Don't forget that Facebook worked with Cambridge Analytica to throw the election to Trump the first time. Zuckerberg was so afraid of a deposition that he got his company to pay the SEC $5 billion so he could avoid the deposition. Musk and Zuck did more than change the algorithms the 2nd time.
This is how business is now done in Trump's America. GOP grifter funneling money to another GOP grifter with a generous kickback, of course. ABC and Kimmel should sue Sinclair for extortion. And Disney should pull all their shows from Sinclair affilliates.
Awww! #RIP “Claudia Cardinale, alluring star of 1960s cinema, dies at 87 She had major early roles in Federico Fellini’s “8½,” Blake Edwards’s “The Pink Panther" and Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon a Time in the West.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2025/09/23/claudia-cardinale-actress-dead/
I knew it. I posted the other day that Sinclair was out to squeeze Kimmel & get him to donate to Turning Point. Here it is: Sinclair argued that the suspension was “not enough” and demanded that he apologize and make a “meaningful personal donation” to the Kirk family and Turning Point USA.
I get boycotting Disney for doing a bad thing. But if they undo that bad thing and we continue to boycott, we lose leverage. If we're going to boycott no matter what they do, we cease to be a factor they consider when making decisions. This is why we win battles but lose the war. Be strategic!

Let's combine the fact that the UN said someone directly in front of Trump shut off the escalator and that yesterday he effectively blamed women for autism. 🤔
Fascist governments have the same objections to free markets they have to democracy: neither are subject to top-down control by the state. Both allow for individual choice and pluralism. 4/
“One of the most depressing 35 mins of my life… the way we’ve decided to treat each other on these panels like we’re enemies…” In which being on a panel (with Kari Lake) understandably bums out @timmiller.bsky.social , who says stop blaming entire groups for an individual’s deranged actions.
Trump is a tyrant In 8 months he's lost all the diplomatic goodwill America built up over 80 yrs. His tariffs, threats, betrayals, blocking Abbas from attending the UN assembly. He is so fucked up, there are now talks of setting up UN HQ elsewhere to prevent US from pulling more lunacy like that.
#Epstein "said he would destroy the York family & he was quite clear on that. He said he would destroy me. He wasn’t shouting. He had a Hannibal Lecter-type voice. It was very cold and calm and really menacing & nasty" […]
🤨 I'll believe it when I see it.
Look how magnified the words are for Trump and he still can't read. Notice, too that he has to follow the words with his fingers like a 4 yr old. It's called finger tracking, which just shows Trump is mentally challenged. Kids stop doing that by the second grade.
Trump always wanted a monument and now he got one. A statue of him and Epstein has appeared on the National Mall. And a 12 ft statue, just like the age they preferred their rape victims. Release all files. Pedo Trump has now been memorialized.
They'll blame Tylenol
Gaddafi was so insane even Reagan dubbed him the Mad Man of the Middle East. His UN speech in 2009 was considered one of the most lunatic addresses in history. Trump just oudid him. Mad Man of the United States. That should be the headline.
DId anyone time Trump's lunatic speech? They're only given 15 mintues to speak. Gaddafi blubbered on for over an hour. Did Trump beat that too?
This is a really great piece on the import of shame.
Two things abt Trump's temporarily dismissed lawsuit v NYT escaped notice: 1) Trump DIDN'T contest the most damning things in a @peterbakernyt.bsky.social article cited. 2) Trump asked for $5B more than he did last year, claiming his brand value has ballooned. www.emptywheel.net/2025/09/23/d...
🔴 🙉 Karolying Leavitt 🙉 🐥
Remember when Obama disgraced the Office of the President by wearing a tan suit. Here is Trump literally telling every nation “you’re going to hell,” and saying it as if he’s absolutely bored out of his mind. It’s humiliating and infuriating to a degree hard to comprehend.
The entire UN assembly should have just left the room. Trump doesn't deserve an audience or platform. He's a batshit crazy luntatic, and a child rapist to boot. The world needs to start walking out on him. The US needs to do it asap.
So now Climate Change is a Con? What does that mean coming from the most accomplished Con Man in history?

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

A Utah MAGA truck driver was ordered held without bail after two young girls were discovered locked inside his refrigerated trailer following a traffic accident in Lindon, Utah. The girls were 12 and 14. Another Republican pedo.
The US is on the verge of one-party media. If Ellison also gets Warner Bros., it will become unprecedented media consolidation.
I will write more tomorrow. The lawyers will write more tomorrow. But naming the non-group Antifa as a terrorist group is not what, legally, Trump claims to be doing.

Trump is neck deep in the Epstein files. Do not let up. He's utilizing every lever of power and all tools to keep it hidden. Don the Con Mango Mussolini Tangerine Toddler Diaper Don Soon we'll be able to call him a child molester too.

I just want to point out that for every quote by any elected Democrat that Repubs keep using as proof of left-wing violence, Charlie Kirk, guaranteed, said something 100x worse. Republicans know it.

Remember the story from 48 hours ago when the president publicly told his attorney general that she needs to prosecute his political enemies? Neither do our most read newspapers. Today’s front pages. Agenda setting is media telling us what to think about. They are telling us to think abt Kirk.
Local magnitude 4.3 earthquake in Berkeley last night. Here's a screenshot from the plot generated by my Raspberry Shake seismometer in the basement.
I've said this before, but IMO we need to spend less time OBSERVING that Trump is engaged in authoritarian corruption and more trying to use language to build pressure to stop it. Same with Tom Homan's bribe. Yes, it was a bribe. Who can we embarrass politically for letting it happen.

Why was there only a small trickle of blood on Charlie Kirk's neck and nowhere else? Why has no autopsy been released? Why did they match DNA with the towel but not the rifle, the actual weapon? Why is no one in the media questioning a single goddamn thing? #SetUp
Nexstar and Sinclair should be losing viewers on all their stations. Just go to Wikipedia and search Nexstar and Sinclair. It will list stations owned by them.

Hey, this is a good question, actually.

🧵Occam's razor with the official FBI Kirk shooting story. Occam's says that when presented with multiple scenarios, typically the one that's least complicated & requires the fewest assumptions is the one most often true. Does the official FBI narrative meet that? No, and here's the proof:
This is a long Charlie Kirk thread, but it's important because it blows a hole in the FBI's entire shooting story. And easily so, which just shows how the media is intentionally working to not question everything.
