Yesterday Trump announced he will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization. Only there is no such organization, as outlined repeatedly the last time he tried this in 2020. So who is he really targeting? Anyone who dissents.

Very true. I fear history repeats itself. When attitudes and beliefs remain the same, sometimes results are the same. Let’s hope not. Perhaps the high poverty rates, low educational outcomes, poor life expectancy/health, weak economy and employment rates can be addressed by state government.
Mississippi is a disgraceful place. Mississippians have never respected human rights. The people should be ashamed of their state.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.
Taken issue? They can’t tell what is clearly illegal? Sounds like we need to sue the soldiers? What happened to refusing to obey illegal orders? The military is co-opted.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
Jimmy Kimmel said this. MAGA and their ilk ignore it. His firing is a farce.
Re Kimmel, it's important that Disney has left itself an out--it is a "suspension," not a cancellation or firing. What happens in the next two days--reaction within the company but also in the press, in the industry, in Washington, among consumers, and on social media--may affect how this plays out.
journalistic malpractice to repeat MAGA lie that most violence is from the left. Most is from the right. Here are all the stats (we fact check so you don't have to) open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Even amazing lawyers can't change the fact that deceased individuals (or their estates) cannot bring defamation lawsuits.

Most Jewish Americans disapprove of the Trump administration withholding funds from colleges to address anti-Jewish sentiment, according to a new survey.

Just take a moment. The whole thing is a scam. They are terrible at governing. Terrible. And all the noise is to distract from their fundamental incompetence in governance.
We just want to say thank you to everyone who’s taken action! So far, three doxxing websites and one app have been successfully taken down. Doxxing is illegal in the United States, and so are true threats. Several MAGA-affiliated individuals have already been arrested for making violent threats.
🚨BIG NEWS: Republicans just quietly added a line to a defense bill that would empower the Pentagon and Pete Hegseth to deploy armed private mercenaries inside the U.S. at the southern border for the first time in American history.

Impeachment was literally *created* for this situation. I suspect not a single one of the Founding Fathers would have opposed immediate removal of a president on the grounds reported on here. No wonder America is talking about basically anything else but this and the still-unreleased Epstein Files.
Trump’s so-called Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States.
wait, but I thought crime was totally out of control in cities?
It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.
"This type of language spurs on depraved people, deranged people who who take that as a cue." Right, Speaker Johnson?

Don’t forget to vote, Minnesotans! Today’s special election will determine who fills the state House seat after Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated in June.
Political violence and threats are not the answer. This is a watershed moment — we can choose to stay silent and live in fear, or we can choose to be loud for peace and compassion. We must work together to stop this crisis, and it should start from the top with the President.
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
NEW: For years, Missourians have possessed the constitutional right to a referendum that allows them to veto laws passed by the legislature. Now, they’re laying the groundwork to exercise this right to block the GOP's proposed congressional gerrymander from being enacted. @jenrice.bsky.social
In new oversight report, Sen Adam Schiff (D-CA) argues taxpayer money was improperly used to hang banners with Trump image on federal buildings www.schiff.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions
By now, you’ve probably seen these propaganda banners sprouting up on federal buildings. We’ve uncovered how much these banners cost through never-before-seen documents. And why they’re illegal: (Thread 🧵)
Democracy doesn’t disappear overnight – it is vanishes day by day, one lawless act after another. Oversized portraits on government buildings may look like vanity. But they are also a warning. We must take it seriously.
If you have information about other illegal propaganda purchases, my office wants to hear from you. Whistleblowers can report directly to Congress.
Let’s be clear: this is not normal. It’s not lawful. And it’s not democratic. It’s propaganda – paid for with your money. We are demanding answers, accountability, and a full halt to this abuse of taxpayer funds.
This is not only a waste of taxpayer dollars. It’s also an authoritarian tactic. Dictators from Stalin to Saddam plastered their images on government buildings to demonstrate power. Now, the Trump Administration is doing the same in Washington.
Since 1951, federal law has explicitly prohibited using taxpayer funds for propaganda and self-aggrandizement. This isn’t a gray area. It’s illegal. And it violates the Constitution’s command that no funds leave the Treasury except as appropriated by Congress.
These aren’t informational signs. They don’t explain programs, benefits, or public services. They are giant portraits of the President. They look like they're straight out of North Korea. And they are the textbook definition of propaganda.
In just four months, three federal agencies have paid for massive political banners with your tax dollars: - USDA: ~$16,400 - Dept. of Labor: ~$6,000 - HHS: ~$34,000 That’s at least $50,000 in taxpayer money for Trump propaganda.
congrats to all the media outlets carrying on charlie's work of silencing speech www.404media.co/behind-the-b...
We sure showed those South Koreans! How dare they try to come over here and spend billions of dollars. Go spend your money somewhere else!!
Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. If the government shuts down it will be their fault.
For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."
This Is Really Pathetic! I Guess he Doesn’t Have A Real Job….
NEWS: After the silencing of a top conservative, Trump & the GOP geared up over the wknd for a crackdown on liberal voices, vowing lifetime internet bans, firings, and even travel blacklists. The irony is scary. The implications are scarier. www.treason.io/p/news-civil...
Hey guys, I understand you really want the left to stop calling you Nazis - and that’s fair - but maybe stop calling everything you disagree with communism.
Why won't any of the sports teams honoring Charlie Kirk play some clips of him? Please show us what you are celebrating. Don't be shy about it. Show us what made him so great. Play his greatest hits.
Now we are seeing the claim that "Unvaccinated kids are healthier." Every credible study shows the opposite of the claim: unvaccinated kids aren’t healthier...they’re at higher risk of dangerous, preventable disease. Again, every credible study shows the opposite of the claim.
Individuals are being targeted on hit lists for their opinions. Private companies are being coerced into monitoring employee social media. They are weaponizing Charlie Kirk to curtail your free speech rights.
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t want you to know her opponent’s name. That’s how desperate she is to keep her seat. I’m Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, and farmer. I’m running against her. Share my name.
COLD HARD FACTS: 74% of political violence is perpetrated by far-right extremists. ONLY 4% is from left-wing extremism.
No massive exit wound on Charlie Kirk? That doesn’t mean no .30-06. Here’s why the viral claim is pure garbage.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com
Hoping South Korean companies think twice. The US government cannot be trusted. There is no process where people from another country are safe here. Not workers nor athletes nor tourists.
Firing people over what they said about Kirk is more than censorship — it’s conditioning. Neighbors turning on neighbors, employers punishing dissent. This is how you build a modern secret police.
I hadn’t seen this. Kirk, the moderate free speech guy who did politics the right way per some liberals (!), called for Biden to be executed. Meanwhile Joe Biden put out a very strong statement condemning Kirk’s killing. Both sides!
What?
Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.
Plant should be closed. America does not want investment nor partners. These people were abused and will not return. Oh well.
100% Noam should be owning this! Why did they send Marco Rubio’s deputy … It’s too dangerous for countries to invest & send their workers to the US. Or to send their top athletes for competitions & even the Olympics in the US. Boycott of international sports would send an enormous message.
300 million? Wow almost the whole US population!
If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.
Like they will ever return. Koreans should just close the plant. Just increase unemployment in Georgia. I’m sure that’s ok since ICE got the “bad guys.”
Oh you don’t say
“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...
An apology is insufficient. Everyone email foxfeedback@foxnews.com and tell them Kilmeade must be fired immediately. #GoodTrouble
Don't stop sharing Charlie Kirk's own words and videos of hate. People need to know. Don't be silenced. MAGA and corporate America are making him into a saint.
It's worth remembering that political violence is never the answer by taking a look at The Six Principles of Kingian Nonviolence and discussing them with your family and friends:
A "communist," in the typical American usage, is someone who...does the kinds of things Trump is doing. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/no-zohran-...
Too late. We know what he believes. Not very Christian.
And Portugal announces they are buying French jets rather than F-35s. Great idea to send Vance and Don Jr on a scouting mission as a precursor to a Greenland takeover.
Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
Oh, his job was never in jeopardy.
Strongly disagree, you can’t make a callus remark like that and then take it back for no other purpose than appeasement. He meant what he said.
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 Kilmeade issues a weak apology about giving homeless people lethal injections and Fox just moves on with zero consequences. As usual.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
here's today's post: "Brian Kilmeade has his own ‘final solution‘ for the homeless" — also: Kash Patel sucks at his job, and Stephen Miller just plain sucks. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —
People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police
Too late. He did not misspeak. He actually thought this comment appropriate. FOX agrees with this. This media company has never shied away from condemning others they disagree with or deem undesirable. It’s too bad Murdoch was deemed so when he immigrated.
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸
Yes, quite.
