This will be the last week of #thelateshowithstephencolbert. It doesn't mark the "end of an era for late-night TV"; it is another checkmark on the list of the US's accelerating decline into a dictatorship. Colbert will be fine. The US on the other hand, is zombie walking into a fascist state.

How is it that the general US population went from "the house always wins" to "the house has to win, always."

The most eye-opening insight from Trump and the MAGA movement is not that it happened, but how quickly an entire political party was co-opted and caved to its worst instincts. Or maybe it was finally able to show us its true colors, without ideological rhetoric or economic jargon.

The SCOTUS on the Voting Rights Act: To be considered murder, the murderer must say, "I'm murdering," while doing so.

I'm convinced that things suck, not because they have to, but because somewhere along the way, someone convinced us that if things got better for everyone, it would somehow make it worse for us.

I support Public Land Order 7923 and urge the BLM to select the No Action Alternative, keeping the 10-mile mineral withdrawal around Chaco Culture National Historical Park fully intact. This sacred landscape holds irreplaceable cultural and archaeological significance.

Lately, I feel like the only sacrosanct rights you have in the US are to consume and spend; everything else is a privilege that can and will be revoked for noncompliance.

This is why we need a day of action this year on Stonewall Day, June 28th, which commemorates the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall Riots, & this particular year, 2026, will be the 60th anniversary of the 1966 Compton's Cafeteria riot & the 10th anniversary of the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting.

Best message I’ve seen all day. #NoKings

It's hard to wrap your head around how far right the US has gone. Congress Dems sound more and more like 1990's Republicans. At the rate we are going we are a handful of political cycles before the Democrats start chanting "'Merica First" while the right starts wearing hooded masks in Congress.

You can study religion for a lifetime but if you never look inside yourself and discern that you know how you want to be treated and transfer that feeling to others you have wasted your life with pedantic preposterous nonsense.

Billionaires do not concern themselves with the troubles of the poor. If you make $100,000 and don't spend a dime: It would take 10 years to make a million. 100 years to make 10 million, 1000 years to make 100 million, and 10,000 years to make 1 billion Billionaires have more in common with banks.

The only thing worse than ICE is the cops protecting ICE while arresting civilians and breaking the law in broad daylight.

You should listen to them carefully, you might learn something. Especially if you are leader. bsky.app/profile/dyts...

ICE killed Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen—and you likely haven’t heard about it because DHS has been covering it up for nearly a year. My heart breaks for his family, who deserve immediate answers and an independent investigation into his death. ICE will be held accountable.

Read and share all over..he nails it

I have a nagging suspicion that if the Supreme Court hadn't equated money with freedom, we would be in this mess. We might have been in a similar one, but definitely not this exact one.

Angela Davis does not believe in selective freedom. Justice is not a privilege. It is a principle. American scholar and activist whose writing and organizing reshaped feminist, racial justice, and liberation movements. Black History. Always. 🖤 #SheShed #Voices4Victory

The first time I saw @techconnectify.bsky.social during the pandemic, I felt like I found a little gem of a channel to learn more about the technology around me. Today, I saw the passion and ferocity about the future of the US that the current situation demands. Example set youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM?...

What amazes me about the Trump years is that somehow the college-educated, the scientist, the blue state/cities are the elite that are destroying the US through their woke ideology. This is coming from the former Goldman Sachs executives, McKinsey consultants, and legacy Ivy League alumni.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Imagine any other US Dept so well-funded that you can send your agents to Milan for an all-expenses-paid trip to watch the Olympics. While getting paid overtime. #winterolympics #iceoutforgood

"Don't thread on me really means: Don't thread on us, thread on them." youtube.com/shorts/LNc_i...

ICE is the culmination of law enforcement policies that only protect law enforcement, while leaving the community powerless and vulnerable. No violence by law enforcement justifies self-defense, but any self-defense justifies all violence by law enforcement.

The fact that the US president is a racist and a criminal? You knew that already. The fact that he is consumed by dementia? That's gossip. The fact that media and other institutions are willing to treat him as legitimate? That's the scandal.

Remove them. Defund them. Abolish them. Prosecute them.

Mark Carney referred to the influence “middle powers” have in resisting authoritarianism in the speech that so outraged President Trump. Can we in the middle find the courage, and the power, that keeps us from being alone?
