Priorities 👏🏼
Out of his time—but I wish Dana and other news anchors would stick to a question with similar voracity with Republican politicians.
"DOJ shutters Tom Homan bribe investigation. Why Joe Biden's Autopen scandal is troublesome for the Democrats" - CNN, WSJ, and Jake Tapper probably.
We are the product
This isn’t about owning the libs. It’s about owning all of us.
Lawmakers on both sides have a chance to turn this around. We don’t have a lot of time before our U.S. democracy is lost. One it’s lost, we may never regain the civil liberties we have now. The time is now. Keep calling your elected officials. Write letters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
A lot of people are mourning today and I’m no different. It’s been 4 yrs since we lost Willie Garson. One of my first friends in LA, he was a proud American, a proud Jew, and a vocal opponent against hate, fear and injustice. He knew he was sick and made this his final tweet. I think about it a lot.
Literally everyone is in it too
The more I see it, the more Tombstone becomes one of my favorite movies
What the… to hell with you!
I downed a box of Crunchberries, so yes. Hell yes.
Democrats now have a huge opening to go on the offensive. Between the RFK vaccine disaster, the Homan bribe, Trump's nakedly corrupt DM to Bondi, and Brendan Carr breaking the law, they should turn on the firehose. As should the press. Doomers will be blocked. TY for your attention to this matter.
FBI caught fascist Border Czar Tom Homan taking a $50K bribe ON CAMERA to funnel tax payer funded Govt contracts to his friends. Bondi & Patel knew & likely Trump knew—& killed the investigation Being undocumented is a civil offense. Taking bribes is a felony. So when does Homan go to El Salvador?🤔
Lord of the Lies wants justice and is having some Saturday night feelings about it. Wonder what’s really eating at him?
Many of your grandparents were the original Antifa. They fought against the Nazis on the beaches of Normandy and in the forests of Ardennes. They literally helped save the world from the scourge of fascism. Today, under this regime, they would be declared terrorists. Let it sink in.
First, they come for our speech. Then, they come for our guns.
Thinking something is “really illegal, personally” doesn’t make it actually illegal.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of a key annual report that is central to future inflation data. I’m sure it’s because the numbers are really, really good.
Snowflake Blue
Weird, I thought he’d avoid anything PC
Funny how they suddenly care about science. * * it’s not funny
Fucking autocorrect. She’s definitely a solid.
Heyyyyy, he has fee-fees too
Happy Friday Bsky! We made it through another week. Don't forget to attend the secret ANTIFA meeting this weekend. I'm honor of the current administration, the entry password is "SNOWFLAKE". I'm bringing guacamole. The agenda? Release the Epstein Files!
They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.
Ah, yes. I was addressing the original post. Besides, who admonishes a Canadian?!
Looks like you’re an artist, so diminishing the power of the Arts in the face of fascism is kinda wild. Look no further than the Degenerate Artists in Nazi Germany. Their work was declared “un-German” and an insult to national pride. They were fired from jobs, had their work banned. Sound familiar?
I thought my reply would reach both of you, kinda like Twitter. Is that not the case here?
If you’re going to make art for the next 4 years it should be dangerous.
Nope
To diminish the power of the Arts in the face of fascism is to usher in its power. Wanna talk history? See the Degenerate Artists in Nazi Germany. Their work was declared “un-German” and an insult to national pride. They were fired from jobs, and had their work banned, so hard disagree on this take
Bow and get screwed. Fight it in the courts and win. These are proven patterns...
He was taken off the air for humiliating the president with his own words
Dear Jimmy Kimmel: You have friends everywhere…
I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files
Andor, a Disney+ show about resisting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Three days later, the network caved to it.
Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.
Do you know who wrote the FCC chapter in Project 2025? I do…
Watch the clip: Jimmy Kimmel didn’t get canned for making fun of Charlie Kirk’s death, or saying he had it coming because he’s MAGA, he got fired because he embarrassed the President.
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.
The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.
I feel bad for my Aunt Tifa. Her socials are blowing up.
Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.
The United States of America has become an authoritarian state.
Corporate decision after pressure from the White House—and they control every branch of government so they don’t have to ask for shit.
Free Speech (1776-2025) Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the People peacefully to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
If you ask me, they can no longer call themselves the American Broadcasting Company.
My buddy @toddalcott.bsky.social is an incredible graphic artist (and a damn good writer too). Most of his works are in the spirit of old pulp novels and LP covers. Lately, they’ve taken a turn toward current events. Stay loud—and never stop talking about the Epstein files.
The irony of Jim Jordan telling House members their time has expired as they dog-walk Kash Patel, exposing him for covering up sex crimes, should not be lost on anyone
A Republican who swore an oath and is upholding it. How novel. Cc: National Guard and U.S. military troops.
These aren’t serious people, but they’re doing seriously dangerous shit.. and that’s what it is—shit .
Yes, zero slang. They write in the Queen’s English.
Trans rights are human rights.
Pro-tip: Wajahat is asking a rhetorical question.
I have 3 teenagers. None of them text like Victorian lovers separated by war torn borders and outbreaks of cholera, but I reckon a few more years of this shit and they will.
You know this shows? Never, ever, ever stop talking about the Epstein Files…
If it makes you feel any better, my wife spent a few decades thinking Aimee Mann was singing, “This is scary,” instead of “Voice Carry.”
🧠 🤸 😰
The firing of Karen Attiah by the Washington Post reminds me of when the paper canned Woodward and Bernstein because their work was “endangering the physical safety of colleagues.” The Washington Post no longer has the brain processing power to be taken seriously.
Got one of those too
My eyes didn’t catch the “with” and this post still tracked.
I prefer my apologies without contempt.
Same sanctimonious BS slung after Pennsylvania only now they’ve sent troops into our cities, snatched people off the streets in unmarked vans, gave billionaires and corporations tax cuts, desecrated the constitution and put our country up for sale—not really “simple policy disagreements.”
Weird how they went from saying all his bad quotes have been taken out of context and there’s nothing wrong with them to, but if you post them online, you should be fired from your job.
Long video but worth your time. America is finally getting the 3rd party it always wanted but it’s not what you think. We have to learn to understand the next generation—we owe them that. All this nihilism did not happen in a vacuum. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6Epw9SL/
Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us
Don’t worry, Ron, new leadership at Fox is… oh.
Dude, dude is angry he got called out
Wait—THIS is Brian Kilmead’s apology? The same one Bill Kristol said he should be “praised” for? Bro said it all in one insincere breath because he couldn’t get it out fast enough.

From the party that literally declared war on Chicago
Republicans are talking about "social media" as the cause of political violence because it's a convenient distraction from the fact they refuse to acknowledge that Donald Trump does more than anyone in our country to heighten tensions and incite the crazies
One network is a news outlet that’s been bending the knee in fear and therefore diminishing its credibility as a news outlet while the other one is an agitprop disinformation bullshit machine that managed to survive despite paying almost a billion dollars as a penalty for its lies.
Sooooo, then no freedom of speech.
So much talk about motive this past week; this movie showed young me some people don’t need much reason to do horrible things. “She was talking shit.”
He doesn’t even deserve this meme and you are just the turd in the pool with this post.
Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."
So the daily desecration of our constitutional rights and the destruction of our economy and sending the military into American cities and snatching people off the streets by masked men and all the hateful rhetoric amplified from the most powerful person in the world was just… chillin’.
Sure, Brian.
Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social
I saw the photo first and thought this dude was standing next to Chewbacca.
This was a horrible week. Took my 9-yr old son to get burgers at In-and-Out and while we were in waiting in the drive thru line, out of the blue, he asked me to play “Bodysnatchers” by Radiohead and for a few moments everything was okay… but I still don’t know how he pulled that one out of his head.
At least now the DOJ can look into these Groyper fellas and take down some real Nazis. Right…?
You know what would really bring the country together right now? Release the Epstein files.
It'd be nice if there was a moment of reflection from the many cis people who just witnessed the WSJ attempt to initiate a pogrom against trans Americans at the behest of a fascist influencer. But I won't hold my breath.
🔮
If corporate media and law enforcement and the US actually treated white supremacy and right-wing extremism as a major issue then they'd be able to understand this moment. But we barely talk about it, even though its the number one domestic terror threat in America.
Now that it we know a bible-raised Republican gun nut and not a woke lib killed Charlie Kirk, watch for two things: 1) maga/the media stop calling it a "political assassination." 2) Charlie Kirk doesn't get to be a martyr anymore, One can hope.
Now that the truth is out there, watch them spread the lies.
I have no notes… and neither will Republicans.
I was given my first BB Gun at six and my old man taught me never point any gun at anyone — even a toy — for any reason. Ever. Even if it’s not loaded. I thought of that when looking at this little boy standing in front of the barrel, smiling in the bottom pic.
Kash Patel is the classmate who did the least amount of work on the group project yet presents to the class and spends most of the time talking about all the work “we” did together.
It’s almost like they’ve never paid attention to shootings before.
Yeah, just because someone shouldn't be murdered in cold blood, which nobody should, doesn't make them not a despicable hateful troll whose rhetoric endangered lives on the daily. I really need the careful framing/rehabilitation (and sometimes canonizing) of Charlie Kirk to stop. Now.
