The Noble Peace Prize is not transferable. What are we even talking about?

Fair, but there are levels to this shit.

What he said: 💯 🎯

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Thank you @barackobama.bsky.social

The @washingtonpost.com, after 11 years, fired me for just doing my job — speaking the truth about political violence in America.

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

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.

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

Exclusive: Fed Governor Cook declared her Atlanta property as “vacation home,” documents show A loan estimate for an Atlanta home purchased by Lisa Cook, the Federal Reserve governor accused of mortgage fraud by the Trump administration, shows that Cook had declared the property as a “vacation home,” according to a document reviewed by Reuters.

Someone says "I think tax cuts for billionaires drives innovation and growth" and I'm gonna think they're stupid, but that's a "differing opinion"

Saying Black women don't have the "brain processing power" for certain jobs, Palestinians don't exist, gay ppl should be stoned...that's not "opinions"

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Opinion | Trump’s Most Fateful Teardown Is Happening Now

This is a terrifying but unfortunately realistic description of how well coordinated and effective the demolition of law-based democratic institutions and norms has been — and how far from an effective counterforce the fragmented and disjointed resistance has mounted

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Explain the Big Ugly budget bill to me like I’m five…

Seriously, this demo is a must see—anyone can understand it.

It's actually worse than that. Twenty-four states have multiple District Court subdivisions. New York, California, and Texas have four in each. In total, there are 94 federal judicial districts.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissenting in 6-3 SCOTUS birthright citizenship case: "It is not difficult to predict how this all ends. Eventually, executive power will become completely uncontainable, and our beloved constitutional Republic will be no more."

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

5 months in:

Less than 2 months after “Taco,”

2 weeks after the world’s richest man called him a pedophile…

1 week after his failed military birthday parade & the No Kings protests…

24 hrs after he was finally ordered to free Mahmoud Khalil…

…he’s bombing Iran.
That’s how scared they are.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

Trump Means to Provoke, Not Pacify Don’t give him the pretext he wants.

I know everyone's been breathlessly waiting for what I was going to write about LA.

We keep hearing the Trump-Musk saga reveals the split between tech oligarchs and MAGA. But they're largely in sync on crucial matters involving egalitarianism and the state. Trump/Musk mainly differ over how badly to screw the poor.
