A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnāt like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
I forgot point 5. I am not telling anyone to steal military aircraft. If you attempt to do this using a tiktok sea shanty as your guide I had nothing to do with it. Do not steal a military plane.
I cannot stress enough 1. this is deeply weird 2. the songs are generated using AI 3. I cannot fly a plane I do not know if the instructions are accurate 4. this is deeply weird
For those of you not on the clock app someone is releasing instructions on how to steal, fly, eject from and land F16s and Apache helicopters in musical form set to Pirate Shantys.

Once more the nation cries out for a man from Illinois to lead it out of a time of great peril.
Literally just last year while Biden was President, the Democrats spiked cancer funding for kids because the Republicans, egged on by Elon Musk, were threatening to shutdown the government. They all were tired because they wanted to go home for Christmas break and thatās that.
it is no coincidence that the worst fuckin people u know are utterly incurious, proudly anti-science, and completely lacking any sense of humor
"There is a clear parallel to the Luddites here, who were skilled technicians and clothmakers who werenāt worried about technology surpassing them, but the way factory owners used it to make cheaper, lower-quality goods that drove down prices."
This is a great start, here's a resource from the Daily Kos that has been tracking these for years. There are 57 parts and over 1400 names www.dailykos.com/history/user...

I am proud to announce that my bill, the bipartisan Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025 just passed @energycommerce.bsky.social unanimously. We must continue fighting for new moms and babies everywhere. I look forward to getting this to the president's desk.
This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times. (1/3)
Conservatives think black children are adults and donāt look away from that being the reasoning for legislation like this. Itās about whupping the ni****s and keeping them in line ā and several Democrats voted for this

weird! constantly bribing trump doesnt stop him from shaking down the media for more bribes. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
To me, that's preposterous.
Everyone knows what it is like to work a bad job and no ethical living under capitalism and all that. But this is an extremely active choice to be a horrible person.
It is honestly kinda funny how cartoonishly evil this is.
My free speech college president! She banned *all* dorm room door decorations because some students were displaying messages related to Palestine
That is, unless their speech is about Palestine, because Barnard will expel students in a heartbeat for that grievous offense.
You want to be alive, but they want you dead. Weāre a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.
It apparently doesn't involve any kind of civil rights for anyone.

Community Outreach = We need to give Jan Lee yet another opportunity to whine in public about how it's going to be harder for him to drive from Carroll Gardens to Chinatown. This is a broken process.
These timelines are so discouraging. Anne Hidalgo has transformed the entirety of Paris in the same amount of time it's going to take us to do one street.
Finally. Hopefully the city can do the sidewalk extensions in concrete rather than paint and planters. The planters usually end up hogging all of the added pedestrian space. bsky.app/profile/vinb...
Their Policy page doesn't appear to mention anything touching on civil rights, of any kind for anyone. The "Earned Benefits" section talks about "frontally addressing questions of deservingness", so I guess they're going to advocate for means-testing (i.e. killing) Medicare and Social Security.
Also in their "Health Care" section: "How do we ensure people are paying for what they need?" The fuck kind of question is this? How about "How to we ensure people are GETTING what they need?" You mendacious dimwits.
These fucking people. Love their "Health Care" section. "What do people really want from their health care coverage?" They really want their health care coverage to cover their health care, moron, but I'm sure you'll run polls and focus groups until you get an answer you like better.
yes, this is what the party needs! more rich assholes telling LGBTQ+ people that our lives dont matter and we shouldnt be fighting for them.
It really is absolutely fucking incredible how many people hear "do this thing but be sure to engage in some basic risk mitigation so you don't fuck yourself over" as "don't do this thing" even when you explicitly encourage people to do the thing as long as they have engaged in risk mitigation

Stunning piece. A horror movie of sorts. Will be familiar to anyone on the left trying to navigate the centrist American legacy media, albeit made all the more difficult when your bosses and colleagues all assume your people are by default murderous barbarians. bidoun.org/articles/hou...
Big congrats to all the Democrats who voted for the bill forcing the sale of TikTok... to some of Trump's closest allies. Big brain stuff there, guys. Great move. š Anyway, remember how Twitter became a far-right cesspool after Musk bought it? That's what's going to happen to TikTok.
Oh a forced sale to regime allies? Shocker.
This is what really convinces me he has dementia, more than anything. He didn't understand the question, so he lashed out.
look on the bright side: if youāre a tiktok hater (i am), if you have ever used a product that oracle acquired, you already know where this is headed

Hereās a spread in Museum of Degenerates, with art from January 2020, ft. Charlie Kirk and Ben Shapiro.

i have absolutely no sympathy for msm reporters getting screamed at by trump. jon karl, for instance, has gotten fucking rich off of trump shit. he has written 4 trump books. he's part of the reason this country is in the shitter. the msm made this.

![Daily Wire host Ben Shapiro said the āmorality of whatā Chip Gaines said in his reply āis insipidā and suggested that he is āviolating his own faith standards by promulgating a set of values that is un-Christian.ā He also complained that Gaines was critical of those āobjecting to the normalization of what Christians or Jews or anyone else considers to be sinful,ā saying their objections are ānot mean or intolerant. That is just saying there is a standard and the standard should be something that, if you purport to be an upholder of that standard, you should abide by.ā [The Daily Wire, The Ben Shapiro Show, 7/16/25] Right-wing podcast host Charlie Kirk replied to Chip Gaines: āYou messed up and you know it.

insofar as you can lump ādem leadershipā into a single group, i think a lot of dems, mostly in the senate, are not just underestimating the fury of the base, but theyāre also underestimating the likelihood that failing to harness that fury means *someone* will, and they may not like the results

Why, yes, C. Jeff, I have a question. Are you stupid?
On the contrary, they understand it very well, and their aim is to gut the civil service.
it will not shock you to learn that these fucking dipshits donāt understand how *this* works, either. chatGPT-ass government.
Good grief, if "undermining the dignity of others" wasn't protected speech, Kirk would not have had a career.

id feel a lot better if we had people advocating for us as strongly as the worst people in the world have advocates. but we dont. and in fact a significant number of the people we have purportedly fighting for us are fighting against us too.
much more true than it used to be: legacy media outlets mostly only have the power that other influential people give them. No one watches Morning Joseph except Democratic members of Congress. Nobody has to care what's in the WaPo opinion section

"As we all know, Americans do NOT care about the flag, their country, or the constitution. What they DO care about is our extremely boring health care proposal that maybe will change the price of 20 prescription drugs if you are on a specific Medicare plan in 10 years time."
I've seen some reporting of Democrats suggesting they can't make the shutdown about the constitution because voters won't be interested. Have these people like...talked to any Americans?
Hakeem Jeffries and the people who work for him are the problem with the Democratic Party and why Trump keeps winning.
Democrats simped for Charlie Kirk and now the right is using Kirk to further break the left. Perfection. And you could see it coming from a mile away and the Democrats still bent the knee.
