Grateful for better ways to frame this moment. Thank you!

I’m sorry but the fact that this is not everywhere is kind of malpractice

The wrecking ball swings to and fro, smashing lives in every direction. Are you next?

My recent conversation w @hcrichardson.bsky.social has more views than many of the videos on Bari Weiss's The Fress Press.

I am independent, with no support, a janky setup, & started my channel recently.

Can someone give me $150 million, please?

Trump Opens the Door to Using the Insurrection Act and Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell

Trump and Stephen Miller are gearing up to unleash the Insurrection Act in a desperate bid to consolidate power and destroy their critics.

The people who are sincerely in favor of freedom of expression will speak out now for the reporters.

The image is an X post by Acyn (@Acyn ) from 13 hours ago, quoting Pritzker: "He's saying that Chicago is a war zone. None of that is true. They're just making this up. And then what do they do? They fire tear gas and smoke grenades, and they make it look like it's a war zone." The post includes a screenshot from CNN's "State of the Union" showing two individuals discussing, with a chyron indicating DHS officers fired at a driver who rammed their vehicle, later determined to be someone trying to storm the Presidential Palace, as the South Caucasus Coalition.

This is like planting evidence and then making an arrest.

With this level of pure deception, he truly should worry about God and a bolt of lightning.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

A nation trying to devour itself. It won’t be pretty.

I first read “fear gas” and it fits.

Wow.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

White supremacy: self-destructive, now and forever.

State supported terrorism enacted by useful idiots. Damn!

See? They need pizza, not a military intervention!

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Seizure of Oregon National Guard for Portland Deployment Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Saturday blocked President Donald Trump’s call-up of the National Guard for a deployment in Portland, saying Trump’s actions were based on false claims and undermined Oregon’s sovereignty. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

At least Trump’s out golfing and enjoying his paid vacation meanwhile, we’re on day four of a government shutdown.

Sad to see this come full circle.

Wrong

All this nonsense and EPSTEIN too!

@sanders.senate.gov on Trump lying that the shutdown is over funding healthcare for illegal immigrants: "This is what demagogues historically have done: pick on a helpless minority. Trans people, undocumented people... You blame them for all of the problems facing society. And the rich get richer."

So tired of the performative nonsense and the people who dream this sh!t up.

Listen to the women. They know.

Will the Supreme Court revisit its ruling on same-sex marriage? In 2015, shortly after the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage in Obergefell v. Hodges, a local county clerk from Kentucky made national headlines when she refused […]

Justice Alito swears he isn’t trying to overturn marriage equality, while the Supreme Court just so happens to be looking at a case that could do exactly that. Kind of like how Trump totally had no clue about Project 2025, right? 🙄

Dems are holding firm! Per The Hill:
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) failed to pick up any additional Democratic votes for the clean, seven-week funding measure, leaving the tally at 54-44. It needed 60 votes to pass.

And we are also reminded on this anniversary that it’s important for famous comedians to accept millions from the Prince to perform for him and flatter him about his free speech principles.
