Maybe Trump saw this video ..RFK Jr sure changed his mind about Trump once he found out how easy it was to manipulate the transactional narcissist.

Thiel is calling for holy war on progressives. He is a Lord of the Rings fanboy who thinks that he is Aragorn. He is really the Lidless Eye of Sauron. J.D. Vance is his protege. Read it What’s Up With Peter Thiel’s Obsession With the Antichrist? newrepublic.com/article/2004... via @newrepublic.com

“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have. I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

per my last email, yes or no on the rapture? Need to know asap if I can have a cigarette thanks

Cleta Mitchell thinks President Donald Trump may declare a national emergency to allow him to take control of national elections. Her comments will add to growing concern that Trump is plotting a way to use his power over the military and federal law enforcement to rig next year’s vote.

Violence is never justice. I condemn it without caveat. But condemning an act of violence does not mean canonizing the person who was killed. Compassion for the family does not mean sainthood for the father. Mourning does not mean whitewashing the movement he built. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois. Never mind the videos…

The "playbook" is the same one the institutionally-transphobic New York Times has used for the past 10 years to demonize and dehumanize trans people and their healthcare. Fuck the New York Times.

Oklahoma teachers have to pledge loyalty to trump and maga! A loyalty code in exchange for your First Amendment! Thank this guy:

To the extent my country is exceptional it is because we are a country of all people and none. The world made manifest. A nation of nations. A people united in truly radical ideas of freedom, equality, and justice for all. Any attempt to undo this is treason and also seeks to make us ordinary.

also i think @blackamazon.bsky.social has Things To Say about Mozilla's failures to keep people safe, and by failures I mean "choices not to"

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

This right here.

If you're not Antifa then you're Profa. Can we call Profa a terrorist organization and round them up, too?

Eighteen hundred men went behind those fences. Today, only six hundred can be found. That means over 1,200 human beings are simply gone... Not relocated. Not released. Not deported with paperwork. Just gone. open.substack.com/pub/dissenti...

BBC news is not to be trusted, it is more like Fox News. It promotes the right wing and ignores everything else.

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Don't trust American media anymore? I don't blame you! Here are some alternatives: (NZ Herald, not Hearld, apologies for the typo.)

“A reporter who publishes only what the government ‘authorizes’ is doing something other than reporting,” said Katie Fallow, deputy litigation director at the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University @katiefallow.bsky.social

More of their Nazi playbook. The Nazi propaganda machine marginalized & targeted specific groups dehumanizing & scapegoating them desensitizing the public to persecution & violence. And ultimately, genocide.

If your family has rejected/disowned you or worried they'll reject/disown you if they found out you're #LGBTQIA Frequent hate attacks can feel overwhelming and/or you might feel defeated You SHOULD NOT have to fight for - #humanrights - #equality - right to exist etc I love, accept & value you🏳️‍🌈🌈💙

Just 7% of Americans are ardent anti-vaxxers 2/3rds strongly support/support vaccines 12.2% of parents are hesitant about standard childhood vaccines And yet, the anti-vaxxers have TONS of influence on the Trump administration

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

He literally called himself a dictator but sure maga you didn’t see it coming the easiest dumbest pawns ♟️ & helped the Epstein files congratulations to the poorly educated. He owned you & you loved every second of it. #MagaRepublicanPawns

Yes! I wrote an essay for Lawfare a few months back about how people had done exactly this during the House Unamerican Activities Committee. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/proc...

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

This is right but what's happening now is also on a larger scale and casting a broader net at mainstream opposition than McCarthy. It wasn't small, but it is possible to overstate the scale of how big that was. I'd say now is the worst since WWI & Wilson, and before that only Alien & Sedition Acts.

I hope my Jewish friends understand that when Trump tries to blame Soros, it’s a call directly to all of his antisemitic white nationalist supporters.

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

Trump's economy is working for those who can pay $1 million for a dinner with Trump. But it's not working for everyone else. More and more families can't pay their bills every month.

Jimmy Kimmel is yanked off the air. The FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, is doing the bidding of his Dark Lord, Donald Trump. I expose why profit over people has infected mainstream companies like ABC and CBS & why it’s time to carefully get your news from independent media. youtu.be/QRXCmp7cAjg?...

trump just said on Air Force One that TV stations who criticize him should have their license taken away. And guess what? They will listen to him, not because they are afraid, no, they will do as he says because the people who own these networks are the same oligarchs who support him. #Resist

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

You’re not allowed to criticize Dear Leader. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Self censorship in the name of corporate mergers is still censorship

House Democratic Leadership Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

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.
