We’ve come a long way from covefe.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

Trump "desperately wants you to believe you're living in a fully consolidated authoritarian state...but you have to understand it is an illusion...all the authoritarian steps have to be balanced against the ways the entire society is pushing back." -- @jamellebouie.net bsky.app/profile/cole...

US media, please stop covering these boat sinkings as anti-drug trafficking. They’re Public Enemy № 1 training the US military to commit murder at his command. Today it’s powerless people from other countries who are falling victim to these lawless attacks; tomorrow it will be our fellow citizens.

I am starting to think it’s bad that we have an executive branch made up of 90% podcasters

I guess it's called "corruption." I've never heard that before. I said wow what a beautiful word. It comes from the Latin [spicy voice] corrumpere. But it's something we're doing and we'll be doing it perhaps more than ever before

Somebody got the memo that every single rural hospital was going to have to shut down

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

So, they're going to blame women and Tylenol.

Miller’s Crossing is 35. Albert Finney had such a good time making Miller’s Crossing that he turned up on his day off to appear in drag when Gabriel Byrne bursts into the ladies room.

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

Wannabe Mob-Boss Brendan Carr to ABC: "Look, we can either do this [getting rid of Kimmel] the easy way or we can do this the hard way." Professional Liar Karoline Leavitt: "This was 100% ABC's decision. There was absolutely no pressure put on them."

China is now the world’s second-largest producer of autism research—but rooted in deficit and institutionalisation. What begins in Wuhan may shape IEPs in Los Angeles. Autistic voices must resist erasure and write our own record. open.substack.com/pub/autside/...

The censorship and the violations of freedom of the press by this regime are unprecedented in our modern history.

No one could’ve seen this coming

Who could have imagined that a guy who uses the moniker “Ka$h” would take over the FBI and shut down the bribery investigations of his buddies?

Good morning, Bluesky! Time to reach for the stars. Soviet CCCP space program propaganda poster, circa 1959.

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

UFW remembers Rene Lopez who sacrificed his life for La Causa (1962-1983) On Sept. 21, 1983, Rene Lopez, a worker at Sikkema Dairy near Fresno, was shot to death by company goons hired to harass the strikers who were attempting to bring in the UFW to represent them.

The assault on decency and democracy is being conducted by 2 armies: The Christofascists, who want to force everyone to worship their white, vengeful god. And the mega-thieves, whose only god is money. The people who wrap themselves in holiness are fortifying the people who glory in sin.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”

“Without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.” Stay brave and strong, my friends.

The news of the week makes it sadly clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

The thing about this that I have not seen discussed is that Marvel LITERALLY made their business on resisting fascism! Captain America was a pulp WW2 hero that punched Nazis!

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.
