Tweet From Obama mentioning my firing from the Washington post. Wirh a photo of me

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama.

His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful.

Now he is tweeting in support of me.

This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*.

Or used to work.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Headline from the New York Times, 1939: “Goebbels ends careers of five “Aryan“ actors who made witticisms about the Nazi regime.”

To honor Charlie Kirk, a thread on his words about Jan 6. Let us cherish and remember them - which is easy since 41 of his sentences are "I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to testify". That is, Kirk thought his words could be used in a criminal prosecution. 1/

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".

Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.

So much free speech we can't take it anymore 🤨

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.

Is bluesky ever going to add bookmarks? 😕

Seeing lots of stuff tonight from Dallas Democrats and leftists about these arrests. No one seems to know why they were arrested. If it was for a genuinely bullshit or fascist reason, folks need to file complaints with the city's police oversight office. Link here: app.keysurvey.com/f/41562786/4...

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

Congratulations to all the 14 yr old Floridians & Arkansans whose governors want them to drop out of school & work 13 hour shifts to screw in tiny screws on iPhones so the tech/crypto bros in the govt can have the newest iPhones to react with a fire emoji to the classified intel in the group chat

My 12 y/o son was willfully ignorant of politics until he calculated the potential cost of a Switch 2 with tariffs. Now he is radicalized.

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

Leader Jeffries is threatening a lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for holding off on calling a special election to fill a vacant House seat in Houston, which Democrats allege is a deliberate move designed to help pad the GOP's razor-thin majority.

EVERYTHING IS SO STUPID

Wall Street bets discord is so goddamn funny right now

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling.

People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯.

America, we have a problem!
