Dutch late night TV has its take
Trump is planning a crackdown on anti-conservative thought and speech to cripple the opposition and rig the 2026 elections. If you want to support Democracy Docket's pro-democracy mission, now would be a great time to sign up. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0 Thanks, Marc
It sounds like the bear was on a lawnmower
The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?
Recent criminal trials involving parents of shooters might have motivated him as well š
Trump is putting his name on infrastructure projects paid for by President Bidenās 2021 infrastructure bill ā a bill Trump fought against.
Canāt express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The presidentās fascist goon squad is not welcome here.
One day it will be true. I hope I am around to witness the joy.
Despicable
How long until we get photos of people bending down to kiss his nasty feet? This fawning devotion is so beta.
I've known since I was a teenager many moons ago, that conservatives only care about things that directly affect them.
lol š
They couldnāt silence their stories. So they just killed them. Israel never comes back from this.
thank you for staying, and fighting, but we are basically f*cked, aren't we?
This was the kind of service Maxwell provided for Trump. It was a year later that she āstoleā Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago. But in 1999, she handed over a young girl to him that had already been prepared by Epstein. www.progresspond.com/2025/08/05/d...
OMG it's almost like they are finally getting the news that women are.....people?
I can think of a lot of things Iād like to fill his empty spaces with
The NYPD officer killed by the active shooter was an immigrant from Bangladesh. He had 2 kids and a 3rd on the way. The US State Dept travel advisory for Bangladesh is level 3; āReconsider Travelā for violence, crime and terrorism. He died here, for us, shot with a Colt M4 rifle. Think about that.
'A Pro-Israel Nonprofit is Funneling News Content Through Bari Weissās "Free Press"' As Weissās organization explores a deal to sell to CBS, much of its MidEast content is produced by a shadowy think tank tied to pro-Israel advocacy, per @dropsitenews.com.
And racist
This whole family is deeply weird and creepy
My underboobs can attest to this
Only if you find incest sexy ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Chocolate teddy grahams for the win
Think Jake Tapper will write a book about it?
I donāt love that the media is using Trumpās language
Good thing they held onto that information for the book š
More please
Not to mention in my neighborhood where a 10 year old girl was shot and killed in a drive-by on July4, 2024. The constant bombs and fireworks going off this evening are horrifying
My goodness, this is stellar, razor-sharp writing.
Please share
More of this please
He seemed awfully jolly about it
Patriot Act II
Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.
I hope every elected official, business owner, university president, and media executive sees the millions of people out in the streets today and understands: If we fight back, this is the power on our side.
Trump humiliated and depressed at his own birthday parade. Visibly distraught and hurt.
To be fair, itās hard to tell the difference between someone about to assassinate a public figure and someone in the throes of religious fervor
Some people rightly have imposter syndrome
Put this on a billboard.
Fetterman is such a disappointment

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.
Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when itās safe, when thereās no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when itās too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."
I donāt understand what they thought they were voting for.
Wait until Jake hears about the Yahtzee in the White House now
Another White House ambush of a world leader for the entertainment of the king. We are such a shithole country now.

I remember when being told that part of what made Hamas 'evil' is they set up a government fund to reward dead terrorists families as a way to actively encourage more terrorism that advanced their political goals.
Hope youāre right
The news media is crowded with people who arenāt here to newsgather. They make no research or investigative contributions; just personalities whose job is comparable to pumping out youtube reaction videos. Theyāre entertainers, not journalists, and theyāre paid 5x what decent reporters pull in.
Yeah, I mean as a woman I look at that picture of dude bros with their Proud Boy haircuts and I think "yep, that's who I want in charge of my body."
āBut some of it is also rooted in fair criticism about how we cover and how we talk about people who believe things that are wrong.ā Hard disagree on this. If anything the media have treated them with kid gloves, afraid of damaging their fragile egos and therefore lending credence to their beliefs
Heās a dangerous, despicable grifter
This is such a painfully stupid time in the US
Yeah they were fine with him cutting cancer research and terrorizing immigrants but now heās endangering their obscene profits
Breaking news! DOGE scrambles to recruit hair follicles after cuts were made to trumpās toupe following reports it was full of waste, fraud, and abuse. #GovernmentEfficiency

I didn't think the leopards would eat MY face
My daughter-in-law was a healthcare worker at the VA. Lost her job because of DOGE. Her 8-year old son has cancer, and the clinical trial he was enrolled in was defunded by Trump. These fucking ghouls.
10,000 postal workers. The folks who worked while all of us stayed home waiting on package deliveries during COVID.
šØNEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump. He was accused of messages which ācan be described as terrorismā. This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like. 1/
I canāt afford all the subscriptions Iād like to have, so I appreciate this.
They don't trust newspapers. They only trust what right wing media feeds to them.
what a day

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
My daughter in law is a pharmacist at the VA and she got the fork in the road email. Those damn deep state pharmacists.
This is so fucking dumb
Polls are useless bullshit used by media to create news
Polling is stupidly inaccurate
He seems really excited about it. Fucking fascist ghoul.

Aside from the total lack of qualifications, Sean Duffy somehow manages to add a third syllable to the word āpattern.ā

Good advice. I took up watercolor painting after the election and it keeps me from ruminating and spiraling into darkness
Thank you from gray, frigid Cleveland where the temperature has soared into the single digits from an overnight low of -8Āŗ
White House reporters are excited that after four years of boring interviews with subject-matter experts they now get the adrenaline rush that comes from the personal attention of a president who threatens to have them executed. www.cjr.org/political_pr...
Elon Musk biographer here. The "missing context" from the op-ed below is that Musk has been spreading racist and antisemitic memes, screenshots, graphs, charts, unsourced narratives, tropes, and buzzwords for 18 months now. Publicly. Daily. The Post either knows this or should not be in business.
BBC not buying the gaslighting
In another era, if the gesture was even a 'gaffe' it would be disqualifying. You cannot claim he is a genius and should run the government if we also think he is just a little bean, whose arms flap in the breeze.
Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle. Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

SCOOP: Instagram blocked teens from searching LGBTQ-related content for months. Posts with LGBTQ+ hashtags were hidden under Meta's āsensitive contentā policy which restricts "sexually suggestive content", Meta said they are fixing this āerrorā after I reached out for comment.
And all the post-election think pieces should be be focused on the question of why voters refused to accept that message from Biden and Harris. But that would lead inevitably to an examination of media coverage of Biden and of Harris.
Wait, Iām sorryā¦if the truck blows up, it locks you in?
I love how Denmark isnāt taking any shit from Donald Trump. š©š° š¤£
Fantastic list
Not even in office and already fukking up the economy.
That's just my everyday face now
Over in the other place, the billionaire owner is threatening to fund āmoderateā (rightwing) candidates in heavily Democratic districts too. This is what oligarchy looks like. Itās the biggest threat to democracy today. Not ācancel culture.ā Not trans kids. Not college protesters. Oligarchy.
sounds right
So not a drag queen?
