“ABC and CBS are making a serious miscalculation. Their servility to Trump will not earn them peace, only greater pressure.” That’s the German professional association of journalists, @djv.de, calling on major US media to support their journalists instead of preemptively silencing them.

We firmly believe firing comedians is not a sign of a healthy democracy. In some countries, they even elect them to defend against ambitious fascists. — PM Tuxley II

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs. The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

Anything we do has to include breaking up corporate and media monopolies. The tools are there to dismantle this horseshit, you just have to find the people willing to use them.

Take the pledge (easy to do since they have nothing worth watching) .. never, ever watch ABC or CBS. These companies have no value if very few people watch. Do not watch those who enable totalitarianism.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

This is exactly the topic of my talk tomorrow

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

I just find everything feels a bit better when I watch this.

We live in the dumbest of times.

One week of intense conversations in Kyiv convinced me that Ukraine has no need for Trump any longer. Ukraine can produce all the arms it needs, but it needs financing, which Europe can and must deliver. Trump has swiftly ended the time of US superpower.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.

Tim Walz: "I've been telling people since January it's going to get worse before it gets better, but it is going to come to an end. History is not going to be kind to these people. History is going to remember them for what they're trying to do. It's not what they're going to get done."

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button

Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from NY if NYC elects Mamdani. An impeachable offense for any other president in any other era. In this one it’s just another Monday.

My son just asked what bitcoin was and I told him it was fake money mostly used for crime which my wife thought was maybe too real but that’s how I roll.

This is the kind of winning we need.

This is not a real apology. He needs to be fired.

Fox News: “Kill the homeless with lethal injections.” No problem. MSNBC: “Charlie Kirk is divisive.” Fired on the spot. Welcome to America 2025.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

If you haven't gotten your updated COVID vaccine by now, book an appointment fast before next week's ACIP meeting. After that, you might not be able to get one. I plan on getting mine this weekend if I possibly can. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...

Holy shit, Iowa farmers will be the first to go bankrupt.

We live in the dumbest of times.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

The estimated number of deaths so far due to USAID cuts are truly mind-boggling. Musk will be complicit in the unnecessary deaths of millions of people. (estimation below done by www.impactcounter.com/dashboard?vi... )

WTAF. A racist dick was murdered because another racist dick thought he wasn't sufficiently racist or dickish. So now, according to these shitbags, WE'RE to blame for not being sufficiently civil about this utterly stupid fucking shit.

Found this in my feed. Speak up, I did

The Hatfields keep blaming the McCoys every time a Hatfield shoots another Hatfield.

The death of Charlie Kirk has become a loyalty test.The media demand mourning on their terms,grief as performance, or else. But Kirk was divisive, and people are allowed to say so. To force reverence is to force a lie, and I won’t lie, not for Charlie Kirk, not for anyone.

Trying to imagine Secretary Austin applying this rule about the death of Jimmy Carter—an actual U.S. president.

The Right grooms domestic terrorists. The Left wants everyone to have healthcare and education. See the difference?

Charlie Kirk was murdered because he wasn’t pro-white enough. Let that sink in for a minute…

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

‘ZERO ORDERS’: Trump’s second trade war with China is sabotaging soybean farmers all over again. Tennessee farmers planted 1.75 million acres of soybeans this year. 😳

Thoughts on Trump ordering flags to half-mast for Charlie Kirk but wouldn't even call the Governor of Minnesota after Democratic elected officials were killed in by a Trump supporter. Democratic lives do not matter to Trump

When a society is flooded with unregulated guns and mental health is stigmatized and largely unaffordable and we have politicians who stroke racial, ethnic and gender divisions to fuel hate… then we’re going to have kids who grow up without parents and parents who grow old without their kids.

This was just last month and we have already memoryholed it. A cop killed by an antivaxxer.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

This all fucking day! Wake up white people!
