I wish Melissa Hortman, would have got the same respect that Charlie Kirk received today?

What’s up, Oklahoma? Mandatory Charlie Kirk memorial plazas and statues at every public college, while higher-ed budgets get slashed.

Charlie Kirk is looking up at his funeral, beaming with pride at all the hate being spewed on his behalf.

The Charlie Kirk funeral is absolutely disgusting, riddled with speeches that only dial up the temperature. Stephen Miller's was particularly vile. Meanwhile Trump's speech was mostly about himself.

Looks like I won't be tuning in for a few days to @msnbc.com BAD choice to air the "Charlie Kirk" Memorial. It doesn't have a Goddamned thing to do with Charlie Kirk. It's a MAGA Rally. Stick it in your ass.

"If there is a problem, fill out complaint form, and place it in an envelope addressed to the name of the hospital in which you were born." This remains one of the truly great works of satire, from the always whimsical @theonion.com. ✈️😳😂 #Kafka #Absurdism

This is the thing I keep going on about to the folks saying "omg he's so weak, he's so unpopular." If he's so weak, why has he accomplished his goals? Do you really think anyone in the admin cares about their popularity right now? The second question should give pause. They aren't all idiots.

Eight months in, and Trump/Vought have already accomplished implementing 47% of Project 2025, per this tracker: www.project2025.observer/en

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

[slaps the roof of an unstable polity] this bad boy can fit a land war in asia

Man, there are a lot of folks who can’t distinguish between necessary risk taking and dumbass risk taking.

More of this. Lots more of this. Let them know that unless they go full totalitarian dictatorship, shit's gonna get real.

www.wired.com/story/charli... this is how Charlie felt about MLK

We can make it our own day of remembrance, not for the absence of Kirk but for the nadir of our democracy -- from which we must rise like a Phoenix.

republicans are already there

as the joke gets closer and closer to true, i assure you i will become proportionately more obnoxious

amazing, like 100 people blocked me for a *joke* suggesting Dems would do something like this this place is made of juice

Friend texted me this. Anonymous sources, etc. But, if true, this is your reminder that the politics of civility have failed. You need to be a screaming asshole. Being a screaming asshole isn't violence. It is the only language these Fascism Babies understand

Boycott ABC.

The US has now two parallel governing structures beginning to shape policy in fields that were once the competence of the US federal government. Potentially the next tightening of tension in the America Crisis.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

It is both funny and chilling that AG Sulzberger put this list out on the NYT corporate website* instead of in the—oh I don’t know, maybe—the New York Times Politics or Opinion section?!?!!! *nytco.com, which usually lists promotions and hosts NYT financial reports

ABBY PHILLIP TO SCOTT JENNINGS: “Hold on… There are plenty of people over on (Fox) who lied about the election and denigrate half of 🇺🇸 every night, and they are allowed to do it… is the government supposed to be punishing people for speech they don’t like?”

Churches also just... aren't really the place for that, fundamentally. That's not what they're for. Say what you will about Kirk but colleges are the ideal place for his smarmy Marketplace of Ideas schtick.

Then a group like FIRE doesn't even consider it a campus cancellation, because that was a conservative school that allegedly made it clear that they wouldn't allow anything like that (even if they hadn't actually made that clear)

Also, when libs do try to go to Liberty University or w/e and have an exchange of ideas, they get the campus police called on them and the students who invite them get disciplined, with the vast majority of the campus freeze peach apparatus saying not a thing.

libs don't go post up outside of Saddleback Church and do change my view debate videos because nobody fucking pays them six figures, plus a camera crew, plus security, to do so

i stg one of the problems with the modern pundit-pocalypse is their sheer *incuriousity*. everything is based off their first impressions, their gut instincts, their thinking from first principle. they gotta get that take out before they do any reading. what hath the Blog Era wrought, man

this is the sort of opinion that you get if you don't have the faintest fucking idea 1) how most right wing content creators make a living 2) what an evangelical church is like both of which are extensively documented and easy to just *read* about

And now, @gregsargent.bsky.social quotes the lone Dem FCC commish as suggesting that Chair Brendan Carr's action may have been illegal. newrepublic.com/article/2006... via @newrepublic.com

National day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk motion passed the Senate by unanimous consent. Zero Democrats objected, which would have stopped it. Tommy Tuberville is presiding — and smirking. www.c-span.org/networks/?ch...

my dude you can't even vote against a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk be serious for five seconds

Climate Week though amirite www.lohud.com/story/news/i...

Texas Man Indicted Over Series of Violent Threats to Mamdani Jeremy Fistel said Mamdani should "return to Uganda" before someone shoots him in the head. And, wished his wife and kids killed in front of him. Investigators tracked the calls to his personal cell and messages to his email account.

During today's episode of ABC's "The View," there was *zero* mention of the network's controversial decision to pull the plug on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

I strongly endorse this @gregsargent.bsky.social suggestion newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Olivia Nuzzi whenever someone runs the garbage disposal: I should call him

The Macrons know Candace Owens isn't just a troll, she's embedded in European far-right influencer circles. Her husband is the pro-Russia Brexiteer George Farmer, who was briefly also CEO of Parler. Brigitte Macron is dropping her trousers for Europe, gambling they can damage that network. 3/

Candace Owens' slurs about Brigitte Macron are just the latest in a series of attacks. In 2017, Jack Posobiec tried to throw the French presidential election to the ultra-far-right Marine LePen by leaking Emmanuel Macron's emails - the same tactic that had worked on Hillary Clinton in 2016. 2/

To all commenting on the news that the French first lady will show 'proof of gender' in court in her suit against US influencer Candace Owens: this isn't humiliation, it's calculation. US far-right influencers have been trying to take down Macron since 2017. He is judging now he can ruin Owens. 1/

“Federal probe into Trump foe Letitia James hits a standstill, law enforcement officials say *** One of those senior officials said ‘there’s not nearly enuf…evidence’ to show that James knowingly made false statements…” But the White House has “continued to push” for an indictment… 9/17/25 … 1/

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.

the next president's duty will be to collaborate with Congress to destroy the presidency, and, along with it, the judicial majority in favor of the unitary executive
