This is one of my favorite pictures from yesterday, Governor Pritzker with the protesters... #NoKings

💯

Portland braces for the same violence seen in Chicago and LA. Watch as one protester in Chicago removes his shirt to reveal all places he was shot by projectiles. The US government firing indiscriminately upon protesters and press alike. No one, regardless of political party, should support this

I now completely understand how people felt in the lead up to the holocaust.

Good morning, kids. Be safe out there. 🫶🏻

If Trump sends troop to Portland, protesters should go to Salem. If he sends troops to Salem, protesters should go to Oregon City. If troops go to Oregon City, go to Vancouver Washington Make this move ridiculously impotent and expensive.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Stephen Miller says we are evil, wicked, envious, nothing. Says they are good, pure, righteous. He tells them we build nothing, are nothing. He dehumanizes us so it’s easier to hurt us. Maybe kill us. All because we are different. He isn’t warning of war, he’s declaring it and it's chilling.

Time for a bike ride and a break from everything, it's just too overwhelming when every day there's some new crisis and there doesn't seem to be a light anywhere. Hang in there, and give yourselves a break. Here's a flower from my garden:

There is nothing godly, good, Christian or American about any word that's been uttered at that Arizona stadium today These fascists are so far up their own assholes that their words reek of that darkness It's clear that they plan to accelerate the death of America beyond even what we'd anticipated

I have never seen a festival of hate like what is happening in Arizona today Every speaker sounds like they want to genocide more than half of America

All I can think about when folks bring up the rapture is free shoes for atheists.

Only being semi-ironic when I say that as posters it is our solemn patriotic duty to make crass jokes at the expense of today's WWF White Christian Nationalist Super Martyrdom Extravaganza

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

MAGA, because it's a cult, doesn't realize the majority in America and around the world think today's spectacle was truly weird, sad, and unhinged. In no way did it honor Charlie Kirk. It abused his murder as a political rally in honor of their King, Donald Trump. Hella weird.

A lot of people don’t want to admit Charlie Kirk was racist because they would have to admit they are racist too, and that truth cuts deeper than they can handle. I will not mourn a bigot.

I’d really like to know what Joe Manchin thinks about … … said no one ever.

THIS is a level of INSANE I cannot put words to. These Dems are gonna beg Black women to organize and turn out Dem voters for them in 2026. And all that’s going to linger is the bitterness that they voted to praise and honor a RACIST who hated Black women above all others. I am utterly bereft.

Just because the GOP is working so hard to stop people from saying it, this is me saying BOLDLY that Charlie Kirk was a FUCKNG FASCIST ASSHOLE with literally ZERO redeeming qualities. He was not smart, he was not kind, he was not decent. He made this country worse in every way. So seriously,

I keep wondering where all those ammosexual gun nuts who swore they needed military grade weapons to act against government tyranny are Where the fuck are they? They insisted that they needed guns to take up arms against government overreach. Well here we are. FASCISM is booming on our shores

It's difficult finding a balance between being informed while avoiding doom scrolling on top of maintaining my inner peace. Going out into the world, ignoring all the fascist chuds takes its toll on my energy.

This is what it looks like when ICE violates our First Amendment rights.

As always,

We are going to have our civil war. It will be the American people against the government and it will be for the first amendment. Every single bit of it. How bloody it gets no one knows. But you can’t tell a nation to “stfu and do as I say”. No one will raise children in that society.

Disney is now a TOXIC brand and people are not going to want to be seen at the Parks. 🤷 Disney is going to go fucking bankrupt and they deserve they are the Putin of movie studios they are pathetic wimps. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

You could probably go anywhere on the planet right now; walk up to a stranger and say ‘I hate that motherf*cker’ and they would know exactly who you mean’.

Ever wondered why the left is portrayed as terrorists after Kirk’s death? This Analysis pulls back the curtain on 75 years of data and shows how silence really costs lives. https://americanmanifesto.news/warning-we-will-be-decimated-if-we-stays-quiet

Spot on. The First Amendment in on death watch right now. Ht @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

Standing against fascism is now domestic terrorism—by presidential decree. Anyone committed to fighting fascism can now be deemed an enemy of the state, arrested, and held—possibly without full due process—on the claim that they're a "terrorist." Just like that, we lost America.

Comedians are far quieter today than I would have hoped.

Obama getting off the sidelines is a recognition that all past norms have been destroyed, and those who believe in freedom and fairness must fight for it.

Shocked but not surprised to learn how many ~titans of industry~ who probably think of themselves as brave ballsy businessmen are actually cowardly pieces of shit when it counts.

A little something tells me some sort of crisis will be manufactured to cancel the midterms. These crazy times are going to get crazier.

Can't help but think of all my peers on social media on election night glibly proclaiming "yea watch how nothing changes." I wish I could live in such blissful ignorance.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

Glad that Gov. Gavin Newsom is up for the fight and understands the danger.

Ted Cruz on Kaitlyn Collins' CNN show 'The Source' September 19th: "Blue Sky is a cesspool of leftists celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk.” They're gunning for the platform.

They are definitely going to try to takedown Bluesky.

They claim autocracy isn’t their plan, but they sure are governing like there is never going to be a Democratic president again.

We're living amongst MAGA monsters & garbage humans and those who choose not to look any further than their own driveways.

I just had an emotional release in yoga. Just started crying at the end of class. The weight of the walls closing in really hit me. I need to go forward with radical kindness. I will not be reduced by the madness of this world. They will not steal my light. I will not accept hate in my heart.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

THREAD: THE TEXTS: I’m not ready to comment on the veracity of the alleged texts sent from the shooter to his roommate, but if the FBI fabricated them because they have marching orders to pin this on the LGBTQ community or "antifa", then the shooter is going to walk free. 1/

This is so messed up.

One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.
