Here’s what Repubs have said to Dems: ‘We control the WH, the Senate and the House. And so we drafted a spending bill with what WE want, we did it on our own, we didn’t give 2 fucks about what YOU think or want, so fuck off!’ But a shutdown will be DEMS fault??

Here’s a thought Hakeem…. IMPEACH THE MOTHERF***ER ALREADY!!!!! #ITMFA

This has been on my mind since January 20. Trump is not acting like a man who has ANY concern about ANY future election(s). And I think that means exactly what we think it means.

For those who don’t seem to quite get it yet. 🆘🇺🇸

Wow. Not at all surprising, but wow. Blatant corruption is perfectly fine (encouraged, even) in this administration.

It’s my city’s Pride event today, so so I dyed my beard rainbow again and I’m wearing my “Free Dad Hugs” shirt. I’ll let you all know the response I get with the shirt. I wore the shirt last weekend for the NC Folk Festival and had three people ask for hugs.

Trump: The networks have to show honesty and integrity Q: Who determines that? Trump: The people decide that's why I'm president Q: So that means you decide? *Trump ignores*

These are precedented times and the precedent is a loud ass warning www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Fact of the Day...

'Carr’s threats against ABC appear to be “a pretty clear-cut case of jawboning.” Jawboning refers to a type of informal coercion where government officials try to pressure private entities into suppressing or changing speech without using any actual formal legal action' www.wired.com/story/brenda...

RFKjr gave orders to Dr. Susan Monarez for her not to speak to US Senators. He put a gag order on the senate-confirmed CDC director. Scream this story from every rooftop. Impeach and remove RFKjr.

The Fed projects significantly lower Gross Domestic Product for the rest of Trump's term than it was in Biden's last two years. And, inflation is projected to go up due to tariffs. Growth down, inflation up = stagflation. Last time, Nixon used wage & price controls. Sooo much winning.

Yes. And. Even if he had, the government doesn’t have a right to intervene. The use of the FCC to regulate protected speech is textbook anti-constitutional.

✨ Let’s be real: ‘antifa’ literally means anti-fascist. So when a regime declares anti-fascists the enemy, what they’re really saying is that fascism is their friend. Call it what it is.💄

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

Trump administration using its power to chill speech it doesn’t like

Fascists have always been relatively blind to allegory. Rod Serling created THE TWILIGHT ZONE after 2 attempts to make his teleplay inspired by Emmet Till were made toothless by censorship. He realized if it was about robots or aliens, he could tell the same story and no one would notice or care.

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

But not Dem leadership or corporate media apparently

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.

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

The reason that most professors, particularly in fields like history, sociology, anthropology, and psychology, are left leaning is because conservatives are wrong about most things in society

Impeachment was literally *created* for this situation. I suspect not a single one of the Founding Fathers would have opposed immediate removal of a president on the grounds reported on here. No wonder America is talking about basically anything else but this and the still-unreleased Epstein Files.

happy 3²/4²/5² to ask those who celebrate

They don’t have the power to do what they’re threatening on a grand scale. But they want us to think they do.

MAGA: "Liberals hate America! They're violent anti-American nutjobs!" Also MAGA: "BURN IT ALL DOWN TO THE FOUNDATIONS, SALT THE ASHES AND THEN PISS ON THE SCARS."

Mark Epstein said, "My brother said if the public knew everything he knew about Trump, they would cancelled the election" RELEASE THE NON REDACTED EPSTEIN FILES AND VIDEOS

Y’all are cutting HBCU funding, dismantling civil rights offices, slashing Medicaid and SNAP, over-policing Black communities—yet want us to believe you’re helping poor Black people?

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

Nothing to see here.

Emulating the worst excesses of the “cancel culture” so maligned by conservatives in the 2010s and early 2020s, MAGA is now placing the weight of government behind efforts to fire university professors for their beliefs. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/9DIgr4m

When people say “be civil” you have to evaluate your response through the lens of their relationship to power and beliefs about who should have it

The radical left wants UBI wants affordable housing wants police reforms etc The radical right wants you dead wants white supremacy are Nazis These are not the same. These have never been the same.

Brian Kilmeade wants to murder unhoused Veterans then?

The legal theory Trump is using to justify using troops against protesters can be traced back to the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act.

I am having a hard time reconciling "Charlie Kirk was a fierce advocate of open dialogue and free expression" with "we must identify and persecute everyone who is insufficiently mournful"

Kirk wanted to denaturalize his political opponents. He bussed insurrectionists to the Capital on J6. He attacked our democracy with election conspiracy theories. He urged his millions of listeners to bail Paul Pelsosi's attacker out of jail.
