Breaking News: Eleven Democratic elected officials were arrested in New York City after demanding access to ICE’s migrant detention cells.
What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
At one point Vicky Pebsworth asked what ramifications their votes had because she did not know what ACIP actually does.
The next Democratic administration is going to need a fully staffed and fully funded anti-trust department. It's day-one mission needs to be break up the media conglomerates that are trading editorial discretion for merger approval.
I love that this thing looks like a hollow plastic yard gnome that you could easily pick up and carry away by yourself
Trying to flatter dear leader with a golden statue, but they still gave him a double chin lol
This.
Target felt it. Disney should feel it.
Remembering all the discussions I had with @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social about there being no legal mechanism to declare a domestic group a terror organization when folks were asking why we hadn’t designated the Proud Boys a terror group.

MAGA is making fun of a blind person now
While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:
In short: Happy Constitution Day!
Turns out the fuck-your-feelings crowd has A LOT of feelings.
Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel is fired because of pressure from the White House.
With Trump declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization, it bears remembering that he once told us that the MAGA January 6 insurrectionists were ANTIFA.
Jimmy Kimmel has learned his lesson. by Susan Collins
One thing that bothers me tonight in particular is how so much of this is happening because of grand and sweeping capitulation by the media, by companies, by Congress, by people in power. Even when they don’t have to — they simply comply, acquiesce, and appease.
I did not think that threats and bullying would work this well, I have to say. Mea culpa.
Tonight's news makes clear that the legacy media is fully capitulating. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be fearlessly independent and pro-democracy. It will never bow down. It will never give in. It will never compromise Sign up now to support its work! hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
EXCLUSIVE: Jerry Greenfield, a co-founder of the beloved Ben & Jerry's ice cream company, resigned because he was emotionally "torn apart" and felt "muzzled" by parent company Unilever, his co-founder, Ben Cohen, said.
Checking in on this
Don't buy the canard that this is about Charlie Kirk. Abusing state power to lean on corporate leaders and get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because he told jokes about the president and made him feel bad was always the plan.
IL DOUCHE calls for cancellation of all late night television hosts who make fun of him. He is a small, pathetic, badly drawn caricature of a man.
Susan Monarez said Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to limit routine childhood vaccines this month — without any credible scientific data.
Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

BREAKING: Trump says he is designating “Antifa” as a “major terrorist organization.” Such a step being taken this way would be concerning enough, given what it actually is, but, given that Trump sees “Antifa” hiding in every corner of opposition, this could be an extremely alarming escalation.
Just talked with my wife, we are cancelling our Disney+ subscription. If you have one, I encourage you to do the same.
Grimy is the perfect descriptor.
How are they going to run a one-hour tribute if they're scared of quoting him? Will they just dub over the original audio? "Haiti is infested with DELICIOUS CUISINE. Their migrants are FEEDING your women and DELIVERING YOUR DOORDASH at night. They are coming for your daughter next WITH FOOD."
If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.
Defending trans people is obviously morally just and ethical. Beyond that it just is tactically the correct thing to do because the GOP is going to say the same thing about Dems no matter what and either you can respond with 'well my opponent has some points' or 'look at this hateful shit'

They’re literally doing “show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

man an official account using “evil” is jarring and unsettling
So, my lovelies...none of you are ever allowed to think you are bad at your job again. During a Congressional hearing today, the head of the FBI did not know who Dylan Roof was. No matter how hard you think you are failing, the FBI guy is failing way harder. Go forth and be kind to yourself.

“He healed the dog, and that dog was beside him the whole time. When they called the pound on that dog, it just knocked his spirit. When they took that dog, they took everything from him,” Dawson said. Zukatis was founded hanging in a tree on Monday. His death remains under investigation. 3/3
UPDATE: We now have a photo of the real Cory Zukatis, the homeless man found hanging from a tree in Vicksburg, Mississippi. There's also heartbreaking reporting from The Vicksburg Post: Zukatis was recently devastated after authorities took his dog from him and carried it to the pound. 1/3
If Pope Leo has not canonized Charlie Kirk by April 20th we will prosecute. by Pam Bondi
That must’ve been what I looked like yesterday at work. Just take this refresher course they said. It’s easy they said. Get to the quiz at the end and the questions are mysteries wrapped in enigmas that you must sort out to get the troll to let you cross the bridge.
Patel is saying the Epstein victims who have publicly said they were trafficked to other men are liars and are not "credible." Dems should file articles of impeachment against Patel tomorrow based on defaming those victims.
Honoring Charlie Kirk's memory by ruining the lives of anyone who accurately quotes Charlie Kirk

