @housedemocrats.bsky.social

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.

"Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed." They will never learn that capitulation doesn't work. Never

I'll say this again: In my opinion, when companies and institutions cave to Trump despite the law being on their side, they are not misunderstanding the law; they are making an educated guess that the United States is heading in a direction where, in practice, the law won't matter.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

to a pretty significant extent, the "culture of honest debate" which mainstream liberal pundits pretend to charlie kirk stood for is just a conspiracy against the public

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

*After FCC threats We are in a very bad place

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

we are in really unsettling place that we're facing a deeply unpopular regime that is making everything appreciably worse but the people with the power to stand up to them and takes steps to maintain basic political stability are capitulating without a fight

American elites are deeply corrupt scum. Dimon fluffing the GOP Senate caucus today was a perfect example of it.

I think what’s been most shocking to me is just how *easily* these institutions have just been cowed by this administration. No principles, no backbone. Just rolling over and showing their belly so their merger gets approved, fascism be damned.
