We are going to have to tax millionaires and billionaires into penury to pay for the damages they caused. Oh well.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I am horrified at the possibility that we will discover mass graves.

Live in the Seattle area? Here is a list of KOMO TV advertisers to contact. Tell them you do not do business with supporters of fascism.

Subtly downgrade a band Nuns and Roses

Subtly downgrade a band Lessertramp

Subtly downgrade a band Candle Light Orchestra

Subtly downgrade a band Dirt, Breeze and Embers

Tuesday is Rapture Day again and you know what that means. Rapture Balloons! Prepare a length of stout cord with a slip knot on one end and keep it at the ready. When you see a Christian starting to lift off, lasso an ankle and tie off the other end to something heavy. Rapture balloon.

counterpoint: every Trump voter can suck my asshole

A stunningly powerful photo that horrifically illustrates the lie that this is a "Christian nation".

Anyways, political violence is bad. Shutting down the Broadview Facility at 1930 Beach Street is good. And ICE agents should be prosecuted for their crimes.

The Democrats in the Senate and Congress did *not* vote for a "murder is bad" resolution as some are claiming, they voted to *honor* the actions and ideology of a Nazi and grant him a national holiday. Let's not let this truth get twisted.

Please note that nowhere in this statement does Adam say what he's going to do about it. He does not suggest any course of action that the democratic party could or should take. He makes no attempt to change the narrative. He offers no encouragement or solidarity. Just empty words w/o meaning.

Bless Reddit users - again. If anyone else was hoping to find a list of advertisers on KOMO last night, here they are! I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this is a tough list and I'm not sure how many of these companies are going to care. But we gotta try. www.reddit.com/r/Washington...

another way to say this: fascism isn't about rules people follow, it's about categories people are in if you're in the right category nothing you do is bad if you you're in the wrong category nothing you do is good it's not about what you do, it's about who you are

"Let’s just stand here, silently. Isn’t it nice here? So quiet. Just stand here and savor the freedom. And, of course, the bravery. And, of course, the corporate mergers. You can tell the country is free because everywhere you look, there is less and less evidence that slavery ever happened."

Primary everyone. Everyone. Every time.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society only antitrust breakups allowed

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

If you work for ABC (or Nexstar or Sinclair) and want to talk about how this decision was made or the reaction inside the company please contact me on Signal at juddlegum.47 I will maintain your anonymity

The division is already irreparable. Pundits who refuse to acknowledge that are, wittingly or not, propagandists for a violent, extremist death cult.

We are so far down the rabbit hole, only 9 months in.

Establishment Dems: but whaaaat do you want us to doooo? This. We want you to do this.

A friend reposted this by @zellieimani.bsky.social from 2020 and it remains apt: “For the oppressed, peace is the absence of oppression. But for the oppressor, peace is the absence of resistance."

Adam Smith will never discuss cases of political violence and oppression like this because Adam Smith is both complicit and a coward.

This is how Rwanda started, Adam. You should read a history book someday.

Adam Smith is okay with political violence when it's directed at his base by the Republican Party.

This is political violence, Adam.

This is political violence, Adam. Just not the kind you care about.

This is political violence.

This is political violence, Adam. The very foundations of the constitution are being ripped to shreds. Our media is completely controlled. There is no free press. Clearly you don't give a flying fuck about that.

Compare Smith's mewling, performative concern trolling to the clear, educational messaging from senator Murphy. Now you know why Adam Smith is a toxic force in American politics.

Erasure of history to prop up a fascist regime is an act of political violence. Adam Smith is too vapid to understand that.

Not only does 99.5% of political violence in the US come from the right-wing, the right brazenly encourages and rewards it. Adam Smith chooses to ignore that. It doesn't comport with his Rufo created narrative.

Adam Smith desperately wants to "both sides" the coming right-wing pogroms.

Adam Smith doesn't care one bit about the real political violence being perpetuated hourly by the GOP.

This is political violence, Adam.

so are democrats really just going to remain silent as republicans target half of the country for retribution over a crime they didnt commit? im being serious, when do democrats call out this bloodthirsty rampage for what it is

US media is as tightly controlled as North Korean media.

Lost in the discussion of how Charlie Kirk "did politics the right way" are the lives of the two victims assassinated at Florida State University by a member of Kirk's organization, Turning Point USA, in April 2025.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

I was addicted to this show as a kid.

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I wonder how long it would take for South Park to get banned from Bluesky. And, if the answer is anything besides "it wouldn't," isn't that a big problem?

Serious question to those bothsidesing political violence: Where are all the highly armed left-wing militias? I'm sure there must be one or two self-proclaimed groups somewhere, but there have been literally dozens of right-wing militias openly operating nationwide for as long as I can remember.

... Kirk was a loathsome human being. A small-minded, petty, mean, glib, and above all deeply *stupid* person whose primary effect on the world was to make it meaner & dumber. He didn't deserve to die -- no one does -- but fuck if I'm going to join in all this sloppy, disgusting hagiography.

i just sent this email to @ezraklein.bsky.social
