Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

“This is not just a warning. It should be a call to action…It may seem impossible to unravel an expanding mafia state, but let’s not give up our belief that when the majority fights back, such lawlessness and hostility can’t endure.” open.substack.com/pub/america/...

The best show coming out of Disney is Andor and in spirit with Andor's message we canceled Disney yesterday.

Howard Stern says he feels for Disney, but he’s canceling Disney+. “I’m trying to say with my pocketbook that I do not support what they’re doing with Jimmy.” x.com/sternshow/st...

DHS: Hey y'all. Please stop accurately documenting our corruption and anti-american principles.

Cowardly Disney enabling petty Donald Trump proves that it *really* is A Small World After All . . .

Fuck you Donald Trump. We will never allow America to end up a “closed country.” America is a free, open, democratic country. The insurrection that will rise up against you as you continue down this fascist road you’re on will utterly dwarf the Jan 6th insurrection you led.

This is how they set up their propaganda campaigns.

When Charlie Kirk died, a lot of very new accounts jumped on my postings and asked all the same questions when I said Kirk spread racist, fascist nazi rhetoric (funny for me as a German that they believe they could catch me in a gotcha with that one): "How do you know he was a fascist?" or:

We’ve seen this movie before during Nixon’s era. Guess how it ended? The GOP lost power for two decades.

Bye, Disney! (And I have 3 kids, but they'll be OK)

So I found out Stephen miller lives in my general neighborhood.

Just 2 gun rights advocates sitting behind a wall of bulletproof glass while enjoying a memorial for a gun rights advocate who got murdered by a gun.

Let this sink in: A president can apparently now order lethal force outside of congressionally declared wars, in international waters, without oversight, and face no personal criminal or civil liability—even if the action was blatantly illegal. trib.al/0GD9wIS

Inflation is so bad these days that taking a $50,000 cash bribe can't even get you indicted. SAD!! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

This… 👇🏼

Sounds like Trump is being directly manipulated by his phone at this point.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

Let me state the obvious that seemingly needs restated. You can BOTH condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, and still disagree with what he said. This is the USA.

“If you are in H-1B or H-4 status and are currently outside the U.S., we strongly recommend that you do what you can to return to the U.S. tomorrow before the deadline.”

Wow. From an article in The Guardian.

While 🇺🇸 farms go under…

This is absolutely true, but I will note I haven't seen any of it in reaction to my decision not to honor Kirk. Electeds taking a stand is one cure for doomerism.

Texas Latinos are sending a message loud and clear. 💥 Trump is -32 overall and -40 on the economy. Redistricting can’t redraw people’s voices.

A lot of society would be better if we just made algorithmic media feeds illegal.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.

Pretext says what?

Trump posts another video of a U.S. military execution of individuals in international waters, striking a boat he claims was trafficking narcotics.

Trump is anti First amendment. And Republicans are encouraging him. That's the president we have right now. Elections are less than 14 months away.

Trump has done more to establish a unitary executive than all the judges or legal scholars in the world could ever do. And Trump has done more to discredit and expose the unitary executive theory as lawless authoritarianism than any judge or legal scholar could ever do.

Trump pushed his own nominee out because he wouldn’t bring bogus charges.

"Because someone died, we have to take away your rights" -- the same pretextual rationale that authoritarians always use

Hah! F MAHA. They can't even find 12 medical professionals that are dumbass enough to go along with RFK Jr.

Last month, grocery prices had their biggest increase in three years. Repost if you’re feeling the pinch. I know I am.

This just makes me think all the other media outlets want to do as Trump bids, because this shit was too easy.

“A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations or a podium for a passionate oration at a political rally,” the judge wrote. “This action will begin, will continue, and will end in accord with the rules of procedure and in a professional and dignified manner.” https://to.pbs.org/4pwkBMd

Quick point. Trump cannot silence you, period. He doesn’t have the means or the tools, and if he did he would be too weak to use them. This is a bluff. It only works if you let it.

At this point, Fallon not being cancelled should be extremely embarrassing for him. In his place, I would have rolled out on stage and repeated word-for-word the statement that got Kimmel cancelled. I understand that these guys are worried about their crews too, but you have to make a stand.

Senator @amyklobuchar.com breaks down the importance of YOUR vote.

In case anybody needs a reminder of the consequences when you stay home and sulk.

The Lavender Scare is an excellent term for what's happening now, given the parallels to the Red Scare McCarthy era of the 60s. And you know what happened after the Red Scare? Hippies! Stay strong. We will make this the start of the most progressive era in US history. ✊🏼

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare
