"The President Must Be Removed From Office"

Zeteo is calling today for Donald Trump to be democratically removed from office, via impeachment or the 25th Amendment. The evidence, as laid out by Zeteo's @andrewperez.bsky.social in today's First Draft, suggests he is unfit.

Go back to what now

This camera phone footage is an intimidation/recruitment video

The video's circulation is intended 1) to signal that "women who don't know their place" can be murdered at will with no concern for consequences.
2) to recruit others who want to be able to commit violence to uphold white patriarchy.

Renee Good committed gender insubordination: she didn't cower & grovel to male authority. Many women are killed for the very same reason all over the world. We just call it by the euphemism "domestic violence" instead of what it is: a campaign of political terrorism in which any man can participate.

If you whitewash white supremacy then you normalize it

Honestly if Disney feels like the material of late night comics are not “on brand” for the company (as some defenders of Iger have claimed), then maybe it should stick to amusement parks and get out of broadcast TV. I say this as a Disney shareholder. (And good for Eisner for speaking up!)

“The administration and its allies have used the notion that people are celebrating “political violence” as a cudgel to carry out the speech-chilling campaign.”

@premthakker.bsky.social unpacks the hypocrisy of Republicans suspending Jimmy Kimmel in the midst of Trump’s attack on free speech.

Matthew Dowd was fired from MSNBC for saying Charlie Kirk was "divisive".

Brian Kilmeade called for the execution of unhoused people with mental illness through involuntary lethal injection.

And kept his job

MAGA 3 days ago: Chicago is about to find out the meaning of WAR

MAGA today: the left needs to stop condoning violence

If listing cases of 2025 US political violence, one would include the Charlie Kirk killing, the Melissa Horman killing (MN state legislator), and the CDC shooting.
The president omitting Horman and CDC, but reaching back 8 years for a non-deadly shooting to cite, conveys approval of those shootings.

Yes, this is a must read. "The U.S. is drifting into an undeclared war of assassination across half a hemisphere, led by unaccountable officials who equate explosions with effectiveness." Also: "unlawful orders—foreign or domestic—must be disobeyed."

Thank you to Friends of the Everglades for standing up against “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Alllll the time. Constantly second-guessing and assuming I'm the problem. 🫠

Amen

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Last image of the Freedom Flotilla crew before being stormed by Israeli soldiers and kidnapped in international waters

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

Israel kidnapping Greta Thunberg, the Academy-Award winning co-director of the documentary No Other Land, and declaring Ms. Rachel an anti-semite for not wanting Palestinian kids to die.

Yup, this is how you win the world.

I just have to say for those of you not in LA that in the days before the horrible raids started, there was no crisis or whatever they would let you believe. It wasn't like something was escalating out of control and somebody had to step in. THEY are creating the problems.

You Literally Can't Believe The Facts Tucker Carlson Tells You. So Say Fox's Lawyers Fox News viewers don't expect facts from Tucker Carlson, according to network lawyers who defended their star in a slander lawsuit filed by a woman who said she had an affair with President Trump.

Their lawyers agree. "News" ain't news at Fox News.

The irony of all this is that the current administration is actively working to dismantle family planning including all reproductive health care & IVF.

So even if you CAN afford to have kids, they want to make sure you are birthing children for “good Christian families” and not able to raise them.

Your School House Rock moment......

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

I unsubbed from them a good while ago now but have still enjoyed watching TDR. This is THEIR loss. The main show is unwatchable. But we all know you're gonna be alright! Always enjoy your coverage. 🩷

This isn't anti-DEI - it's retelling history as a story with only white men in it. The tale of the Navajo Code Talkers is essential to understanding the Allies' victory in WWII. Removing it because the people involved were non-white is segregationism.
