Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I have Issues with the concept of writers block, such that I wrote a post on it. kjcharleswriter.com/2019/11/13/w...

There are a ton of things you can do if you're struggling to write, and none of them require using the theft-based environment-ruining plagiarism machine.

Me an international Art Police officer grabbing a thief surrounded by his spoils. "I have you at last! Jail for you! For ten thousand years!"

Art Thief "But I'm using it to train my AI."

Me. "Me, oh, sorry, be about your business. I'll close the door on my way out."

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Der Eintrag im Ganzen ist außerordentlich lesenswert, weil so vieles, was wir heute von der angeblichen Mitte hören, dort durchaus anklingt: von dem Rassismus (Stadtbild) bis hin zu: wenn sie hungern werden sie schon auch arbeiten. Siehe Screenshots in den Kommentaren und Quelle weiter unten.

Zwischen „warum hat den juden keiner geholfen?“ und „Ausländer stören das Stadtbild!“ liegen was, zwei Wochen?

"Es ist empörend und ein Skandal, dass sich in der Hauptstadt des Deutschen Reiches 78.000 Juden [...] herumtreiben können. Sie verderben nicht nur das Straßenbild, sondern auch die Stimmung. [...] Ganz abstellen wird man das erst dadurch, dass man sie beseitigt." Goebbels, Tagebücher, 20.08.1941.

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

For those who missed it, here's my obituary for Charlie Kirk, a man who made the world worse every day he drew breath.

genuinely crazy that this is happening on behalf of charlie kirk of all people

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

It was never about FREE SPEECH. It was always about the protection of HATE SPEECH.

Reactions to ABC’s Pulling of ‘Kimmel’ Reflect America’s Partisan Divide Fans and liberals expressed anger while conservatives hailed ABC’s decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air after comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

Fans, celebrities and Democratic politicians expressed anger and disappointment after ABC announced that it was pulling “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from the air indefinitely, saying that the move amounted to censorship and was an attack on free speech.

This is an important time to remember that responsibility is not a zero-sum game — recognizing one person’s fault does not necessarily diminish another person’s.

The Trump administration is fascist. And ABC cynically caved and abandoned American values for money. Both are worthy of your contempt.

Moira Donegan is spot-on. This is the reality of America and Charlie Kirk. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Well, hard to compete with pussymango. 😄 (I remember your twitter bio was a joke on this, so I couldn't resist.)

There is so much of this bullshit happening rn. I try to ignore it because to a degree I get why people are angry and why they lash out. But how can someone even advocate for innocent people being pointlessly harmed, and then lead witch hunts harming other innocent people. The mental gymnastics.
