BILL OF RIGHTS STATUS ❌ First Amendment ✅ Second Amentment ❔ Third Amendment ❌ Fourth Amendment ❌ Fifth Amendment ❌ Sixth Amendment ❔ Seventh Amendment ❌ Eighth Amendment ❌ Ninth Amendment ❌ Tenth Amendment Things are about to get very, very dark in the US.
Here’s how Jimmy Fallon responded to Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off air:

Each one probably packing a go-bag.

Did you know that the Heritage Foundation is a nonprofit and they're not supposed to be involved in our government politics. They're the ones moving the pieces on the board right now. Take this seriously. Every act we make against their regime matters. In fact, it is crucial.
So just to be clear, we all haven't forgotten that the current President whipped up a mob and tried to have them murder his political enemies at the Capitol, right?
Pay close attention, parents!!

Spot on. The First Amendment in on death watch right now. Ht @johnfugelsang.bsky.social
You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.
Tough time to be a First Amendment law professor.
People out there learning companies aren't righteous just because they have friendly brand (Target) or sell happy stuff (Disney). Better late than never, but probably could have learned that lesson back in the Harvey Weinstein / Miramax days.
First Amendment to the Constitution violated: OK that's the end of the United States. We're done; we're cooked. Article One, Section Nine of the actual Constitution violated for months on end: Yeah, I can understand how that might be a little aggressive, maybe a strongly worded letter or something.

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.
In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.
Things are so bad white people noticed.
Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."
Corporate media: What if we tried appeasement? Does anyone know if someone's tried appeasement before? Did it work?
Remember, MSNBC fired Matthew Dowd a week ago, none of these networks are on your side. They want to make money and appear to have the ‘illusion of resistance’.
evergreen post
if these companies would just put out a statement saying “we told him to go fuck himself” they would instantly have the type of loyal and dedicated customer base corporations dream of and spend decades trying to cultivate
I haven't done an actual count, but I'm guessing my 'likes' are, roughly, 50 percent photos of cats.
Love the spirit of this. And truly an optimist to be so confident we'll be having elections.
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." —Theodore Roosevelt
Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the best yet commentary on last week's events, while pundits, politicians and others have disgraced themselves in their whitewashing of of this man's legacy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...
An exchange between Susan Sarandon (Christine Starkey) and Kevin Kline (Nick Starkey) in 'The January Man' — Christine: "You loved me." Nick: "No, I loved an idea that looked like you." That's the thing about the U.S., right? We love what we imagine the U.S. is, or was, or could be.
First, they came for - Hold on, someone's knocking at the door. Brb
Saying there's no place for political violence is absurd. Probably some of the people saying it know that it's absurd. Political violence is the main narrative thread in — I'm guessing — half the stories that make up world history. And whatever that portion, it's WOVEN THRU THE REST of the stories

Seems like a good day to post this. Dig at the root of the problem (fly the flag on foreign soil) It breaks your new dreams daily (H-block Long Kesh) Father's contradictions (censor six counties' news) And breaks your new dreams daily (each day more deaths)
I'd say 'Blast the Human Flower' by Danielle Dax is not much like anything else in my library (or anything else I can think of really...)
the dems wont even criticize fox news for their dominion lies
Had we acted like the coup was a coup and a crisis we wouldn’t be here
A govt doesn't need to persecute or terrorize or harm a great number of people in order to make a great number of people afraid.
great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system
Trump punishing Kimmel because he literally played back what Trump said, is peak Dicktator.
Everything needs to shut down. Democrats need to not fund this oppressive government which is being used by Trump to oppress Americans. National Strike. Boycotts. This country, especially Trump and his billionaire friends, worships money. Green trumps the color White. Gotta shut it down.
Semi-regular reminder that your local public librarian has more of a spine and a stronger moral compass than an executive at ABC or CBS.

Consistency is the hobgoblin of sane people.
If other officials had half the courage of Susan Monarez maybe we wouldn't be in this RFK Jr hellscape
Lotta people on the discover timeline mocking Trump for declaring Antifa a terrorist organization because Antifa is not an organization at all. But what worries me is the thought that this is not an idiotic error. That, instead, this is the point of the spear: anyone can be labeled Antifa.
Look, folks, I don't make the rules.
White people finally seeing in real time what we tried to warn them against. Project 2025 wasn’t a joke. But here we are.

