After months of cowardly capitulation to this Administration, Paramount finally got what it wanted.

Now it's time for companies, journalists, and citizens alike to stand up and speak out, because unchecked and unquestioned power has no rightful place in America.

I dissent. 🧵

"Trump is asking Texas Republicans to redraw the maps that they just drew in 2021 to get him five more seats to protect his majority in Congress, because he’s worried about losing it in the next election."

I wouldn't normally even link to "The Jersey Vindicator" for that reason, but the quality of the reporting here seems high. The hardline NIMBY quote from Jeff Tittel, former director of the NJ Sierra club is just amazing. Amazingly predictable I guess.

I don't doubt that this story by @jeffpillets22f.bsky.social is factually accurate, but I feel like I have to add the caveat that it appears at 'The Jersey Vindicator', a website that was set up by Krystal Knapp, who has lived in Princeton and been a long-standing supporter of NIMBYism here.

In Lambertville, development and housing plans spur a backlash against mayor and recall talk • The Jersey Vindicator Lambertville residents fear a 200-unit project by K. Hovnanian Homes on a contaminated hill will unleash environmental havoc.

Residents of Lambertville NJ, which is known as one of the most liberal towns in the state, are absolutely losing their minds because some new housing might be built. 😑 They may even try to do a recall on the mayor. jerseyvindicator.org/2025/08/07/i...

AG James has committed multiple sins in the eyes of Dear Leader. First, she’s Black. Second, she’s a woman in power, something his insecurity has never been able to tolerate. But she has also used the law to expose Trump’s systematic fraud and criminality. So she must be punished.

I urge others to take notice and find their courage.

Because if the First Amendment is to mean anything at all, it must mean that no government—regardless of party—gets to decide what is true, who gets heard, or which voices are silenced.

A government-sanctioned "truth arbiter" will soon arrive at CBS. Their role will be to ensure that journalists do not criticize this Administration or express views that conflict with its agenda.

This is a betrayal—not just of journalistic independence, but of the public trust. 🧵

Video shows Department of Justice official urging Jan. 6 rioters to 'kill' cops The Department of Justice hired a former Jan. 6 defendant who was caught on tape urging rioters to "kill" police. The department calls him a "valued member" of the administration.

Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Justice Department.

Police bodycam footage introduced at the trial of Jared Wise showed him berating officers on Jan. 6 and yelling "kill 'em." www.npr.org/2025/08/07/n...

To trump administration personnel who are afraid to step outside in dc, I agree that it must suck to be targeted randomly in the street by a violent gang of out of control thugs who want to take things from you and your family for no good reason, and don’t respect the basics of the rule of law

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship
