1A Freedom of speech was a guard against the federal government squashing dissent.

Big private money bought all the news outlets & can fire people for what they say.

Now that big money & Trump (& SCOTUS) have merged, the fed has been privatized.

Speech must praise Trump or be mired in $ lawsuits.

This is how the fall of dictators begins: they lose the loyalty of the military.

It is clear from the way the dissent was writtenโ€ฆfull of subjective insults of the lower courtโ€ฆthat this SCOTUS is full of MAGA loyalists.

But we knew that.

Iโ€™m liking Justice Barrett more than I hate her.

Excellent!

Now, will Trump comply?

The best way to get a Constitutional crisis is to ignore or mock the courtsโ€™ rulings.

Money.

It is the one and only thing Trump & The Broligarchs care about.

Hit them where it hurts. HARD!

Soโ€ฆwhat happens when Trump defies the courts?

What happens when he defies SCOTUS?

This nascent civil war will get very hot.

The only times Collins votes "no" is when the nomination will get a majority anyway.

When hers is the decisive vote, she always falls in line.

She's a profile in weakness.

Soโ€ฆcan those attacked on January 6 sue the ones who were just pardoned?

Itโ€™s all about the $, it seems.

Right.

Like none of the big corporations have ever lied to us before.

Like Apple CEO Tim Cook didn't just donate &1 million to Trump inauguration.

Itโ€™s not disloyal to side with Russia. It just means that youโ€™re Russian.

Musk, Trump, and everyone on the right are doing everything they can to rewrite history.

Nothing makes that easier than disassociating events from time.

Please Spare Me All Hypocritical Outrage Over Hunter Biden's Pardon The same movement that supports and celebrates a criminal, vulgarian insurrectionist who pardons his criminal friends now feigns outrage. Here's me playing the world's smallest violin.

Great piece from @wajali.bsky.social on all the "hypocritical outrage" from the GOP over the Hunter Biden pardon. He brings receipts:

If Kamala had won, easily the greatest.

Now, the goal posts have been moved.

What happens in the next month, and then years, may put him in the Chamberlain category.

Bullies & MAGA elites.

They say that weโ€™re arrogant and elitist. The fact is that we are just people of all backgrounds who believe that you donโ€™t have to persecute others in order for everyone to succeed.

And Iโ€™m staying on X so I can tell them to f off & Block them.