Late Wisconsin Senator 'Fighting Bob' LaFollette, a century ago:
Knew the Democratic leadership was too trusting, too willing to believe Republicans could be made to act in good faith, too 'nice' But never thought they wouldn't stand up: wouldn't lead protests themselves ("put on comfortable shoes" as Obama said), or call a general strike. We're in a bad place.

People out there still so certain we're going to have midterm elections.
Well, I think we have confirmed that the revolution will not be televised
Holy SH!T¡
You can never appease a tyrant.
For me, the first steps would be that someone with real clout (Newsom, Pritzker, Obama) would literally lead marches — marches every day — and also the Democrats would call a general strike. Everything shuts down.
🎯🎯
All the right words, but ... we have PROVEN that at least one elected official is above our constitutional rights. We've proven it. We looked at a difficult path and turned chickenshit. It would be helpful if we admit this and ask, What do we do now?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air. This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.
I can’t tell you how many people who identify as conservatives told me I was being dramatic and overreacting to Trump winning the election in 2016. FYI: I no longer associate with anyone who supports Trump. I wasn’t overreacting and here we are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover by Trump.
Exactly this
We are "in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” - Heritage Foundation president, Kevin D. Roberts said that shit out loud, right to our faces, yo
3/3 As his posts grew more dire and hysterical, Max Howroute was alternately ignored, bullied, threatened, jeered at — and he was finally banned from Twitter. But Max Howroute was right.
2/3 ...Chinese authorities bulldozing roads out of Wuhan, commercial airline cabins full of people in hazmat suits, streets being fogged in the middle of the night, citizens padlocked into their homes. He posted videos, hugely viral until they were taken down, allegedly for copyright infringement.
When I think of 'silencing' I think of this: 🧵 1/3 In Jan. 2020 a Twitter user named Max Howroute, apparently a freelance filmmaker, started tweeting apocalyptic posts about a terrible disease spreading out from Wuhan: people dropping over on the streets, patients lining hospital hallways... >>>
youtube.com/watch?v=gE7x... Don’t act surprised when you get martial law instead of midterm elections #resistortunes They’re going to do whatever the fuck they want to do and there’s not fucking thing you can do to stop them.
I can’t repost this for some reason but America joined WW2 2 years AFTER Canada. Americans are stupid and poorly educated.
Violence is never the answer. Also check out this blooper reel of us nuking Venezuelan sea vessels.
If I get one more email from the Democratic Party with the subject lines 'Crying tears ... of Joy' or '500 percent match' I'm going to have an aneurism.
At some point every American will have to march on DC or their home state capitols and We The People will have to shut everything down in this country until the Pedophiles resign or they are chased back to Moscow. 🤷 #1776 #EpsteinFiles
Significant point 👇
If you were reading the history of an empire, and you got to the chapter where the obviously corrupt leaders banned their heavily armed population from criticizing them in any way, you are probably getting to the end of the book.
A sneak preview of coming attractions.
Awful that ABC capitulated to the authoritarian gov't and suspended Jimmy Kimmel. Bad day for freedom of speech. And also, almost 59,000 people — whose names we generally don't know and wouldn't recognize — are imprisoned in I.C.E. detention facilities. About 3/4 have no criminal record at all.
murder on unidentified vessels on the high seas. ha ha. as they say.
Judging by artistic merit, the person who wrote those texts is the same person who photoshopped Kilmar's knuckles
A good day to launch a Democratic Party-aligned think tank devoted to attacking the ACLU.
A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
About Jimmy Kimmel — Part of me thinks it's Trump being butthurt sooo easily. He really is America's Snowflake. The bigger part thinks he was showing he could. That he can hurt anyone for saying anything, that billion-dollar broadcast networks will bow down. Little to do with Kimmel particularly.
People misunderstand the 'Don't Tread on Me' folks. They didn't mean don't tread on anyone; they meant don't tread on them only and in particular.
