Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame. They want power by any illegal means necessary. Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.
They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦♂️
Millions of people boycotting & speaking out in unison put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. Let’s not forget he’s not the only victim of fascism. For every Kimmel there’s hundreds more who’ve been silenced for their views that we may never hear of. Fight for them.
Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."
This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.
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.
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."
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.
🚨BREAKING: Rep. Ro Khanna just motioned to SUBPOENA FCC chairman Brendan Carr in the House Oversight Committee to stop the intimidation of private businesses and assault on free speech
One of the hallmarks of authoritarianism is to terrify people into self-censorship. ABC ending Kimmel’s show is the perfect example of this.
Accurate
We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.
It has been a really hard week for the country. However, sadly I am used to the media and country moving on quickly after gun violence happens in schools. Time to remind the media that the EPSTEIN files still have not been released.
“If you can’t honor a man by quoting him directly because his own words seem disparaging to his legacy, then perhaps you shouldn’t try to honor him at all.” Watch my latest here: www.youtube.com/live/2Mv50KZ...
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."
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
Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.
This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem
Before the Nazis engaged in mass murder of Jews, they did mass murder of people with mental illness and disabilities.
After the Minnesota shooting Senior DOJ officials started weighing proposals to limit transgender people's right to possess firearms. After the Kirk shooting, I look forward to the DOJ's proposal to limit white men's ability to possess firearms. Wait, what do you mean that's not how it works???🤔
In summary: The hateful Charlie Kirk was shot by the acolyte of a more hateful version of Charlie Kirk. It wasn’t any of the imaginary bogeymen they were hoping for. Just a case of them slowly drowning in their own hate.
He started by "praying" the shooter would be gay, or trans, or Black, or a migrant, or a liberal... anything other than a white cis maga gun loving Trump donor. So he can SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT "LOWERING THE TEMPERATURE" when his first act was to target innocent groups WITHOUT EVIDENCE. RESIGN!
You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.
So now magas will go to war with other magas 😂 i mean weren’t that saying that yesterday? “THIS IS WAR, Get ready” 😆
Phang: Part of the reason the FBI has been showing this level of dysfunction is evidenced by the lawsuit filed yesterday by former FBI officials—what it shows is that the FBI has basically been hollowed out…
If you think that Kirk’s death is going to be the One Neat Trick that plunges us into fascism, may I direct your attention to all of the currently-ongoing fascism?
This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.
Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
Spencer Cox: "Our nation is broken. We had political assassinations recently in Minnesota. We had an attempted assassination on the gov of Pennsylvania. And we had an attempted assassination on a president. Nothing I say can unite us as a country. Nothing I can say right now can fix what is broken"
Is trump going to send the army to Utah?? I mean crime there just got out of hand right?
But what type of citizenship are you talking about? In the USA teenagers carry id’s or DL, which is not a proof of citizenship, and no one carries their birth certificates or passports. Also, if it’s mandatory in your country I’m assuming is for everyone unlike here which affects only one group.
What he’s going to bring his goons like he did on Jan 6th and start creating chaos so the data shows what he’s desperately wants it to show??
So we should not talk about the holocaust, it didn’t even happen here. 🤷🏽♂️ I mean if we want to rewrite history??
He’s not mimicking you fcking dwit, he’s mocking you guys 😂
Putin’s bitch 😂
👇👇
Ok that’s better.
Meh, we can give Alaska to Putin. We don’t need it.
Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"
Then all your clowns and criminals pack your bags and gtfu of our city. If crime went up was because the 34count felon in the WH!
Well , is she going to arrest the criminal right behind her, crime will go down tremendously if we remove the cause of why dc crime has gone up: TRUMP
What an ash***les evil cnts. Fck all of them! Karma will get every single one of these monsters.
Talented and beautiful is a stretch. She’s a mediocre actress, and beautiful well, she’s not ugly but she’s definitely not a standard of beauty!
Disgusting. Fck man, can someone do something?
They caught wind that he’s on the EIPSTEIN’s files 🤷🏽♂️
DO it the right way, they screamed. They do it the right way. No, we mean be a legal U.S. citizen. We are U.S. citizens, yet we still get arrested all because our skin color. 🤦🏽♂️
Isn’t this guy that said “where WAS WE RANKED? 😂
We want the list of the pedophiles, no one is asking for a list of victims or videos.
And mysteriously Ivana died and buried her in trump’s property….. very convenient huh 🤔?
Well, he’s the president now let’s see those “deals”
Is she talking from experience?? She hangs with top criminals, trump, Noem, Bondi, Bannon, etc
Can we said HE, only for him? Please 🙏🏽 he deserved it since he knew republicans were taking rights away from transgender people yet HE decided to stick w the devil and not his trans community?!
They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
And their children don’t forget their children
These ICE agents are an embarrassment to law enforcement. Imagine being so afraid of being a public servant that they have to cover their face. Under no circumstances should any arresting officer be lawfully allowed to shield his/her identity.
Just call it what it is RACISM. Period! Come on yt people if you’re on our side (brown/black/lgbtq/etc) call it what it is RACISM stop mincing words like oh look what he tweeted ! Fck off just say he is RACIST!!
Just call it what it is RACISM. Period! Come on yt people if you’re on our side (brown/black/lgbtq/etc) call it what it is RACISM stop minding words like oh look what he tweeted 🤦🏽♂️
🥵 what a beautiful man w a beautiful dick 🫦👅
And he decided to tweet this on Juneteenth??? Mmmm but he’s not RACIST??
Yummy 😋
Thoughts and more failure Elon’s way
He’s mad mad that no one care about his stupid military parade, and now he wants to keep punishing liberal cities with the threat of deporting hardworking immigrants
Yes 👅
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?
Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
SEIU President David Huerta was injured & arrested today for simply exercising his first amendment right during an ICE raid in LA. How Huerta was treated is horrific and the increased terrorization of immigrant communities is unacceptable. I join SEIU CA in calling for Huerta’s immediate release.
I can’t wait to see those teslas going up in flame 🔥 🤣
She’s a f joke!
T-mobile, they’re not American owned so probably won’t bend the knee!
But they’re clutching their pearls at Commey with an 8647 picture. It’s not even graphic. Also who can forget that Teflon jr shared a picture of Pelosi’s husband underwear and a hammer?
Beautiful ladies, and beautiful background. GREAT PIC LADIES!!!
Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give into fear. Never. Ever. 🇺🇸
Yes please 🙏🏽
They all voted for Trump, they asked for this, can’t feel sorry 🤷🏽♂️
There it is, in a nutshell.
Do they realize if, IFFF Canada would become the 51 state, democrats will win in a landslide??
He’s brown and gay. No pardon for him!
Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

BREAKING NYT: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, according to four people with knowledge of the chat.

The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.
Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."
Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."
They are obviously slow learners
3.5 million people turned out yesterday. Not one Capitol building stormed, not one police officer attacked. #handsoff
He doesn’t care about brown people, even if they’re part of his cult!
I mean those communist Cubans like Rubio voted for this…tragic that this happening to this old man but Cubans think they’re better than other Latinos 🤷🏽♂️
And the other is pale as f. Is he dead ☠️?
