He *is* a fascist, but you do not live in a fascist country and you have all the tools of democracy at your disposal.

I realize that this distinction makes people mad who want to live in a cool movie about fighting fascism, but maybe do the things that prevent that from happening

Trump, apparently misled by video of 2020 protests, threatens to send troops to Portland US president mistakes scale of anti-Ice rallies after TV report uses old footage from George Floyd demonstrations

Trump is literally sending troops to Portland because he saw news footage from 2020 and thought it was live. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

“The other Side of Hate” Choreographed by Sharon Simmons Wright and performed last night by the incredible ‘Just The Place Adult Company’ at Studio Theater in Exile at the Hudson Valley MOCA. This was an emotional, tremendous honor.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

I don't think the FCC's ham-fisted cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel will end free speech in America. None of us ever shut up, and that's a good thing. But this is definitely a nail in the coffin of broadcast television.

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.

This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

Congratulations!

BREAKING, from NY Playbook PM: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul will sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to prescribe and administer Covid vaccines to New Yorkers who request them.

So they re-released most of the same shit they gave the GOP binder crew in February?

Color me shocked.

Never thought I’d say this, but I’m with Massie. Release the rest of the damn Epstein files, not this cherry-picked bullshit.

Epstein survivors say they’re compiling their own client list.

“We know who abused us. We saw who came and went. This list will be survivor-led—for survivors”

Like I said.

They aren’t embarrassed by history, it’s their playbook.

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

this point—that this era is not forever and accountability can come in many forms—has for some reason proved bizarrely elusive for democrats

Lol.

John Deere laying off workers. Pepsi hiking prices. Sony raising PS5 costs. Electric bills up 10%. Welcome to the Trump economy. All going really well, right?

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

Ken Paxton is the most corrupt Attorney General in Texas history.

This malignant clown was impeached by his own party.

He has ZERO credibility on issues of law and order. Pipe down.

We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it.

You know who's NOT on the Jeffrey Epstein list???

JOE BIDEN.

Republicans love to tout the LGBTQ community as child molesters.
Yet now Trump is downplaying and covering up one of the worst child trafficking scandals ever uncovered. As an ex prosecutor I went after the rich affluent child abusers and there are a lot of them.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”
