CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation.

Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

Donald Trump is waging a fascist takeover of the United States.

Democrats are responding the only way they know how: by heeding the advice of the wonks who helped get them into this situation β€” and whose advice is to avoid discussing what Trump is doing.

What a great example of the exonerative tense. The person who wrote this (and yes, it's a person who should be held individually responsible) is a fascist collaborator.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals β€” Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Trump’s D.C. takeover: Not distraction. Dictatorship. | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, Atlanta and a new wave of U.S. mass shooters

From the Orwellian 'freedom-is-slavery' level lies to the military intimidation targeting Black people that will soon clash with dissent, everything about Trump's D.C. police takeover reeks of hardcore fascism

Not a distraction. The plan from Day One

The social ostracism from being associated with ICE has to become overwhelming. We have to show that anybody associated with them cannot be a part of regular society again ever

You might reflect on why you're running into a discussion to publicly announce you don't give a shit about the lives of trans people. You had near-infinite skeets to weigh in on and you chose this one in this way. Not great, man.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

As a former Cubs fanatic who peaced out permanently from following baseball in 2018 for these exact reasons, I feel this. I miss baseball but between Ricketts leading RNC fundraising and the whole Chapman-Russell nonsense, I could no longer enjoy it.
