Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Disney's ABC pulls 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' after FCC chair criticizes the host's Charlie Kirk comments The network confirmed to NBC News it is "indefinitely" pulling the show.

Trump admin doesn’t want anyone to hear what Jimmy Kimmel said:

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said

Vance: “Charlie Kirk never said Black women do not have brain processing power to be taken seriously. He never uttered those words.”

Kirk: “Joy Reid, Michelle Obama, Ketanji Brown Jackson — you do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken seriously.”

Sorry dude, even with context this is extremely racist.

Why is the right so angry? They control the entire government and they’re still miserable f*cks.

Joy Reid nailed it.

“Charlie Kirk in His Own Words”

17 quotes you should read from the right-wing activist and Trump ally who was tragically shot and killed on Wednesday in Utah.

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Earlier this year, Utah Republicans passed a "Campus Carry" law (HB 128), which allows individuals aged 18+ to carry a firearm, either openly or concealed, on college campuses, provided they hold a valid Utah Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP).

What Charlie Kirk thought about #empathy - in his own words. The video resurfaced as the Internet never forgets.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

POLITICIANS AFTER A BUNCH OF BABIES ARE SHOT:

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS!

Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store.

He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

This is never going away, is it?

This is so great. It's sort of like a "ghost bike" for the disappeared

Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

Trust in elections rises after ‘inoculations’ meant to preempt false fraud claims New U.S.-Brazil study points to ways of countering election misinformation, political scientists say

New study by @brendannyhan.bsky.social, @jasonreifler.bsky.social & colleagues demonstrates that prebunking election fraud rumors — by warning about anticipated false claims & filling conceptual gaps that those claims exploit — helps to reduce belief in falsehoods: www.science.org/content/arti...

TIL that the “sedative” police have been using on suspects is midazolam -- generic for Versed. It's the component of the anesthesia cocktail for colonoscopies etc whose job it is to keep your brain from forming new memories. Google “police using midazolam” and you’ll see how widespread its use is

I think one of the problems is that media has conditioned people to believe that fascism comes along with dark skies and ominous music.

People don’t recognize authoritarianism when they see their neighbors walking the dog on a sunny day with chirping birds.

According to Google AI:
Louisiana, Mississippi, & Alaska are top of the list for crime.
Do you see Trump sending troops there?
No, because they’re red states.
This is not about crime. This is about a fascist takeover of blue states to stop the midterms.
Stand up. Stand strong.

Trump wants to lock up people who desecrate the flag. Here he is violating the flag code by signing his name on it with a marker.

ABC: Trump has been planning for weeks to send the National Guard to Chicago to expand his anti-crime agenda and crackdown on immigration in major cities.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said Friday that such a move would be “uncalled for” and “unlawful.”

Are you really not familiar with the term “two-spirit”? You could maybe look it up

Tonight in DC at the obviously high-crime National Mall. So glad these goons were there (watch til end) to keep 62-year-old me and that bunch of grade-schoolers in line. Otherwise we’d all have been criming like h*ck.
