So they are thinking about raising the age for retirement or raising the tax on everybody. Literally anything but raising the cap for the super wealthy. “Bisignano said generations that will collect Social Security in the future "will probably have a different set of rules." Love that for us. 🤬🤬🤬

I think the whole “wait for the midterms” strategy has worked about as well as I thought it would.

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

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.

First, they came for - Hold on, someone's knocking at the door. Brb

Check out this thread for a list of other cancellations and boycotts to fight back against this fascist takeover of our media.

man, i know there are plenty of serious and sober types on here who are skeptical of the great khan, but i think he has some of the best instincts of the entire party right now

Anti-fascism is the American way. My grandfather fought at Normandy. Against fascists. So unless you’re cool with calling the heroes of WWII terrorists, I’m gonna need all of us to be in agreement on this point. Because if we aren’t anti fascism, then we are for it. Make your choice. I made mine. ✊✊

"Antifa" is not, never was, and never will be an organization. It's a cause. Declaring "antifa" to be terrorism is making the viewpoint of being against fascism illegal. That includes anyone and everyone who opposes this administration. Things are about to get very very bad.

And do it now. Today. Show them there are immediate consequences.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

this is probably a good time for you to consider whether that disney+ subscription is worth it just to watch andor for the fourteenth time, tbh

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.

I subscribe to as many elected officials as I can, and it's always surreal when a big story breaks and they're still all just posting about some tax credit they're proposing or the 4H club they're visiting.

January 23, 2025:

So, let me get this straight... The First Amendment forces private entities to give hate speech and violent rhetoric a platform and megaphone. But It doesn't restrict the government from abridging the freedom of speech from critics. I had it totally backwards all this time.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

There should be no forgiveness for Ezra Klein, Gavin Newsom, or anyone else who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's image in the wake of his death. They participated in a cleanup job that is facilitating Kirk's status as a "martyr." They have had a hand in the harm the administration will do in Kirk's name.

Due to Bluesky video limits, a lot of people haven't been able to share some of the fabulous Groyper explainer videos being passed around the internet. So I'm splitting them up & posting the best ones here: Please save the thread & share with others! GROYPER EXPLAINER THREAD: 🧵👇🏼

Absolutely the whole fuck not y’all. Shut it the fuck down.

Live by the sword, die by the sword is a paraphrase of a verse in Matthew. If you’re fine with shooting someone because they’re an immigrant or an 11 year old ringing your doorbell as a prank or potentially my kid,‘because he’s just going to school and you actively promote all of that…

Republican lawmakers are shameless, complete hypocrites. They truly disgust me.

This.

To everyone treading carefully to not give the right wing fodder to demonize the left.... It doesn't matter. Yeah, they're hypocrites. Yeah, they'll lie about the left's reactions. Yeah, the media will take their spin as truth and never ask about the hypocrisy. Fuck them and fuck what they say.

Raju: Have you seen that letter? Burlison: I would like to see it matched with his handwriting Raju: Here’s the letter Burlison: I don’t want to see it

This is the social elite of this country. The class that's worshipped and held up as the "American Dream" while they gobble up our resources, disregard the law, and evade all accountability. They have more rights than you, more influence than you, and are despicable subhuman trash. Be angry.

I feel like there's a non-zero chance that there's actual footage of Trump signing that card while wheezing out whatever he thinks a laugh sounds like.

Posters for movies that nailed the prophesy...

Elected Dems: DO NOT NEGOTIATE WITH THESE FUCKERS They want nothing less than a one party system now. There is no bipartisan solution to that.

It's wild how politely asking grown ass adults to wear masks and stop coughing on produce was the second coming of Stalin. But military takeovers of cities based on who they elected is totally cool patriot freedom USA.

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

"If there's going to be a showdown, it would be far better that it revolve not around whether Thune & Johnson are being sufficiently bipartisan in the negotiations — which voters won’t be aware of & couldn’t give a damn about if they were — than what Republicans are actually doing to the country."

As we progress further into the abyss, it's essential that we not forget how your gov is *supposed* to work. #AltGov is here for you. Click the follow all button for explanations of how events affect the represented agencies. Tag an Alt with questions. We work for you. Country > Party

It's interesting to get a look at what was going on at the top while beneficiaries and agency staff endured the downhill flood of shit. That said, who the fuck does Dudek think he's fooling? Trying to retcon his idiotic public statements and agency sabotage as self-sacrifice? What a tool.

There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026

When reached for comment, the Baileys commented, "Chuck is certainly deluded enough to like that idea, as evidenced by us."

NEW: Ignoring urgently needed reforms in favor of fruitlessly trying to find evidence of fraud, DOGE descended on the Social Security Administration “thinking it should work like a McDonald’s,” the agency’s former acting chief reveals to ProPublica.

If we cannot all be on the same page that the sitting president threatening to invade a US city is fascist dictator shit then truly I do not know what to do.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

If you are stopped by ICE, remember your Constitutional rights Ask for a lawyer IMMEDIATELY CLEARLY INVOKE your right to remain silent DO NOT consent to a search DO NOT answer questions about where you were born But-in some states you must provide limited information if lawfully detained

A perfect afternoon in Astoria.

Heads up Boston!!!!!! Know your rights, record everything, use your white privilege if you got it, stay safe, and use the @iceblock.app and Waze apps to report ICE activity to help people avoid them if needed!!!!!! We keep us safe, remember that!!!!! RESIST ✊✊✊✊✊

Everything sucks but calling RFK Jr. “microwaved Mel Gibson” is funny as fuck.

I'm sorry, but wasn't John Wayne Gacy's final desperate attempt to avoid execution alleging that he was taking down a child trafficking ring from the inside? It was literally the last resort of someone who had confessed and had dozens of bodies in his crawlspace.

This is somehow too complex for a lot of people: If you take away due process for someone, then you take away due process for everyone. It only works as a universal right. Otherwise, they can just say you're part of an excluded group and you have no ability to prove you're not.

This is frankly one of the worst things Donald Trump has ever posted, which is really saying something

These votes make zero fucking sense. Why are we voting for anything right now that even remotely helps the hostile takeover of our country??? @democrats.org @democrats.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social @alsobrooks.senate.gov @bennet.senate.gov @blumenthal.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov
