Saw them in providence. Great show!
winner!
In normal times, the President presides over all of us. President of the US. Not President of the people who I like. This? He has unpresidented himself.
Who won that game?
Was maye trying to pass on that fumble?
They should be two scores down! No running game.
Holy shit www.youtube.com/watch?v=emiB...
I understand this ad is running in Texas this weekend during football games š
Corruption. Corruption beyond belief. That everyone can see. That's it. That's the post.
When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.
No shit!
Paper Clip Protest open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
An ICE agent unholstered his gun at a protest this morning. Please don't let yourself become numb to this.
Letās recognize the good work that good legislators are trying to do.
The joke was very funny. The part they claim to be pissed about was the setup.
Iām sorry but isnāt that what makes it actually more realistic? Why would anyone try to pass off something that sounds so fake?
She get fired yet?
Democracy depends on a fearless press. Trump and the media that have caved in to him are jeopardizing it and thereby undermining our democracy. What can be done? Two important steps are warranted. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-disastrous-defamations
The full context of Kimmelās joke was very funny - and embarrassing for POTUS.
Becoming increasingly clear weāre gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
Respectfully disagree: 1) in fact it is unusual for a democracy w/ this level of GDP to turn authoritarian & so quickly; 2) the weakness of both institutions (congress & courts) and individuals (Schumer etc) is shocking. Would take less than 10 people in congress or 2 SC justices to stop all this.
From Wired a few weeks ago. A lot of the people who I was told for years were the adults in the room are being asked how they want to be remembered, and that answer is very clearly "cowards." www.wired.com/story/uncann...
They can't stand mockery. Please increase all mockery. Thank you.
Does that include ESPN? If the writers/hosts of SportsCenter were to take day off - or mention this censorship on their shows - you might actually be able to reach some of the people who have no idea what is going on in this country.
Thank you for the chuckle. Itās greatly needed right now.
Colbert-Kimmel 2028: You canāt shut us up
I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. Itās shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.
Trump didn't demand Jimmy Kimmel's firing because he said mean things about Charlie Kirk. Trump demanded Jimmy Kimmel be fired because said mean things about Donald Trump.
Mark Wayne mullin appears to have lied about there being a recording of RFK jrās conversation with the former CDC director in order to get her to change her story about the conversation. Isnāt that deserving of at least a censure. All credit to Dr. Monarez for her consistent response.
Yeah this!!!
Have they not seen the Jurassic Park movies? We canāt avoid repeating history from less than 100 years ago, do we have to try to repeat history from 100,000 years ago? (Not sure that numbers right but it works in the sentence.)
The remarks werenāt āabout Charlie Kirk,ā they were about how this administration is using Kirkās death as an excuse to shut down critics ā¦ and they responded by proving him completely correct.
Today is Constitution Dayāthe anniversary of the signing that gave us the blueprint for democracy. The Constitution isnāt just history. Itās the rulebook for how our government must serve the people. š§µ
On Constitution Day, we remind everyone that a democracy only works if the Constitutionās principles are enforced. Weāll continue to fight for accountability, transparency and the rule of law every day so the government truly serves the people.
Is that the same day the government is supposed to shut down? Will there be anyone working to release the files? Will the shutdown result in an accidental deletion of the files?
Some kids just came by canvassing for Mamdani. An absolute delight. Ten out of ten ground game.
We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads. We broke up the steel companies. We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates. We've done it before. We can do it again.
By that reasoning Donald Trump and Stephen miller should be charged with terrorism.
Yes, release the Epstein files!!!
Robyn broke it DOWN
California is facing a crisis of connection among young men, with rising suicide rates and deepening isolation. So today, I'm issuing a challenge: for men to step up and volunteer as mentors, coaches, and tutors, and build a California for young men to grow and thrive.
Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.
No Settlements! Needs to be the rally cry for every press outlet, university, business, law firm, nonprofit, and other entity that is targeted by the regime. Settlements sell us all out.
I hope the New York Times has a spine. I canāt wait for discovery.
Empires decline all the time, for all kinds of reasons, but our present moment will be remembered in history books for the sheer volume of *voluntary & pointless self-imposed damage*. We're systematically dismantling what made us great, for no reason! Genuinely, with no rationale! It's wild.
Time to trend #Epstein #Epstein #Epstein
Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)
How about if all the stellar journalists who have walked or been let go in the last year start a new news organization. Iāll subscribe.
absolutely repugnant, gutfeld completely dismisses the assassination of melissa hortman, calls it a "bull shit" example of political violence
Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome
The Oxford definition of terrorism - āthe unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.ā Is what our government is doing through words and actions anything but terrorism?
