I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

Boston will not back down from who we are and what we stand for.

Bill Kristol please...you're our only hope...I know you have one more regime change in you

Performative authoritarianism. The goal isn't to accomplish anything. It's to terrorize.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

brad lander primary chuck schumer

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

Drowning out Proud Boys in Atlanta at No Kings Day. Part 1/2

US Veterans peacefully protesting Trump’s military birthday parade arrested at Capitol Hill. This is the moment a 80+ year old US veteran is taken away in handcuffs for practicing his 1st Amendment right. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsProtests (🎥 @gregjstoker.bsky.social )

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

Please watch THIS particular interview, shared by @prisonculture.bsky.social to get the play by play on what happened. Getting arrested for protesting is a king move, but that's not what happened here. This was a goddamned grab and sack. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUjf...

It will be a minor note in the history of all this but the utter inability of Schumer to understand what's happening and to respond appropriately is historically bad in its own way

Every time I’ve been forced against my will to see that stupid fucking photo of JKR & her cigar I’ve said “she looks like a cartoon villain” & I finally figured out which one

When will we as a society be able to move beyond Bill Maher

Speaking as someone who’s lived and moved in hippy-adjacent spaces for most of my life: the hard truth that you should not trust most new age people as far as you can throw them

Teenage me is in shambles over this. If Bill fucking Kristol is out here on the front lines you know things are BAD

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

Delaware strong

Even Pikachu is out protesting Erdogan in Turkey. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

this pic from the turkish protests goes insanely hard

HUGE protest against Elon Musk & Tesla in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on Saturday. For those who say protest doesn’t work, Tesla stock is plummeting, Tesla sales are crashing and many Tesla owners can’t offload their cars quick enough. #TeslaTakedown (🎥 Danned If You Do, via TikTok)

"the cure for the male loneliness epidemic doesn't exist!" me:

we have to find a way to win this because I refuse to accept a world in which the biggest assholes alive get everything they want

Trump won the Trump trophy in the Trump golf tournament at the Trump golf club. Incredible, truly.

And again WE AINT GOING BACK we meant that part. On big sandals 🩴 period.

Pennsylvania’s Mushroom Industry Faces Urgent Labor Shortage. Trump’s Immigration Policies Will Likely Make it Worse | Pennsylvania produces 69% of all mushrooms sold in the U.S., and its industry is highly dependent on immigrant labor.

Straight into my veins please

Walz: "The idea that the secretary of education would not know what IDEA is -- individuals with disability in education act -- that's like your mechanic not knowing how to put air in your tire. And she's in charge of this nation's education progress. It is catastrophic."

Hate to break it to y’all, but eventually… we’re gonna have to do something.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

This is the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.

Doomscrolling used to be about seeing scattered early signs and worrying they portend trouble down the road. Now it's the stock ticker of harsh, already-here reality in real time.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Hey, when random guys with no badges and no authority try to grab a protester and drag her away, that's when you put down the phone, get out of your seat, and fucking help her.

REUTERS: ZELENSKIY SAYS HE IS WILLING TO GIVE UP HIS POSITION AS PRESIDENT FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE, CAN EXCHANGE THIS FOR NATO

Listen to @radiofreetom.bsky.social! "Now that Trump has captured the intelligence services, the Justice Department, and the FBI, the military is the last piece he needs to establish the foundations for authoritarian control of the U.S. government."

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

If you know anyone in Delaware they need to be encouraged to call their state reps and Governor right now, and take to the streets. Musk cannot be allowed to get this money easily

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE is seeking personal taxpayer data at IRS, sources tell me. 🚨 Trump admin is pushing IRS to agree to an MOU that would give DOGE access to granular data on every taxpayer, business and nonprofit in the country.

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

In addition to being brave and the right thing to do, Sassoon’s letter points out that the Emperor has no clothes — it demolishes the utterly fatuous, transparently corrupt excuses for dismissing the Adams case.

I AM LOSING MY MIND. Musk just took FEMA funds out of NYC’s bank account?!?!?!?!??
