We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin. When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Mood: art reflects reality and reality reflects art A few title ideas given our moment in time Feeling adrift. . . Lost in the abyss . . . Into the unknown . . . Any others? #oilpaint #art #blueskyart #painting #abstract #reflections

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech

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.

Exactly this

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

When government intimidation and corporate cowardice meet, free speech dies. Boycott ABC and Disney until they stand up to Brendan Carr’s censorship. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

Fearless Truth Teller, Stephen Colbert, receives a thunderous standing ovation at the Emmys. 👏👏👏

"I just want to say, go birds, fuck ICE and free Palestine," "Hacks" star Hannah Einbinder at the #Emmys

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Civil War has been canceled because the shooter is a straight white Mormon kid from Utah.

This you? Just two hours later?

Thousands of Epstein emails prove that Ghislaine Maxwell lied about literally everything during her Todd Blanche interview. Since Blanche released the transcripts and called them truth, can he explain why he was so fooled and/or incompetent? Why are Republicans covering it up?

24 years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11 and honor the first responders who gave everything that day. We will never forget.

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Charlie Kirk wasn’t the only person shot today. But, they’re not big name MAGA’s, so it’s unlikely we’ll hear much about it from this administration. At least 3 students injured in shooting at Colorado high school. #CommonsenseGunReform flip.it/5-LzW5

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

Bus stop near the U.S. Embassy in London….straight to the point!

So much greatness.

Spencer Kuvin, Epstein's victims' lawyer, says the FBI interviewed 40+ girls, some just 14, and prepared a 54-count indictment. Then came the secret plea deal that let Epstein walk. Those interviews are in the files. Kuvin says Alan Dershowitz scoured the girls' MySpace pages to smear them as liars.

Kind of obsessed with the variety and saturation of color in birds and fish It’s sheer madness how beautiful nature is - I pray that we learn to preserve her. #koi #blueskyart #oilpaint #art #nature #color

Guess which network is ignoring the survivors? Fox isn’t news.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

Epstein survivor: Epstein surrounded himself with the most powerful leaders of the world. He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. RELEASE THE FILES!!!

As someone who spent more than two decades building high performance engineering teams- many of the best engineers I know grew up playing with LEGOs - LEGO is the red thread. The government should be handing out kits in bulk if anything. #lego #tarrifs

If South Park & Newsom trolling trump are my emotional support animal is wrong then I don’t want to be right🤣