I canāt imagine what prompted this postā¦
Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward ā and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
Shame on you Mike Lee. Who is āthey?ā One 22yr old white young man from Utah is accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Who the hell is āthey?ā Shame on you. You are purposely inciting hate & division. Hiding behind āthey.ā Shame on you.
This could be a huge mistake for the GOP. Why continue to put 1/6 in the front of peopleās minds? Letās distract from Epstein by reviewing that time the President encourage attack on the Capitol. Canāt imagine this will sit well with independent voters.
On this day in 1991, Clarence Thomasā hearings began. We didnāt listen to the brilliant Black woman who told us the truth. 33 years later, his seat still stains the Court. Maybe itās time we started listening to the women in the room. #BelieveWomen
OK, Iāll admit it: Envying Brazil its seemingly principled Supreme Court wasnāt on my bingo card. Like, not ever. apnews.com/article/braz...
This rollover for the criminals and kleptocrats who hide in U.S. shell corporations is a real national security problem.
Any semblance of exceptionalism remaining in the United States was robbed from us when SCOTUS ruled on Citizens United in 2010, in favor of Corporations over The People.
I've never understood the car analogy, unless the argument is to require: a competency-based license, registration, insurance, and the constant oversight of law enforcement while in use with the ability to lose the licence based on poor behavior or physical or mental decline.
Just finished a series of signs "Signs of Fascism for the next bridge rally! I copied them from a couple videos I've seen. PNW strong!! @maddow.msnbc.com @hcrichardson.bsky.social
Or the way the same mainstream media treats this presidentā¦ the President of the United States!!!
I would like to fly flags at half staff for every child killed in a school shooting
People from across the political spectrum need to join together to condemn political violence, no matter who the target it is. Itās never acceptable.
The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
The White House Press Secretary, the official spokesperson for the Trump administration, told reporters in an official briefing that the president wants to invade "every Democrat-run city" with troops. Any media still pretending that this is about "crime" is making a conscious choice to lie to you.
The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.
No notes
And the result was that not enough people cared about his abuse of women or his lying to prevent him from becoming president. Will history repeat itself - especially now that he is the president?
I think some men want to watch the world burn, but some other men just donāt mind if thatās a consequence of their competition to have the most money ever.
No country is guaranteed to survive forever. Could these vaccine alliances be the first step toward the breaking up of the US into multiple countries? Iād rather be in Califoreington or West Atlantica than the undereducated and unhealthy remaking US.
*NEWS*: Asawin Suebsaeng and Andrew Perez of Rolling Stone are joining Zeteoās political team as new staff reporters, plus Peter Rothpletz will be helping me launch a progressive politics morning news letter. Weāre also hiring a breaking news reporter.
Everyone who thinks you can just wait it out until the next election instead of pushing for removal just has no idea how bad it is or how fast it is collapsing
Walmart spent $35.3B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024, enough to give each of its 2.2M employees annual bonuses of $2,719. Last year, Walmart CEO Doug McMillon pocketed $27.4M ā 930x the company's median employee pay of just $29,469. Textbook corporate greed.
When even Rand Paul thinks youāre despicable.
With this executive order of the people, we are also renaming. Please update your records.
The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents. In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.
This is my grand theory for how Democrats can win the whole stupid debate about words and language: National Democrats need to use the phrase "fucking asshole" a lot.
I thought Johnson was saying Epstein was an fbi informant but either way the question should be asked.
š©øš©øš©ø I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did š©øš©øš©ø
How about just the Trump administration threatens Americansā liberty.
I got my annual flu vaccine last week. I got my covid booster tonight. Because I believe in science.
The route from DC to Boston is 475 miles. This would be an hour and a half without stops. Probably 2 hours tops with them. It could go from DC to New York in 45 minutes. We could have this if we didn't suck.
Sing it.
I donāt know if you all remember, but Sharice Davids was reelected in Kansas even after the GOP gerrymandered her districtā¦
All major podcasts and resistance publications need to be secured offshore for the benefit of history.

They will claim itās hard to prove a negative. They should just review how many appearances they have averaged per day and maybe start asking questions.
In Tarrant County (Ft Worth) they are closing polling places to save money. All of those polling places are in minority neighborhoods. And, what's really interesting, most of the polling places are in public buildings, schools & libraries, and manned by volunteers.
