This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
Select Supreme Court Justices by defining strict requirements and then use a lottery to pick justices from those that meet the requirements.

I think this shows they were never in favor of DEI in the first place. They are hypocrites. just like all Christian nationalists, and many main stream Christians.
What in the ever loving fuck is going on here
#NowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent I made Pico de Gallo for my daughter, bc "Why Not" 😉 I needed #cilantro, so went to the store. I was shocked that I was able to get every item for MY recipe from Canadian farmers 🍁 There is a booming domestic market for greenhouse & field-grown 🇨🇦 produce now 🍁💪
If this is true, why is it nowhere else - including Fox News?
Can't say this loud enough and often enough.
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them: —Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings —More guns don't make us safer —A majority of Americans want gun reform We don't have to live like this.
School shooting days always take the wind out of my sails. So many unnecessary loss of life since we lost Vicki in Sandy Hook. Stop this insanity.
New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.
Massive walkout underway at CDC. RFK jr. must resign so that we can be safe.
Will wonders never cease?
Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned” She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired. The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
The President of the United States sat in the Oval Office and said "a lot of people are saying maybe we'd like a dictator" and that is not even a top story.
Antifa is everywhere.
“To bomb one hospital, Mr Netanyahu, may be regarded as a misfortune; to bomb the same hospital again twenty minutes later to wipe out even more medics and journalists looks like a war crime” - Oscar Wilde, UN prosecutor.
Stephen Miller is not a man. He's a sniveling, conniving insect that lives in the orange guys fat ass.
We got entire fucking books and thousands of words from Jake Tapper and other 'journalists' on Biden's age. The Trump Administration is actively torturing Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who did nothing wrong, and crickets. It's not just the Trump Administration whose moral compass is broken.
There was something I missed that I now understand with grave reality — people lived their lives under repressive systems. They still worked and cooked and ate and wrote and talked to neighbors. They still took walks and watched movies and read books. A nightmare. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
The man demented.
Finding an "Easter egg" in a novel you're reading is such a treat, and here's one I found while I was listening to the audio book: the librarian in Lula Dean's Little Library of Banned Books uses "nancypearl" as her password! Very very cool, thank you @kirstenmiller.bsky.social !
Speaking of the monster, does anyone know where he’s placed all of the homeless people who were living on the streets in DC? What are the long term plans for these people?
That settles it, then. Dear Mayor Wu: It's time to resurrect the Minutemen. Boston is under siege and her citizens must rise to defend it. www.nbcboston.com/news/local/i...
To the death of James Dobson; to the life of Brent Hinds.
Usually, I am no fan of gerrymandering by either party, but I am tired of fighting with one hand tied behind my back. Tired of bringing balloons to a gun fight. Tired of playing by the rules when one party stopped doing that decades ago. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
Our default assumption has to be that the FBI raid of John Bolton’s house is an act of retribution. If they find classified documents and charge him with a felony, it does remind that Trump should have been convicted for the same.
Happy Anniversary my Dougie. You fill my heart with love and laughter — thank you for being the best partner in this adventure called life.
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
I try to be understanding, but jesus christ, the whole story is about how infiltration (which I’ve also covered for years) is not necessary when agencies are openly recruiting them, and they’ve volunteering, and their missions are now the same
I honestly don't know why this whole discussion is confusing to people. - There are fantastic Moderate Dems - There are also many tremendous Progressive Dems - It's going to take both of those types of candidates winning to try & clean up this mess. We need BOTH! It's just that simple 🤷♂️
💙💙
Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
I've always been a fan. She has spunk. I like spunk.
Throwing a sandwich at a cop: felony. Beating a cop unconscious with a flag pole: tourist behavior.
We’d rather be led by a KGB agent than a woman and because of that we have military in our streets, vaccination in shambles, a tanking economy, and a child rapist golfing on our dime. Call your reps: 202-224-3121 If you think it is pointless, then Putin won bigger than he expected. #RemoveTrump
It's a complicated issue. Turner is right, but so is Truth teller. My take: You can't fight if you're dead. With Turner's advice, we're dead; with Truth teller's, at least we're fighting, we'll fix it later, if we win.
