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.
Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil, who was a Columbia University graduate student when he was abruptly arrested by the Trump administration this year, have asked a federal judge to intercede after an immigration court judge ordered last week that he be removed to Syria or Algeria.
During WWII, the US Army was Antifa.
About the combined MMR and varicella vaccine (MMRV), ACIP has just voted to *not* recommend MMRV before the age of 4 years. This will not change access to MMR and varicella separately.
Sinclair is demanding that Kimmel apologize to the family (?) and also "make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA" Are you fucking kidding me? It's not enough they got him fired, they want him to grovel and send money to these anti-free speech grifters?
In die Rechten etwas von Cancel culture reden, von Intoleranz, von Gewalt oder Diktatur denkt daran: Das sind keine echten Vorwürfe an uns, das ist, was sie vorhaben, sobald sie an der Macht sind.
This is what fascist scholars mean when they say "don't give them an inch."
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr: "I think it's worthwhile to have the FCC look into The View and some of those other programs."
Says it all, really.
This is the lead story in the New York Times. If you're in the business of communicating, whether through journalism, commentary, or art, this is the five-alarm fire. People are going to remember who spoke up and who stayed conveniently silent or postured about "neutrality."
As pressure on universities heats up, one academic union has published guidelines to help its members stay safe
The prime minister sacked Lord Mandelson after reviewing a cache of emails between him and Epstein. The emails were published by Bloomberg. Among those emails, Mandelson had sent supportive messages to Epstein as he faced jail in 2008.
Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.
These ACIP votes are a total goat rodeo. This committee is completely and utterly incompetent.
Today I introduced the No Political Enemies Act, with a powerhouse group of co-sponsors, to put in law protections for prosecution or harassment for political speech. Trump is shamelessly exploiting the death of Charlie Kirk to try to destroy his opposition. We cannot let him.
The House Oversight Committee has voted to table a motion from Rep. Ro Khanna to subpoena FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
The Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into ABC, Sinclair, and the FCC. We will not be intimidated and we will defend the First Amendment.
We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.
Es waren übrigens demokratische Expert*innen, Linke und Antifaschist*innen, die schon vor Jahren davor warnten, dass Trump die USA in den Faschismus führen würde. Statt ihre fundierte Expertise ernstzunehmen, wurden sie als "linke Spinner" und "Panikmacher" belächelt. Hört öfter mal auf die Antifa ☝🏽
Shapiro: There’s a lot to be critical of: things cost a whole lot more after they promised costs would go down. We’ve got a healthcare system that’s being disrupted by an absolute quack That shouldn’t be censored. Because censorship erodes our fundamental freedoms.
"TO ANNOUNCE THAT THERE MUST BE NO CRITICISM OF THE PRESIDENT, OR THAT WE ARE TO STAND BY THE PRESIDENT, RIGHT OR WRONG, IS NOT ONLY UNPATRIOTIC AND SERVILE, BUT IS MORALLY TREASONABLE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC." -Theodore Roosevelt American IGNORANCE is at an all time high.

JD Vance awake at night, whispering to himself, "These guys really like me."
I don't know who needs to hear this but Free Countries don't have secret police that can whisk Citizens away in unmarked vehicles to non-disclosed locations. I'm not against trvmp because I'm a liberal. I'M AGAINST TRVMP BECAUSE I'M AN AMERICAN. We RESIST because our Democracy is in jeopardy.
Thanks for the heads up. thehill.com/opinion/camp...
In two days of hearings in a packed federal courtroom in Montana, young climate activists and expert witnesses testified that three of President Trump’s executive orders aimed at “unleashing” American energy violated their Constitutional rights to life and liberty.
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
The same week he sues the NY Times for $15 billion... *this* is the headline the NY Times goes with?

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law. That and much more in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Jimmy Kimmel is yanked off the air. The FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, is doing the bidding of his Dark Lord, Donald Trump. I expose why profit over people has infected mainstream companies like ABC and CBS & why it’s time to carefully get your news from independent media. youtu.be/QRXCmp7cAjg?...

Both are disgusting.
No transcript up, so the Massie-Patel exchange is scraped from YouTube w/some minor cleanup (see ALT txt). Kash Patel dodges, repeatedly lies about what the FBI has in its possession & won't pledge to meet w/survivors, acts as if he can't subpoena the #Epstein estate...#ReleaseTheFiles
🚨 RE-UP & SHARE! Why Trump is afraid of the #Epstein files & the survivors. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) dropped bomb after bomb on an evasive Ka$h Patel, saying 20 named predators need to be investigated, files produced & asked Patel to meet w/survivors. 📺 youtu.be/W5lpKp9VI0s?... MORE (transcript) ⬇️
The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising. It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.
Trump und seine Regierung wollen die Medien unter ihre Kontrolle bringen. Es ist exakt das, was in Deutschland die AfD und Teile der Union vorhaben. Das zeigt sich an Versuchen der vergangenen Jahre und heute, Rundfunkgebühren als Druckmittel einzusetzen. Unterstützt durch Bild, Reichelt und Co.
Antifa is NOT a gang. There is no leader. But your Proud Boyz, 3 Percenters, etc - those are violent, armed, racist gangs you encourage, like you encouraged the riot on Jan 6th. Convicted by juries of treason, but you pardoned hardened convicted criminals. YOU are the problem.

Executive orders can only order other offices/actors WITHIN the Executive Branch to do things. They operate, IF AT ALL, by getting other levers of power - agencies - to move. EOs do not create laws. They CAN’T make individuals, companies, or organizations outside the Executive Branch do anything.
trump just said on Air Force One that TV stations who criticize him should have their license taken away. And guess what? They will listen to him, not because they are afraid, no, they will do as he says because the people who own these networks are the same oligarchs who support him. #Resist
Personally I don't think we should let the president make the entire country a safe space for himself

DANGER DANGER I have collected and read the propaganda from a number of these orgs and we are in real trouble www.ed.gov/about/news/p...
MEMPHIS: “Our founding fathers didn’t overthrow a monarch just to see another replace it… The solution to crime is opportunity, not occupation.” Councilwoman + candidate for governor @jerrigreen4tn rips Trump & @govbilllee for sending in troops, warns other cities they’re next.
Die Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit in den USA hat alle Hemmungen abgelegt: Kennedy hat nun Susan Monarez gefeuert, die Chefin der CDC, weil sie sich weigerte, seine Impf-Reformen ohne Blick auf wissenschaftliche Evidenz zu unterschreiben. Außerdem hätte sie Impf-Experten ohne Grund feuern sollen.

Trump doesn't have to replace Fed Reserve board members to get lower interest rates. He just has to keep tanking the economy like he is.
The ruling pointed out that officials repeatedly claimed parents had asked for their children to be returned, but in reality many families had never made such a request at all. The judge said their false statements “crumbled like a house of cards” when presented in court.
The judge described how children were suddenly taken from their shelters in the middle of the night, placed on buses, and driven to airports without any clear justification.
The case raises a disturbing question: if these deportations weren’t actually requested by the families, what exactly did Trump intend to do with all these children once they were removed from U.S. soil?
Another federal judge has dealt Trump a legal setback, over the government’s treatment of migrant children. The court blocked his administration from quietly flying hundreds of Guatemalan kids out of the country under the pretense of “family reunification.”
PS: Here's the "source" for what I'm referring to: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/u...
According to the New York Times, "The text exchange between Mr. Robinson and his partner was reproduced by prosecutors in the charging document." Reproduced? So no one has seen the actual messages? No screen shots? No time stamps? Also, weren't they on Discord and not SMS? 1/
The Times also notes that no lawyer is listed for Robinson. That's concerning given Trump's penchant for "supplying" lawyers to political enemies. See: Cassidy Hutchinson, Carlos de Oliveira, even the Epstein survivors in the non-prosecution agreement times. 2/
Back to the texts, where did the local prosecutors get the messages? Did they get screenshots from the FBI and then reproduced them themselves? Or did they get the already-reproduced version of the messages from the FBI? Who all has seen the actual messages? 3/
For the media to run with this as truth is insane. Where are all the "alleged" and "unconfirmed" tags they usually put on statements that go against the president's narrative? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. END/
The one where the Kansas City star muses over whether you should speak up about fascism and misogyny and white nationalism… The author says if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.

Once a tart, always a tart. This was a formal state dinner with the royal family, and Melania wore an off-the-shoulder dress. Out-of-wedlock Tiffany did, too. No propriety, no sense of protocol. Just sheer trash.
Republicans spent the last 24 hours trying to justify ABC pulling Kimmel based on reasons other than intimidation and threats from the Trump admin, then Trump goes full Col. Jessup & pisses all over the narrative & admits he ordered the Code Red because Kimmel hurt his feelings.
Q: Who would you like to see replace Kimmel on late night? TRUMP: Anybody could replace him ... he's a wackjob, but he had no talent
Anyone who justified supporting Trump on free speech is either a liar or an idiot; regardless they need to be systemically disempowered
yes! congressional control of the purse applies to the white house as well. you can defund stephen miller.
This is a post researched by my sister, naming all our ancestors we know of, who fought the mad King from England during the Revolution. We have equally as many who fought during the Civil War. We are a family grounded in liberty. I doubt that will change.
Just an observation…
"Please stop trying to fix this Republican Party. IT CAN'T BE FIXED! Stop thinking it can be reformed. IT CAN'T BE REFORMED. Stop trying to explain how it got this way. WE NO LONGER CARE! JUST DEFEAT IT! THAT'S IT! Our ONLY job now is to defeat this Republican Party. That's All."
Reject Tyranny! In every age it has been the tyrant,the oppressor&the exploiter who wraps himself in the cloak of patriotism or religion or both to deceive the people. There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice But there must never be a time when we FAIL To PROTEST. -Elie Wiesel

Thank you, Representative Robert Garcia! As the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, he announced plans to open an investigation into both the Trump administration and ABC following the network’s decision (under FCC pressure) to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely.
I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action
Join us in canceling Disney Plus. Let’s boycott ABC and Disney. If you’ve already canceled, drop a “done” in the comments.
