Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

It’s fun to contrast dhs’ ultra fash nostalgia aesthetics on social with the reality that you would find higher fitness standards in a spin class on the upper east side

America First? No, Billionaire Buddies First Argentina: A very Trumpy debacle

The U.S. spending $20B to bail out Argentina seems completely random until you find out that hedge fund billionaires bet on their right wing government’s doomed economic plan and could lose a lot of money.

So this is actually a U.S. hedge fund bailout which explains why Trump cares.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Salesforce HQ as the Eye of Sauron for Halloween

The Salesforce tower eye of Sauron is going to hit different this halloween. 👀

"The original #NoKings protest was 250 years ago. We've had democracy since then. Now we have a would-be king who wants to take it away—King Donald the First. Fuck that. Stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18."

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials.

I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Being American is constantly being gaslighted that the left is divisive or Obama was a divisive president when the current president’s ordered his “Secretary of War” to send troops to American cities and bragged about not forgiving his political enemies while delivering a eulogy at a funeral.

Really important to internalize that the president of the United States is ordering troops into major population centers precisely to create violent confrontations, for the sole purpose of intimidating, criminalizing and disabling opposition

Sinclair is caving and bringing back Kimmel.

Money, folks. Public pressure. They dont have the numbers. Remember this and increase the efforts.

Teach every young person you know how to recognize people with true empathy – as well as how others who feign empathy in order to manipulate. You will save them heartache, years of suffering, and perhaps their lives.

MAGA, because it's a cult, doesn't realize the majority in America and around the world think today's spectacle was truly weird, sad, and unhinged.

In no way did it honor Charlie Kirk. It abused his murder as a political rally in honor of their King, Donald Trump.

Hella weird.

Do you realize how crazy it sounds to complain that comedians are making fun of the president more than they make fun of other people?

Yes, the most powerful, most famous person is a more common target of mockery than some legislator in the opposition party. Why would you possibly find that odd?

Does JD realize that Trump continuously makes him look like a complete dope?

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Exactly this

Pro tip to Laura Loomer who deleted this: The Internet is written in indelible ink.

If you did an obituary on Charlie Kirk that was just quoting directly in context what he was most proud of saying and doing, a lot of editors would say to revise it because it would read as being mean to a dead man

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."

As a bookish kid, I admired the Supreme Court for having the character to unanimously come out against segregation in the 1950s, when no other branch of our government would have had that courage.

So it saddens me to see it lose its way and endorse judging people for the color of their skin today.

Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”
