We’ve got a bonus stream for Extra Life scheduled this week! So come on out and have fun!

Today’s “One First” looks at the status of the birthright citizenship cases—and their broader lessons for what we miss when we ignore the cases in which the Trump administration is both (1) losing; and (2) *not* seeking emergency/expedited appellate relief. It turns out that those are the majority:

New: The Trump family is now worth an estimated $10 billion, having nearly doubled its net worth since last year’s election. @danalexander21.bsky.social, @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

Things are feeling bleak right now, so it's worth sharing how California, the world's 4th largest economy, is doubling down on offshore floating wind.

Happy Monday Bsky! What fresh hell awaits us this week? Oh yeah...the Rapture is supposed to occur on Tuesday. Well, before people are sucked up into the sky, let's get the Epstein files released! While we're at it, let's see about that bribery investigation into Tom Homan as well. 😎

What could possibly go wrong with Fox as a stakeholder of TikTok, a network that forked over $787.5 million for lying to us, right?

They pulled Jimmy Kimmel to air family feud reruns.

It’s important to remember that this all started not because a comedian said anything wrong but because a comedian said something in a tone that was disapproved by the president and his executive team.

Huh wow turns out the people who wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs never cared about free speech, they just wanted to misgender and deadname trans people and use racist slurs

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Da GOAT s

Let’s mock them still

This is so messed up.

This is worth it just to see the shade of red Zuckerberg is after he gets embarrassed & has to roll with it.

"The Constitution take precedence. The President is violating his oath to the Constitution thus making all orders by him illegal." I don’t think the U.S. should bank on the troops coming to save it, there is a reason they replaced key leadership. Might makes right, not law, is in charge now.

The killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has unleashed a frenzy of recrimination — and finger-pointing. But the suspect's politics may be less clear than some say.

Trump said in July that he wanted Kimmel fired next. July. Kirk was still alive in July. This has nothing to do with Kirk. Nothing.

“And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear.”-Nemik, 5 BBY

When I’ve said Trump’s moral development is at the stage of a toddler’s I wasn’t trying to be funny. This is from Kohlberg’s Stages Of Moral Development. (BTW, Kohlberg found only 10-15% of people reach the most advanced level of moral reasoning, as it requires the capacity for abstract thinking)

Today is the day of the special election to fill the seat of former MN State Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot by a right-wing extremist.

New Mexico will become the first U.S. state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. This is a major step forward for families. Childcare is a human right. Every child deserves to grow up safely, without worrying about their well-being. More states should follow this example.

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

When journalism was cool. And risked everything to challenge power.

When you find out about Libro.fm, an alternative to Amazon-owned Audible that’s 100% employee owned, a Certified B Corporation, and shares profits with 4,000+ independent bookshops 😍

We should be alarmed that the VPOTUS is lying so blatantly about this. He knows he's lying, and he knows the media and informed public know he's lying. And he's lying anyway. Scary stuff.

When shit starts coming full circle and shit gets real.. Holy shit y’all Release the files.. #SheShed

There is something happening Wed, 9/17 at 5 AM Pacific. This is the third year after I threw my hands up and decided I needed to set time aside to properly recognize my late husband, Cliff Stapfer. I'd like to introduce you. twitch.tv/kyburg60 "In Memory of You" - benefitting @starlight.org

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

The Fox News 5 stages of grief Yelling Screaming Blaming Trans people Whining and finally, Grifting

At least 15 people including journalists and teachers have been fired or suspended for criticising Charlie Kirk online, Reuters reports. Free speech for us, not for you. #NorthKoreaShit

reminder that charlie kirk’s smug response to a black child saying he wouldn’t be here without the civil rights act was “exactly”

FCC. You know, regulating content, including calls to violence and requiring accuracy. It was that way once, and it wasn't that long ago. Please. @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social we HAVE got to get this back. First thing.

We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".

Probably the biggest thing to take away from this is there is no bottom, and you never start going down the fascist road because of that. A big right-wing nutjob got killed by an even more unhinged right-wing nutjob. Live by the sword, die by the sword. #Facts #FirstTry

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS South Bay LA” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

The governor of Utah is sad that the suspect they have in custody for the murder of Charlie Kirk won't let him start a race war.

So devastated by the loss

Would Trump and the GOP use the ‘assassination’ of a ‘free speech champion’ as pretext for criminalizing free speech? Yes.

Never forget what Trump said after the assassinations of Democrats in Minnesota by one of his biggest supporters. "I could be nice and call, but why waste time?"

Please do not let any of them get away with the 48 hours of insane fascist bloodthirst where they convinced themselves it was a leftist or a trans person or anything else, like I'm begging, you can't let them just move on from that

Nobody hates being compared to a Nazi more than a fucking Nazi.

Kirk sitting under a "prove me wrong" banner while claiming trans people are the biggest threat in mass shootings, assassinated by a white maga Mormon, Tyler Robinson You can NOT make this up This violence needs to end

Meanwhile, real American families are dealing with fallout from the chaotic straw grabbing for any leads to the Kirk Killer by the FBI director and his deputy director. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino must resign for endangering innocent kids. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

How about that.

📌"Hillary wants to abolish the Second Amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. But the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know." -Donald Trump suggesting in August 2016 supporters exercise their gun rights to assassinate Hillary Clinton

One more thing. I do a stream every year in memory of my late husband, Cliff Stapfer who passed from complications of Type I diabetes at 36. All damn day, September 17th. I hope you can join me. Benefits @starlight.org - and we do All The Things. twitch.tv/kyburg60 , starting at 5 AM Pacific.

In other news. Stuff is happening that I can only hope does Good Things. Buddy twitch.tv/LOTS_OF_PYRO and I are streaming Saturday, 9/13 at 6 PM Pacific for @extralife4kids.bsky.social playing collab Grounded 2 (me for the first time, watch me flail!) - come by. twitch.tv/kyburg60

They wanted a trans shooter. Or Muslim. Or radical leftist. Anything to feed their hateful ideology. Then the truth dropped: cis, white male, conservative, gun-loving, from religious household. Suddenly, silence. No retractions, no apologies. Just proof the narrative was only about weaponizing fear.
