Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:
"With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely"
"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

“Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow & ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism, falsehood. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement, seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy .. the vision.”

Rabbi AJ Heschel

This is it.

Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans.

Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

Exactly. You don't have to celebrate it, but the worst thing to do in this moment is to give in to the inevitable right-wing framing as benign paragons of morality beset by bloodthirsty liberal kooks.

I mean J6 and Charlie Kirk's own celebration of Paul Pelosi's attacker are enough to prove that.

The motivation of the man who shot Charlie Kirk isn't clear (although he's probably mentally unstable--duh). What is clear is it was another example of American gun violence.

Apple executives who gave Trump inauguration money in jail? Really?

Tricia McLaughlin & @TriciaOhio 0... The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo's own actions and statements.

In an interview with Popular Information, his first with any media outlet, Hermosillo said DHS'. 's account was false. According to Hermosillo, he was visiting his girlfriend's family in Tucson from his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Several hours before his arrest, Hermosillo was transported to a hospital in Tucson by ambulance after suffering from a seizure. He has a New Mexico state ID, but did not take it with him during the medical emergency. After being released from the hospital following treatment, Hermosillo did not know how to return to where he was staying. He approached the Border Patrol officer because he was looking for someone to help him. "I saw a car, and I askled] him for help," Hermosillo said. He told the officer that he was staying in Tucson.

"You" re not from here. Do you have your papers?" the officer said, according to Hermosillo. When the officer asked where he was from, Hermosillo said he told the officer, "New Mexico." The officer then accused Hermosillo of lying. "Don't make me lout] like [I'm] stupid," the officer said. "I know you're from Mexico." After that, Hermosillo said, he was arrested. Hermosillo said that he never told the officer that he was born in Mexico, was a citizen of Mexico, or entered the country illegally. And he would not have said those things because they are not true. He signed the transcript released by DHS because the officer ordered him to "sign everything." But Hermosillo did not read it, because he cannot read. According to Hermosillo's girlfriend, Grace Hernandez, Hermosillo has learning disabilities and can only write his name. Hermosillo said he did not graduate from high school and dropped out after the 10th grade.

The officer also signed the document, which said Hermosillo "read" the document or had it read to him. But Hermosillo said no one read him the document. Other documents created by the officer have inaccuracies. For example, the criminal complaint says that Hermosillo was detained "at or near Nogales, Arizona." But Hermosillo was detained in Tuscon, which is more than 70 miles from Nogales. John Mennell, a spokesperson for the U.S. Border Patrol, said that it was an "unintentional" error. Hermosillo said he was detained with about 15 other men in a cell at the Florence Correctional Center. He was served only cold food. He said he contracted the flu because "they have it cold in there and everybody's getting sick." Hermosillo said he requested medicine but was not provided with any.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Paul Ingrassia & GP @PaulIngrassia Subscribe Generations of lawyers and judges, on both sides of the aisle, have been infected with a parasitical ideology that denies reason and common sense, causing irreparable damage to our judicial system. This is why a putatively "conservative" Supreme Court so often fails to uphold the most basic principles of constitutional governance. Nations require borders in order to preserve national sovereignty, define citizenship, and allocate rights. That 7 members, including 3 appointed by President Trump in his last administration no less, would choose to willfully ignore that most basic precept of national sovereignty, demonstrates that the Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America's ruination, rather than work alongside the duly elected president to help reestablish the RULE OF LAW. This is why the ongoing efforts to hold elite universities, law firms, and law schools accountable by the Trump administration is so vitally important.

The calluel mour fuulelat oyotell beg ho wil the poison taught by these institutions, which has infected even so-called conservative lawyers and judges with the same anti-Constitutional, anti-American, immoral ideologies over decades and decades. Law must be moderated by the virtues, including individual responsibility and wisdom. Its practitioners must have mastery over these virtues in order to properly execute the laws for a free and self governing people. That imperative was long ago abandoned by our educat onal institutions. The judges in law courts today, including the majority in the nation's Highest Court, telegraph with these decisions that they have no understanding of law and its proper function and role. President Trump is the first leader who has actually meaningfully attempted to reverse this destructive trajectory, and done so with the gravitas of executive power that will be sure to have a lasting impact for years to come. * johnny maga @ @ _johnnymaga • 1h As usual, Alito and Thomas are the only two Justices you can count on to uphold the integrity of our vaniahlia

Hey, John Roberts? The White House liaison to DHS is saying that you have no understanding of law and its proper function and role.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference.

The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Mike Lee tweets "name a fascist dictator whose agenda entailed limit the size cost and power of government." Elon quote tweeted it with a laugh emoji and an arrow hitting a bullseye emoji.

Perhaps if he had not spent so much time playing video games so that he could be the #1 video game player he would know that the answer to this question is "All of them."

Then fucking do something Chuck or finally step aside and allow for new leadership.

So out of touch he’s got to go.

You guys need to show up as the entire Dem contingent and try physically throwing them out.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

Exclusive | Tillis Assured Hegseth’s Former Sister-in-Law Her Testimony Could Convince GOP Senators to Vote No The North Carolina senator provided pivotal 50th “yes” vote to confirm Hegseth as defense secretary.

Tillis personally assured a key witness that if she signed a statement testifying that she believed Pete Hegseth had an alcohol abuse problem and was abusive to his second wife, it would potentially move three votes—including his own. Then he voted yes. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

"That’s the dual hermeneutic the populists use for evaluating the world. If you’re an expert who got one thing wrong, it damns you. If you’re a total lunatic crank who gets one thing right, it makes makes you bulletproof."

If you think only billionaires can control social media, You are absolutely wrong. Social media is completely dependent on its users. Think about why you do or did use FB, ThreadsTik tok or Twitter. It's because they have enough users. Take away all the "normies" and they all are worthless
