Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

"Trump told the New York Times in an interview published Thursday there was only 'one thing' to limit his global power. 'My own morality. My own mind. It's the only thing that can stop me.' He added: 'I don't need international law,'" writes Stephen Collinson | Analysis https://cnn.it/3NCH8bG

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Incredible ❤️

Imagine living in a country where your own president goes to the Supreme Court and begs them not to feed hungry Americans? Oh wait, we don’t have to imagine because we’re living it.

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

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Shapiro: There’s a lot to be critical of: things cost a whole lot more after they promised costs would go down. We’ve got a healthcare system that’s being disrupted by an absolute quack That shouldn’t be censored. Because censorship erodes our fundamental freedoms.

We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the People, deserve better.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Brendan Carr 45 L Street NE Washington, DC 20554 Dear Commissioner Carr, I am furious that the FCC threatened to shut down the companies that broadcast the Stephen Colbert Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live causing their removal. Please review the First Amendment (copied in part, below).

The willful blindness of the right over the past couple of weeks has bared its ugly teeth.

Remember that time, a Fox News host was fired for suggesting the euthanizing of our homeless? Oh wait, he wasn’t fired…

Remember, when the right thought that gun regulation meant “they’re going to take away ALL of our guns”? Yeah, that’s how we feel about freedom of speech. The difference is they ARE actually taking it away

This!!!!

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

If not dictatorship, why exhibiting all the hallmarks of a dictatorship?

amen.

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.

Freedom of speech only applies if it’s the speech they want to hear.

Suddenly "hate speech" is bad. Suddenly "dehumanizing" people is bad. Suddenly "cancel culture" is good. Suddenly words have consequences. The modern American right in 2025, folks.

This must be the zombie apocalypse that we all joked about for years because there’s no explanation for how many people are going along with the insanity and chaos that has been placed upon us.

It’s crazy how in just a few days we went from woke and too soft to evil, violent radicals. Which is it?

This is simply untenable. There is no way forward with media and political classes captured by the right. Every time someone commits a crime you have to pray it's not an undesirable or it's purge time, then when it turns out to be themselves again they just shrug and wait for the next one.

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

The far right can’t grasp the concept of two parallel things being right at the same time because they don’t have the critical thinking skills to understand anything outside of their cult that is rational to those with critical thinking skills as being true.

Can we talk about how much division this man invokes and what an embarrassment to America he is?