A social media user—wrongly accused of posting negatively about Charlie Kirk—was suspended from his job alongside a tidal wave of threatening messages and phone calls, sending his mother and sister fleeing from their home. trib.al/pOclcrP
I legit feel like I've gone insane.
New from me — There’s been a lot of ink spilled since Charlie Kirk's murder about the "right" way to honor his death. Getting liberals fired from their jobs and forcing devoted civil servants to resign in disgust couldn’t be a more fitting tribute to his life.
Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)
donald trump and the white nationalists that run his government want you to think that slavery was just fine www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
The reason this isn’t a big story for the media like it was when Biden mixed up a name isn’t because Trump has always been dumb or Trump has always been a dick or Trump has always been dumb and a dick; it’s because the media likes him
I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.
The shooter who is, in fact, very much alive no less.
Not lost on me that ranting about Soros funding media is not just a classic anti-Jewish conspiracy, it’s also the same tactic that Orban used.
To state the obvious, I was not paid by the Ford Foundation or Open Society to write the column, which is what Vance is alleging and he's saying he is going after those groups. Not the first time he's spouted conspiracy theories involving the Soroses to deflect criticism: apnews.com/article/jd-v...

They had kids, too.
I am just going to keep posting that the TX governor recently pardoned a political murderer. The dude texted "I'm going to shoot protestors", then went and shot a Black Lives Matter protester. He was convicted in a jury trial. Hard to find a more blatant example of celebrating political violence.
if u can please help my friend good pup fisher
I don't know how to get stories like this to be everywhere. There are hundreds or thousands of them, and yet we're drowning in stories about Ka$h trying to find a trans person who winked at Charlie Kirk's killer.
Trump threatens to withhold federal funding from NY if NYC elects Mamdani. An impeachable offense for any other president in any other era. In this one it’s just another Monday.
Remember, Trump keeps insisting that his presidency has made America more respected around the world.
WaPo firing Karen for posting Kirk’s own words in shades of WaPo firing Felicia Somnez for posting a straight news story about Kobe Bryant
This is as huge a scandal & blunder as this chaotic Administration has seen. The person who should be called to answer for it is Secy Kristi Noem. When a woman who loves the camera as much as Noem is nowhere to be seen for 10 days it’s b/c she’s hiding out. Media should be all over this.

“Hawaii is proud to stand with our West Coast partners to ensure public health decisions are grounded in science, not politics,” said Gov. Josh Green, who is also a physician. “As an island state, we understand how critical it is to protect our communities from preventable disease.”
Hitler was also the product of a democratic election.
This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Excuse me? What is “traditional political violence”?? Oh, it’s when Lindsey’s people in South Carolina kill black folks, isn’t it?

Elon, fresh off attempting to incite race riots in England is now trying to incite pogroms against trans people.
You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
This is not a new problem… MAGA dads need to start paying attention to their sons. Something is seriously wrong.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

NEW: Judge Chutkan orders the Trump administration to submit a declaration by 9p tonight explaining what the gov’t has done to keep the people it sent to Ghana “from being removed to their countries of origin or other countries where they fear persecution or torture.”
NEWS: There is a weekend hearing going on right now before Judge Chutkan, due to imminent risks of these people being re-deported from Ghana to their home countries.
Anyone else notice how quickly MAGA farmers and ranchers quit caring about losing their farms and ranches when they thought they had a transgender Democrat to hate?
Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.
Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.
This is an amazing excellent analogy. Civility in the service of evil is hollow.
Why does Brian want to murder homeless struggling US vets? And why is his employer OK with this?
That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words
At least 15 people including journalists and teachers have been fired or suspended for criticising Charlie Kirk online, Reuters reports. Free speech for us, not for you. #NorthKoreaShit
From an Atlantic editor. I cannot get over how the entire centrist hivemind is attempting to wish into existence a person, and a movement, that does not exist. You are journalists, you are supposed to describe things as they are, not how you want them to be!
