The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

To honor Charlie Kirk, a thread on his words about Jan 6. Let us cherish and remember them - which is easy since 41 of his sentences are "I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to testify". That is, Kirk thought his words could be used in a criminal prosecution. 1/ www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

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".

Anticipatory obedience www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/reversing-...

Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.

So much free speech we can't take it anymore 🤨

BREAKING: ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely following comments he made about Charlie Kirk's killing.

Is bluesky ever going to add bookmarks? 😕

Seeing lots of stuff tonight from Dallas Democrats and leftists about these arrests. No one seems to know why they were arrested. If it was for a genuinely bullshit or fascist reason, folks need to file complaints with the city's police oversight office. Link here: app.keysurvey.com/f/41562786/4...

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

Most birds have a fight or flight response. He forgot we’re flightless birds.

Hey #portfolioday Jason from northern Ontario here to once again show you *Storm the Seedcore* and *others*

Congratulations to all the 14 yr old Floridians & Arkansans whose governors want them to drop out of school & work 13 hour shifts to screw in tiny screws on iPhones so the tech/crypto bros in the govt can have the newest iPhones to react with a fire emoji to the classified intel in the group chat

My 12 y/o son was willfully ignorant of politics until he calculated the potential cost of a Switch 2 with tariffs. Now he is radicalized.

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Leader Jeffries is threatening a lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for holding off on calling a special election to fill a vacant House seat in Houston, which Democrats allege is a deliberate move designed to help pad the GOP's razor-thin majority.

EVERYTHING IS SO STUPID

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

🤣

I kind of want to go

This asshole raised prices and ruined your retirement savings, and now he's out golfing for the rest of the weekend.

I will yield for a question while retaining the floor

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Protest today in Southlake, TX at the Tesla dealership! Indivisible TX24 is one of the rare local groups that kept working year after year since their founding. I hope to join them next time!

Protest March 8 Austin, Tx with Elizabeth Warren and Lloyd Doggett

These Dem members of Congress are eager, I'm sure, to tell you why voted in favor of censuring their colleague Al Green (TX09):

Yup.

Senator Tim Kaine nailed it. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

What an embarrassment

NEW: The email went out about 30 minutes ago.

Found some peace in this.

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

This is the way.
