It’s just stunning how much this administration despises the American people.

So the rumors of JD and Usha’s divorce might have some truth to them…

Make no mistake, she smells the political winds turning against MAGA. She’s a savvy politician who understands that the tides are turning.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

There’s something deeply ironic that a billionaire, who sponsored the destruction of a historic building owned by the people, went to his personal newspaper to create propaganda to justify said destruction with semi-intellectualism and white washing all to appear as a “man of the people”

Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™”

He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits.

But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.”

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

There’s entire courses in criminal justice classes about this, which evidence is easier to falsify and which isn’t. The percent of this happening is practically their entire brand.

Otherwise - 100% on board and I love the pod 😬

As a suburban white lady with a penchant for true crime, there is decades worth of precedent of both the FBI and local police falsifying evidence and testimony, even with all the witnesses being present. There are several dozen of small and large cases where they’ve done this, even recent ones.

A post just for @timmiller.bsky.social - who I absolutely adore and look forward to listening to every week - as I listened to todays Next Level pod, while I agree with *everything else* you said about online culture, mental health, binary choices etc, there was one point that had me struggling…

I just learned about you through this incredibly unfair and hypocritical incident; however, I’m glad I learned about you so I could enroll in your fall virtual course. I’m excited to learn more from you in October

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I like this one: “History shows that even the most powerful regimes fall when ordinary people stop complying.”

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Newsflash, Wannabe Dictator:

I don’t care how many times you shake the Etch A Sketch trying to redraw these lines. I’m not disappearing.

I’ll be back, still on your behind every step of the way. (1/2)

Noticing a pattern here.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.

Meiselas: First off—people who are alpha don’t go around calling themselves alpha.

Look, where I grew up, my dad would say: Being a man means standing by your word.

Being a man means you push back against the bully, and you uplift people. You don’t punch down at marginalized communities.

ICE agents are evidently miserable. Good. They should all quit. If they don't, they're signaling that their love of kidnapping people and throwing them into concentration camps where many of those people are likely to die is greater than their misery.

F*ck you.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
