Nightmare boring rotation (though I like Taylor).

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

This is it.

Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans.

Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

If only Democrats showed the same resolve to destroy Fox News as Republicans do PBS and NPR.

πŸ’―. Last night Ava was saying what's the point of even trying to play a social game when the show is just about winning/losing comps at this point? This is some Temu Challenge shit.

The US far left hates the Democratic Party, especially centrist figures such as Joe Biden.

The US far right is in control of the Republican Party and US govt, enacting far right policies right now.

The party most pundits chastise for indulging extremism is the Democrats.

What a massive symmetry.

Controversial opinion: When it comes to US presidents, "blatantly breaking laws and violently violating people's rights" is a bigger deal than "is old," meriting greater public concern and a higher percentage of attention.

ITA Angela was horrible socially (and totally sabotaged her game but still lasted pretty far so good on her). I think we're all just craving some pushback on the inevitability of it all. My only hope for any sort of chaos is Ashely lol.

Very true... I guess we just need to wait for the inevitability of a Zach or Vinnie steamroll. At least with BB26 Chelsea wasn't the obvious front-runner for the *entire* game and we had Angela as an outlier who won a couple of things and didn't play scared.

Women’s status is very rapidly erodingβ€”in their civil rights protections, healthcare, access to the public sphere, and the cultural support for their independence and dignity. But there is no feminism: our public gender discourse is divided between transphobia and handwringing about man’s feelings.

No, you cannot accept fascism for just black people and think you can go on your merry IPOC way. No, you cannot strip trans people of rights and then attend your little LBG parties. No, you cannot enjoy religious freedom and sanctioned Islamophobia simultaneously.

Kiss my ass.

*Biden tries to forgive student loans*
SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it.

*Trump revokes part of the constitution*
SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Rep. Melissa Hortman killed, Sen. John Hoffman shot in 'targeted' shootings: Sources Two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot by someone impersonating a police officer, sources confirmed to FOX 9. Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were killed.

Two important things to note:

1) the most significant violence we’ve seen this year was not against ICE or Trump or members of his administration, but against Democrats

2) when ICE scoffs at people asking for warrants or for identification, THIS IS WHY THEY ASK

Made eye contact with Sean Penn while we were both waiting for our tables at a restaurant in Santa Monica. He’s a lot shorter than I expected.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVOβ€”Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

Text reading: I had to come down to Los Angeles for Work and ended up trying to help with the raid last night. As a Bernie usefully. Waited by the entrance for detainees 
We were repeatedly denied access of any kind, and eventually LAPD force removed attorneys ice. Also tear gassed a baby under age two. Today they told us to come back at eight to see the clients, but they ever refused entry to us as well as politicians, including Jimmy, Gomez, and right now. They’re releasing some kind of gas, so the Attorneys can’t breathe

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

violent attacks on Jews in the US don't help Palestinians.

authoritarian harassment and terrorizing of Palestinians in the US doesn't help Jews.

both of these help only fascists, who want to kill us all.

Andry JosΓ© HernΓ‘ndez Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.

No one has heard from you in 78 days.

As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Hijacking the world's biggest economy in order to carry out a $3 billion pump-and-dump crypto scheme is like taking over a nuclear power plant with armed commandos in order to steal electricity to power the kegerator on your back patio