Portland is a sanctuary city, & I'm going to fight to keep it that way. Immigration enforcement isn't local government's role, & we're more effective & fiscally responsible when we don't do it. Especially during this presidency's persecution of migrants, we're going to stand for ALL our people.
Sadly, I'm one of these, but I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. It's not a popularity contest, people.
hold on, are you saying the most easily manipulated man on the planet got played by the kgb agent? no…no that cant be right
Just a reminder of the truth
Here’s a fact that no one wants to face: We are NOT going to be able to wait until the election in 2026 to stop that asshole from a total authoritarian take over of this country. The TX capitulation is proof of that.
Reminder and maybe hope for the future
Another day of carnage in crime-ridden Washington, DC.
The crime scene in D.C. most damaging to everyday Americans is at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Your problem is: You have to be stupid to make it work. Since you're not stupid, you can't do it.
They gerrymandered because they couldn’t win on their policies.
Almost 20% of marriages are now interracial but less than 4% are mixed-politics. Americans will marry across racial lines, but if you voted for the other guy, you’re basically a war criminal.
"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."
The media’s complicity helped crown a predator. Lawrence delivers justice in words.
We don't need any additional information, Epstein files or other, to know the orange puke is one of the worst human beings to ever live (if you made a list of 50, he'd be on it). That's a proven fact. More information is just poring on and will convince no new converts.
I read that the new facility that she was transferred to doesn't even have a fence. I wonder how long before she walks out and disappears.
As of this week, there is nobody left on Earth who witnessed this moment live.
Two can play that game.
Will everyone quit and roll over? The law firms, media companies, universities, government employees. Will you all cling to what you have and hope you can just ride it out, Republic be damned? Shame on all of you who don’t stand up, just remember we will never forget.
Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie
Prouder to have voted for them every day.
So true.
These people are going to turn me into a conspiracy theorist.
Shame on everyone who still enables this deranged wannabe dictator moron.
We all need to be Bernie-bros.
Yeah, but really, Elon stole the election. Both he and t said so. And what's worse, he's going to steal the next one, too. He's already stolen the data necessary to do so.
COLBERT: You warned everyone…he would prosecute political enemies, cut Medicaid, alienate our allies, give tax cuts to the rich. I know you're not here to say 'I told you so' but would you like to? HARRIS: You're correct. I did predict a lot of that. But what I did not predict was the capitulation.
I grieve every day for our children and grandchildren…we are living through hell and handing them the ashes
Everyone should know when you post quotes from people like Nick Fuentes and say, “I didn’t have agreeing with Nick on my bingo card,” your posts — if you have a large account — are shared in Neo-Nazi circles as a sign that their movement is growing. Please don’t give Neo-Nazis a propaganda victory.
I remember when this happened.
ARE WE JUST GONNA LET MAMDANI OFF THE HOOK FOR THE TIME I WENT OUTSIDE AND IT WAS RAINING LAST YEAR????? AND THE NEWS SAYS NOTHING!!!
This list is too short -- by about 10,000 items.
Epic! But, everyone should be doing that.
I'm the same way with public appearances, even something so benign as family gatherings.
Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.
Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, just became a new hero of mine.
Awkward Trump-Powell moment at the Fed
A tree can produce a million matchsticks, but one matchstick can take down an entire forest. Never underestimate the power one imbecile can have over 77 million morons.
One year ago today, Vice President Kamala Harris started her campaign for President of the United States and I’ll never believe that she lost nor will I ever regret voting for her or Hillary Clinton. My conscience is clear. 💙👊
Here's me literally doing exactly that. #StandingWithStephenColbert
My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.
Got caught in a rip tide and drowned. Pretty sad.
George - you remain a hero just by continuing to speak out.
we are currently watching an entire political party run cover for the most notorious sex trafficking ring in modern human history
