If you’re an Islamophobe you don’t get to complain about antisemitism

And if you’re an antisemite you don’t get to complain about Islamophobia.

It’s really that simple.

(So many shameless hypocrites around.)

The technofascists think they have us. Nothing could be further from the truth. They will NOT take our country from us. They will not estrange us from its laws nor its rights. They will yield to the people. There are more of us, and we WILL be heard.

FYI this is going around seeming to be from me and Liz.

This is not from us.

Megachurch pastor and ex-Trump adviser pleads guilty to child sexual abuse Robert Morris to serve only six months in county jail after charged with five counts of lewd or indecent acts with child

Does anyone else wonder why so many of Trump’s advisors and friends turn out to be pedophiles? 🤨

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

Consistent with recent rebranding efforts of the Trump administration, the DOJ will henceforth be called The Department of Crime.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Kimmel didn't say that, but this Analysis explains why the story around Kirk’s murder is a smokescreen for a 75‑year rise of right‑wing terror. Can we afford to stay quiet? https://americanmanifesto.news/warning-we-will-be-decimated-if-we-stays-quiet

My son dislikes my new glasses, what do y'all think?

Don't Be Afraid To Speak Up Courage is contagious...and we're going to need it!

When they come for the comedians we should all be worried. joycevance.substack.com/p/dont-be-af...

All these people losing jobs through government pressure or actions, in media, universities, or elsewhere because of their public speech, should sue all those involved in those decisions in their companies, universities, media outlets. These are textbook First Amendment violations.

Hiding the truth.

Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday book is a horrifying document | Moira Donegan Conspiracy theorists wonder about what Epstein and his powerful friends may have done to cover up his crimes. But they barely were covered up

2 school shootings/2 weeks. Children died. Media barely covers it. Russia/Belarus threaten Nato countires, barely a blip

Epstein files/birthday book released glorifying abuse of women/children isn't a story after shooting in Utah-Yes I refuse to say hate cultivators name.

Believe Epstein victims!

So many people feel overwhelmed while scrolling and there’s a reason for that. Bots are a large part of the problem. We’ve been breaking down how to spot them. After tracking bot groups that push narratives and attacks, we found some common traits:

People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk Some GOP officials want to clamp down on perceived expressions of schadenfreude about Charlie Kirk's death. Conservative activists are publicizing social media posts that are "celebrating" his death.

It's extremely unfair to say the US right-wing learned nothing from the McCarthy era, when they clearly learned quite a lot.
www.npr.org/2025/09/13/n...

The number of people fired or suspended for speaking the truth about Charlie Kirk must serve as a reminder none of the far right are free speech advocates, they just want no limits on what they say.

Why do they keep saying Charlie Kirk was an advocate for free speech when he made a hit list of professors who didn’t say what he liked? I just don’t get it.

You know who also called Charlie Kirk a fascist and hated him and casually uses "gay" as a slur and joke?

Groypers and people who follow Nick Fuentes, the Hitler lover who dined with Trump.

Color me not-at-all surprised that the kid in custody, turned in by his family and not caught due to any particularly brilliant investigation, is a white conservative registered Republican son of a minister gun-nut. Right-wing cis white male violence is a problem.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.
