Prediction: when today comes and goes with nary a single rapture, christian tiktok is actually going to insist that it actually happened and they’re the chosen who have to endure the tribulations as good Christians.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

donald trump is going through full brandonization at an alarming rate

"TYLENOL?! YOU'RE TAKING TYLENOL?!"

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

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

i think everyone needs to get a lot less religious

FDR won 42 states in 1932, it wasn't by pandering to Hoover voters. Then Republicans called him a socialist for 4 years. Then he ran for reelection and won 46 states

geez good thing we’re only using it for health insurance claims, legal arguments, mortgage rates, teaching students, predicting crime, mental health care, automating government services, fact checking, and pointing out other AI

@schumer.senate.gov how’s that negotiation going? Business as usual? Normal things happening in our country? You must want this.

@schumer.senate.gov you absolute spineless moron. You’re on his side. You want his authoritarian regime. I truly believe you’re a republican plant meant to take up important space in the opposition and hold every door open for your boss.

This is the most sobering post of the day. Aaron is absolutely right. This is the most brazenly corrupt, authoritarian regime the U.S. has probably ever seen. It is a test we cannot fail to rise to. Trump must be (legally) removed from office. Congress must act.

*taps sign*

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

I cannot emphasize enough how unhelpful it is to make the joke or comment — I’ve been guilty of making it at times myself — that this is conservative “cancel culture,” it’s not. It’s an authoritarian, cultish, censorship project run by the most powerful people in the federal government…

At least Trump's dropped the pretense that this is about Charlie Kirk and is instead really just about him not wanting to be made fun of.

Dutch late night TV has its take

@durbin.senate.gov Do NOT cave again. A shutdown is preferable to legitimizing the priorities of this authoritarian regime.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

RFK Jr. is objectively pro-disease, pro-illness and pro-child death.

Many of us are numb to it, but almost every day he publicly confesses that he is at war with our laws and Constitution.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

The right has never supported freedom of speech. Ever. Anyone who believed they did is not fit to have an opinion on politics.

the skeleton key to understanding these people is that they genuinely think you are a drone who will do what you’re told if the TV says it

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

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.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

Important to keep remembering and repeating that Kimmel didn't mock Charlie Kirk or celebrate his death in the monologue. He mocked the president's lack of feeling and criticized the regime.

BREAKING: Disney+ is to replace the two-season run of Andor with a recut version that runs for only five minutes, and is just Mon Mothma apologising profusely to Darth Vader for any inconvenience, and letting him have whatever he wants.

i dont want to go back to normal, i want a democratic president to use these newfound powers to completely dismantle the conservative media apparatus responsible for this mess

I mean, here's what Republicans are openly saying should happen to people like me. Seems a bit Nazi-like, tbh!

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

You can never appease a tyrant.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.

Schumer needs to say that when Ds take congress they will hold hearings on whether Disney needs to be broken up since it is essentially bribing Trump for preferential treatment re mergers.

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

Also, the way these companies are caving to the current administration, I never want to hear anyone gripe about "the liberal media" ever again, because in mass media terms, that doesn't exist.
