May Tom Homan receive exactly the same due process as he gave the immigrants he summarily deported to a gulag in El Salvador

People have been glossing over this statement by Brendan Carr

He’s not satisfied with forcing Jimmy Kimmel out

He’s going after anyone who criticizes Dear Leader

To me, it's just like: These people hate your freedom. I don't know what else to say. They hate the fact that you can talk back to them. They hate the fact that you can organize against them. They hate the fact that they cannot control what you say, think and do.

Well worth reading.

It seems fitting that when authoritarianism came to the US, it would express itself in the form of mad libs.

States Grapple With Fundamental Change in Food Stamps
Whether states can find the money in their budgets — billions of dollars in some cases — will have wide-ranging, and likely uneven, consequences for some 42 million recipients.

The future of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, is likely to vary from state to state. Erin Schaff/The New York Times

States are reeling as Trump and the Republicans’ murderous budget bill slashes SNAP benefits — hitting nearly 42 million people.
🛑 62% are families with children
🛑 37% include seniors or people with disabilities
🛑 38% are working families

This is an attack on America’s most vulnerable.

MARK MY WORDS: Geopolitics: both Russia and China now know how easy it is to manipulate Republicans and provoke them to violence. They’re going to flood the zone with false flag, cyber threats and hate speech, bots disguised as the Left. They’re already doing this, but it will increase in intensity.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled.

Not hate. Not celebration of death.

Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known.

Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

Even the Dutch are calling out the regime over here for the blatant attack on our 1A, and the personal 1A attack on Jimmy Kimmel.

Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.

Final ACIP update for the Covid vaccine:

1) Covid vaccines for all ages will be based on individual decision-making (no recc).

2) 65+ can just go and get it.

3) 6 mos-65yr, vaccine informed consent will be required to be discussed prior to receipt with 6 points of mandated misinformation

Questions Are Raised About Vaccine Panel’s Reliability as Policy Review Gets Underway

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

Pennsylvania mourns 3 officers killed, 2 wounded after police shooting. Updates The shooting broke out on Sept. 17 as officers were following up on a domestic-related investigation. A suspect was also killed by police.

I feel like I'm the only person who has heard of the police shooting in RURAL Pennsylvania, and if we had a competent democratic party they would use this given how much the GOP has painted cities as violent hell holes.

Part of the reason that media corporations are folding to the Trump administration is because they have no belief that Democrats will ever do anything to punish them. Dems offer no deterrence so of course they're going to do whatever gives them more access and money.

This is what the TikTok controversy has been about since Day One and Democrats perpetuated it.

i’ve seen center-right ppl say melissa hortman’s murder wasn’t equivalent to kirk’s b/c the media didn’t make a big deal of it…and for all the problems w/ that view, there is a kernel of truth. dems didn’t demand media attention for what was an obvious political assassination. they just expected it.
