DHS subpoenaed Meta for information about an account that posts names and images of the ICE agents raiding our communities, but @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and advocates are pushing back. Recording federal agents while on duty in public — and sharing that information — is our First Amendment right.

Scared of Trump's deep relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, his thugs have (A) illegally vandalized a private sculpture (B) illegally removed that sculpture without the mandatory 24h notice and (C) censored the political message behind it. www.npr.org/2025/09/24/n...

If Tom Homan did nothing wrong, the Department of Justice should have no issue releasing the Homan files and the video of the alleged bribery to clear this up. And while they’re at it, go ahead and release the Epstein files and clear Trump’s name. Shouldn’t be hard!

If this were discovered in a leaked email and published in the New York Times, it might get more attention. But Trump just tweets it out, and most people move on with their day. This is blatant corruption. Blatant weaponization. It is undeniably an impeachable offense.

Trump pushes to fire a top U.S. attorney for refusing to fabricate charges, pushes FCC to silence critics like Kimmel & The View, gets laughed out of court for his $15B NYT suit, and GOP drives toward a gov’t shutdown. Today's bulletin is vital reading:

me, age 15: conservatism seems like a fundamentally evil belief system me, age 21: actually it is more complicated than that, things are very complicated and everyone has their own way of seeing things. i am very smart me, age 3x: no i was right the first time nvm

In 2021, Trevor Milton was charged with defrauding investors. In 2022, he was convicted. In 2024, he donated $1.8 million to Trump’s campaign. In 2025, Trump pardoned Milton and the SEC dismissed his case. Corruption by Trump — plain and simple. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Jimmy Kimmel was not "canceled", it was not due to concerns about the relationship between the company and concerned customers. Jimmy Kimmel was *censored* by the *government* threatening/bribing companies by abusing its *government* power in order to silence speech it didn't like.

Unequal enforcement of Meta’s content policies and the time people spend in “content jail” is silencing speech. The chilling effect is real. It’s time for Meta to live up to its claims of supporting free expression. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Hitler uses his full toolbox in efficacious dealings with Jews

Not to continue to do this Cassandra bullshit, but here is a clip from two years ago that outlines exactly the playbook in this moment: a government and private law enforcement army run entirely on grievance, culture war slop, and weaponizable data points, deployed against boogeymen, absent facts.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Exactly this

👀

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer. That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

McCarthyism is back, this time with Bribes and Corruption flavor. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

Bye bye, First Amendment. Hello, fascism.

EFF compiled dozens of cases in which abortion-related information was censored from social media sites, and “we found that almost none of the reported posts actually violated any policies,” EFF’s Lisa Femia told @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social. www.jezebel.com/crucial-inf...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute. But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption. We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air. He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone. Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

Checking in on this

This is crazy. Republicans are abusing the FCC to shows that even *hint* Charlie Kirk was a bad person. www.theverge.com/news/780471/...

How did Dr. Monarez go from being “a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials” who had the “full confidence” of Secretary Kennedy into being a “liar” and “untrustworthy” in less than a month? She refused to rubber stamp his anti-vaccine recommendations.

"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

These spot-the-difference games are getting really hard

Hiding the truth.

Remember back in February in Munich when @JDVance criticized European countries for “backsliding” on free speech?

As I wrote after the first Caribbean boat strike, no War on Terror drone strike crossed all the lines these two attacks have. Those had some legal authority, occurred in areas the US military did not control—where arrest was not an easy alternative—and the US considered the worst ones mistakes.

Yesterday, the Attorney General asserted that "hate speech" is not free speech. Today, the President asserted that speech that is "mean" or "unfair' to him is "hate speech". Water funparks have slopes that are less slippery than this.

We’ve been hearing that social media platforms are censoring abortion-related content, even when no law requires them to do so. Now, we’ve got the receipts to prove it. www.eff.org/pages/our-s...

No, we cannot let the president sue newspapers for defamation for $15 billion in the districts packed with judges married to his staffers. There is no legitimate government that even pretends to tolerate this rather than throw everyone involved in prison.

insofar as you can lump “dem leadership” into a single group, i think a lot of dems, mostly in the senate, are not just underestimating the fury of the base, but they’re also underestimating the likelihood that failing to harness that fury means *someone* will, and they may not like the results

In just four months, three federal agencies have paid for massive political banners with your tax dollars: - USDA: ~$16,400 - Dept. of Labor: ~$6,000 - HHS: ~$34,000 That’s at least $50,000 in taxpayer money for Trump propaganda.

Today would be a good day to call and write your reps and tell the Dems that bailing out the GOP on the budget, and allowing the drastic healthcare cuts to be delayed until after the midterms is idiotic political suicide. If they're GOP tell them to sign the discharge petition to release the files.
