They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

CARTOON OF THE DAY (Updated Version)

So let me get this straight... in Oklahoma we fire football coaches who finish last in the conference but retain the State Sup. of Education although we are last in education?

The Dallas shooter was NOT anti-ICE. He was a right wing 4chan video game addicted meme-lord who was anti-immigrant. FFS! The left doesn’t do high powered weapons to kill people from afar! Mass shootings of innocent people is a power trip for WHITE DUDES!

Winning !

Maybe the Fox bobbleheads should shut it and check the numbers. Kimmel pulled 15 million viewers last night. Those are not “low ratings,” that’s a beatdown.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Hillary Clinton: "Good lord -- the things that have been said about me, the lies that have been propagated. If I had only known I could call up the FCC chair and say, 'Take this person off the air! Off with his head!' You have to laugh about it so you don't cry."

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

Trump just threatened to sue ABC again for allowing Jimmy Kimmel back on the air, which is SUPER weird, because all of these Republicans said that the decision to pull Kimmel’s show was a “business decision.”

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

I’d never seen this one.

Ironically, by demanding prosecution, Trump may have given his “enemies list” a built in defense if he can find a prosecutor to indict them: Selective or vindictive prosecution is grounds for dismissal joycevance.substack.com/p/show-me-th...

Chump makes History for All The Wrong Reasons........

RIP Nez Perce native American leader Chief Joseph, died this day 1904. “I believe much trouble and blood would be saved if we opened our hearts more.” “It does not require many words to speak the truth.” “The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”

Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!

Raskin: "He wants to condition the public to the idea that it's completely legitimate for the president not only to be ordering prosecutions of particular people over the objections of prosecutors, but he wants to condition the public to accepting the idea he can do that in public, openly."

This is your Republican Congress. It is exactly what their response is to every abuse of power by Trump. Vote every one of these sycophantic cultists up for reelection out of office in 2026. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Manchin is a joke. He blames Dems for the mess we’re in while dodging his own role. He propped up Trump and helped the GOP shred guardrails • He blocked the Build Back Better plan, killing major climate and social reforms • He opposed filibuster reform, sinking voting-rights protections 🧵

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

If you voted for Trump for economic reasons, you got got.

The Count of Mostly Crisco.......and now I am ☠️. You have won the internet today. This is why I follow @guyfawkesnews.bsky.social on Bsky and Threads. You should too.

THIS crap is exactly why the Dem party has become a turnoff for so many! Too many of our reps don’t fight anything meaningful. They capitulate more than ABC and Disney!

If you are one of the almost 100 Dems who voted to honor the guy who said the Civil Rights Act was a huge mistake, don’t bother asking Black people to vote for you, donate to you or canvass for you next year. Don’t bother. Please. And don’t be shocked if you get a primary opponent.

I saw a reference to Watergate and almost laughed out loud. Watergate wouldn’t break the top 10 scandals this month, let alone ending a presidency.

The Lame Stream Media needs to Stand Up For Free Speech ! In Russia, for example, look at what Happened to Navalny when He Spoke Out. Chump and ICE are Taking away our Freedoms bit by bit by bit.......

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

I hate that Brigitte Macron feels compelled to prove she’s a woman, but I get it: shut that lie down. The right thrives on ruining lives with made-up trash. Maybe Candace Owens should have to prove she’s human.

#Pinks #ProudBlue I LOVE this and I LOVE my subscription to Netflix. Who’s with me ??

Newsom Trolls Trump And FCC Chair Over 'Made Up' Rule To Oust Jimmy Kimmel - HuffPost - a taste of their own medicine

WTF! ICE agents are cosplaying as snipers now? Protesters are clashing with ICE outside the immigration processing facility in west suburban Broadview. Agents dragged two protesters, including one pulled inside the building. A chemical agent was reportedly sprayed.

Minnesota just earned a AAA bond rating - that’s basically an 850 credit score for the state, thanks to responsible budgeting and strong fiscal management. Our employers added 5,900 jobs in August - beating the national average. A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

Fed. Governor Lisa Cook is the test. If SCOTUS says yes, the purge begins. The Fed folds. The SEC obeys. The NLRB vanishes. Independence is gutted. One man decides who stays. Who kneels. Who falls. This is how dictators destroy democracies. Ask Jimmy Kimmel what happens when you dare to resist.

Stephen Colbert ripped ABC for yanking Jimmy Kimmel after FCC threats, calling it censorship. Execs admitted he said nothing wrong but feared Trump retaliation—“pissing themselves all day.” Colbert: with autocrats you can’t give an inch. He stands with Kimmel 100%. youtube.com/watch?v=ZdGL...

Trump is about to fire a U.S. attorney because he couldn’t fabricate charges against Letitia James. Pure corruption. Are Republicans fine with this?

Free speech scholars say ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely represents "jawboning," when government officials pressure private companies to suppress speech.

Our democracy is collapsing in real time. Much of the damage will be irreparable. If you’re waiting to say or do something, you better not wait much longer.
