Remember, when it comes, it's the MAGA REPUBLICAN Shutdown.
It doesn’t help when the head of the FBI is fanning the flames.

But before any of that, kill the merger that this was actually all about. 🤦🏼
Exactly!
ABC & Disney first capitulated to a lunatic regime, then learned that what they really needed to capitulate to is market forces. No corporate spines to be found here. But spines galore among the resisters who just reminded the corporate world that their consumers make their world go around.
Beyond tragic that Americans who have enjoyed the benefits of democracy can so easily capitulate to the lunatic whims of a mentally ill autocrat & turn so viciously against people who believed in the dream so strongly that they risked so much to be here.
Me! Me!! I agree!!!! 👋🤚🤙🖐️✋
I took paracetamol (Tylenol) when I was pregnant and my son is now a quantum physicist.
FAN-F*CKING-TASTIC! Even better if Disney & ABC actually flex their corporate spines against orange taco (not holding my breath, though)
GREAT NEWS: Disney says 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' will return to ABC on Tuesday! How does that make you feel? 😁
Jimmy Kimmel is being brought back for the same reason he was suspended: Corporations only care about money. Which is why boycotts work.
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!
ICE denies using excessive force in Broadview, Illinois. Never mind the videos…
One of my favorite moments in the history of free speech: Larry Flynt publishing a satirical Campari ad featuring Jerry Falwell Sr. as an incestuous drunk who first had sex with his mother in an outhouse. Falwell sued. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court found that satire is protected speech.
This is your daily reminder that reading fiction helps you develop as a person and reinforces your ability to empathise with people, so no, fiction isn’t a waste of time. On the contrary, reading fiction makes you more human.
Rabbit, run
Three police officers were killed and two were wounded yesterday in Pennsylvania when a suspect opened fire. Police had just arrived to serve a warrant for a domestic-related incident. No one is safe in a country where dangerous people can so easily access guns —not even our law enforcement.
This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.
I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
Earlier this week, a court struck down Florida’s ban on open carry 🚨🚨🚨 This means that anyone can now carry a gun in public in FL without a background check or training—no questions asked. It’s a threat to every Floridian’s safety.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
#DV1 #ProudBlue #Pinks 🧵Just days after Fox News host Brian Kilmead said that homeless people should get "involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em.," there were TWO mass shootings yesterday at homeless encampments in 1/4 abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu...
MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.
Kash Patel gets slammed by House Judiciary Committee Democrats today, just underscoring his incompetence for the job as FBI Director. I highlight some of Patel’s most egregious statements about the Epstein Files & critique the sham questioning by Republicans. youtu.be/0D9bn-Rf-vU?...

Senator Bill Cassidy has just announced that Senator Mullen (R, verbal abuser and liar) has admitted he LIED when he said the meeting between Dr. Monarez and RFK Jr. was recorded. She stood by her testimony in the face of these lies and abuse. Mullen should be removed from office for this.
WHO AGREES?! 🤚
Marjorie Taylor Greene says “nobody can afford anything” then brags about voting for a “big, beautiful bill” she didn’t even read. That’s not leadership. That’s chaos.
Demartravion “Trey” Reed’s death is a tragedy under any circumstances. There are disturbingly familiar historical markers. Delta State and local law enforcement owe his family, the students, and the broader community full transparency and swift action. Skepticism can only be countered with facts.

If Jesus were to return today, He’d be an immigrant and arrested by ICE.
Don’t forget to vote, Minnesotans! Today’s special election will determine who fills the state House seat after Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June.
Klobuchar: “I actually don’t want to go tit for tat on this, but what I am asking for is that this rhetoric of blaming one side or the other, stop, if you could convey that to the president, and that we actually work on things that are solutions. Could you commit to do that?” Patel: “Absolutely.”
Nexstar Network removed all private equity-backed members, signaling pushback as buyout firms roll up residential services businesses nationwide.
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
High prices. No relief. Zero yardage gained. Another fumble from the Trump Admin.
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
We can multitask. No distractions.

Just an observation, but the concept of free speech, a right guaranteed in the constitution, seems to have died in the aftermath of this shooting. It feels like, in a nation with more guns than people, that the 2A killed the 1A.
Sadly, there's not a day I could post this where it would apply. Fuck 'Thoughts and Prayers.' How about background checks, banning assault weapons and actual gun laws that protect our children? Oh sorry, I forgot, there's $$$ to be made, so that won't happen. www.gunviolencearchive.org
We still want the Epstein Files released.
Americans have short memories—keep reminding them. PLEASE SHARE!
Why did they cancel law enforcement press conferences and send Patel and Bongino to Utah? Did they catch someone and don’t like his motives? I feel a bit nuts even thinking this, but I don’t trust Patel or Bongino. I feel like they’re not gonna be honest with us about the shooter.
Assassination isn't the only form of political violence.
Threats were just called in at the DNC and HBCUs across America. We must come together, and with one voice overcome the forces of hatred that seek to divide us. Trump is stoking the flames of hatred and violence but we can’t succumb to it.
Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.
You can’t scrub away the truth.
BREAKING: A majority of Brazil’s Supreme Court panel has voted to convict ex-President Jair Bolsonaro for plotting to overturn the 2022 election
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
Time for some common sense gun laws. Democrats should introduce a bill named the Charlie Kirk common sense gun reform bill and make every Republican vote for it.
JUST IN: Activists revealed JD Vance was an early investor in Acre Traders. They buy distressed farmland. He still has NOT divested as Vice President. Farmers, guess who profits from you going bankrupt? The guy you voted in is taking you for a ride… Simple as that.
Good. Traitor.

Trump rolled out the red carpet for Putin on American soil just weeks ago. That emboldened Putin, leading to the attacks on Poland right now. It’s not a stretch to say that Donald Trump is fanning the flames of a world war.
One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys. Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman. There is no justification for this. None.
I’m honored to serve on the new January 6th subcommittee alongside and Rep. Swalwell @repmoskowitz.bsky.social. Together, we will defend the Constitution, protect the truth, and make sure the American people never forget who was responsible for the defilement of the Capitol.

JUST IN: A lawyer for several workers detained at a Hyundai factory in Georgia says the South Koreans detained by ICE are here LEGALLY, and only planned to be here a few weeks to install equipment. They are gonna sue Trump into the ground… GOOD. 😎✨
@leahlitman.bsky.social said it best: “Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups."
Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Chicago, do your thing! You know how to make things, uh, UNCOMFORTABLE 💪💙🇺🇸
Read this thread. LA made life a living hell for ICE until they gave up and ran away. Every other city they target can--and will--do the same
