They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech”

After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls”

And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

New plot wrinkle!

New review day!

This time delving into the survival horror journaling game Cinderedge by @quasigrant.bsky.social where no matter what you do, you'll eventually die in a fire. It's atmospheric, poignant and very unsettling.

Mountains of Madness in stop motion.

Make it exist!

Fascist shit is being done by the Trump *regime,* and he's signing the documents, but I don't think he's really in charge anymore.

I very strongly suspect *several different people* believe they are in charge, and though none of them really are, they have enough access and position to do shit.

100%

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

It may be—for now—a mild form of fascism. Political opponents aren’t being jailed or shot, entire opposition media outlets aren’t being shuttered, and books aren’t being burned.

But from Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America. trib.al/a0i8hTE

Your Friday reminders:
1. Trump is using all the powers of the US gov't to take vengeance upon his enemies.
2. He is the president of white racists, not America.
3. It's American companies that pay Trump's stupid tariffs.
4. Puerto Rico is an American territory so Bad Bunny was born a US citizen.

So scared of democracy they are keeping entire House of Representatives closed.

You're grown up. Cake is a viable breakfast.

To “make” the proof. Jesus.

Gotta be a less dystopian way to put this

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Just a reminder that Jack published a book last year called “unhumans” that makes the argument that all Democrats and anyone left of Francisco Franco should be rounded up and murdered en mass for the rest of the populations entertainment.
Jack is a Nazi and hell bent on the murder of his opponents

Portland is so good at trolling these fascists.
