I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

It seems clearβ€”I think to everyone, nowβ€”that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

A leaked memo shows Trump is trying to deny furloughed federal employees the backpay they are legally entitled to after the government shutdown ends. This won’t be allowed to stand. And it’s because of a law he signed!

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

BREAKING: Stephen Millerβ€”both Trump Administration capo and de facto head of DHS, ICE, and DOJ, has just declared that peaceful protesters are "street terrorists." Under an executive order signed by Trump just days ago, that means he is saying that all protesters in America can be arrested on sight.

It is not insurrection to disagree with the president.
It is not insurrection to call the president a soulless piece of shit.
It is not insurrection to say a damp dishcloth would be a less destructive occupant of the Oval Office.
It is not insurrection to demand a better president.

The heinous nature of this comes from nothing but a place of pure evil. None of this should be happening, and none of it would be if we had a leader who cared about something other than cruelty, vengeance and hate. A blood thirsty administration intent on inflicting as much pain as possible…

There is a legal distinction, but Miller never studied or practiced law. The supremacy clause also doesn’t make the federal government all powerful- we have a federalist system, which Republicans used to believe in. Now they believe in wielding power, gangsterism, and thuggery.

πŸ“ŒTrump's ugly, anti-American Mussolini act at Quantico Tuesday should have ended it for this sickening man.
You should never get a second chance at openly rallying our military against the citizens they are supposed to defend and serve.
Just incredible how much this treason is being minimized.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as β€œState Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Absolutely nothing has changed. They still believe WE should not use it (and they get to define what is hyperbole and inflammatory rhetoric whether it is or isn’t). They however believe they can say or do whatever they want.

It’s only a matter of time before there is a Kent State or far worse episode.

We have a bunch of barely trained hop-heads encourage to unleash violence.

What happens after is anyone’s guess. But none of this should deter us from fighting for democracy and rule of law.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

❗️Ersin Celik, a Turkish journalist and activist aboard the Global Peace Flotilla, told CNN Turk that the Israelis tortured Greta Thunberg, dragged her to the ground, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.

Some 137 flotilla participants detained by Israel arrived in Istanbul on Saturday.

Trump & the GOP are not just saying they don’t want undocumented immigrants to have health care β€” they’re saying they don’t want millions of Americans to have health care if it means any undocumented immigrant gets cared for in an ER.
