I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Too funny

We have to stop dehumanizing ICE agents while they are doing their important job of dehumanizing us

Remember, the same government deploying masked agents to kidnap people off the streets and disappear them to foreign countries without due process demands you not call them fascist…or else.

The Right is nakedly trying to make it illegal to call them fascists which is about the most obviously fascist thing you could come up with.

So many of us came so very unwillingly to this place of viewing the Supreme Court as unworthy of being viewed as a judicial body. Unworthy of veneration, unworthy of respect. So profoundly reluctantly. But, good lord have they earned it.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

Some gobsmacking data on what’s happening in Ohio schools….

We have the power, it's time to wield it with authority and end this god damn nightmare

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

In my part of Ohio, ground beef prices are now higher than the federal minimum hourly wage.

And then, the very fascism he gleefully helped put in power came for James Comey. His god was an iron.

Kash Patel is making the critical error of assuming that the average American is as dumb as he is.

Nothing like watching free speech give censorship the middle finger.

Goebbles or Miller?

Fuck you - make me. —John Oliver

What is the difference between a Russian Oligarch and Larry Ellison? Asking for friends who believe his pursuit of all media is devastating to our freedom of speech, freedom of press, and Democracy.

BREAKING: Heroin Guy who eats dead animals off the side of the road has some medical ideas.

One thing you learn in life is that "speaking truth to power" and practicing integrity is easy when your job, your money, your fame, or your office is not on the line. The hard is speaking truth and practicing integrity when any one of those is on the line. That is the test of who you are.

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation. But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

I expect in 3 to 5 years this to read more like a civil war report. “It’s official: the Northeast Collaborative has struck a military alliance with the Northwest-West Collective. Canada has allowed safe flights between both; the Midwest Patriots have attempted to down planes with farm rockets.”

Trump (to ABC); “that’s a nice network you got there… it’d be a shame if something happened to it.”

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

I substantially underestimated corporate and institutional cowardice in the US.

“This is how a four year old mourns a goldfish.” Disney/ABC… I stand with Jimmy Kimmel

Here’s the thing… fascists always need an enemy, always.

You didn’t recognize fascism when Black people faced harassment by law enforcement, were beaten and bitten by dogs while advocating for equal rights. Or when police bombed a Black community in Philadelphia. You failed to recognize fascism when it impacted others. Now we’re here.

When someone says one thing to gain power and then a contradictory thing when exercising that power, the most useful lens for understanding it is power, not hypocrisy.

How long until we start hearing about how people who make remarks inconvenient to the regime are falling out of windows?

Justice Sonia Sotomayor appeared to rebuke calls to target “hate speech” in an apparent swipe at Attorney General Pam Bondi. “Every time I listen to a lawyer-trained representative saying we should criminalize free speech in some way, I think to myself, that law school failed,” said Sotomayor.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.

Right wingers are full of shit, they wanted “legalized comedy” until they got made fun of, they wanted “free speech” until they got offended, they wanted easy access to guns until one of their loudmouths got clipped

according to an immigration attorney representing several arrested workers, ICE agents chose to arrest the Korean workers to fulfill the quota of 3,000 daily immigrant arrests set by Stephen Miller www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Wow. Live your life in such a way that your shitty policies don't make the health insurance companies look like the good guys.

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

“Go birds, fuck ICE, free Palestine“

Ah. The old “The shootings and the beatings and the violence are your fault because you call us fascists” trick.

If liberals like Ezra are saying that someone who called for Gay people to be stoned, trans people to be lynched, Black people to accept police violence and women to obey did politics "the right way", that is in some respects more alarming that the bloviation of the far right. Bend that knee, Ezra.

I'm hearing "political violence has no place in America" from people who were more than OK with what happened on Jan 6, 2021.
