๐ฅMeanwhile, Republican states across the country are engaged in an unprecedented wave of hyper-partisan #gerrymandering explicitly intended to ensure that elections for the House of Reps will be over before they begin. @paulwaldman.bsky.social #Espionage #Sedition #AbuseOfPower #Voting #Law #SCOTUS
Had the ( #FoxCorp) #WSJ prioritized journalism over sensationalism it would have waited to verify this incendiary story. Had it weighed for a nanosecond the damage to ๐บ๐ธ that such a headline might cause, it would have dug deeper. @newsjennifer.bsky.social ๐๐ผ #InformationWarfare #LIES #FakeNews ๐ฏ
Call it what it is: governance by threat of pain and demand for tribute, and the death of free speech at the hands of a #fascist #tyrant turning the screws on the #media, dissent, and a dying democracy. @deanblundell.bsky.social #TrumpCrimeFamily #NationalSecurity open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...
Hereโs the problem the White House wonโt say out loud: ๐ฅ#ANTIFA is not an org. There is no founder, board, dues, national office, bank account. Itโs a decentralized idea #antifascism ๐บ๐ธclaimed by loose networks of activists, affinity groups.. @deanblundell.bsky.social #TheBigLie #Project2025
Defamation lawsuits are a longstanding part of Trumpโs repertoire, which he first learned at the feet of ๐ณ๏ธโ๐#RoyCohn, one of ๐บ๐ธmost notorious #bullies. In the 1980s, Trump sued the Pulitzer-winning #ChicagoTribune #architecture critic Paul Gapp for $500M @rbreich.bsky.social #Bribery #Blackmail
ABUSE BY GOP โThe largest operator of ABC affiliates, Nexstarโwhich needs #FCC approval for a $6.2 billion mergerโsaid it would stop airing Kimmelโs show from its stations.โ @hcrichardson.bsky.social #AbuseOfPower #DOJ #FBI #Coverup #EpsteinFiles #FreeSpeech #1Amendment #Law #TrumpCrimeFamily
On Sep 11, #Brazilโs #SupremeCourt convicted #Bolsonaro, 4-1, & sentenced him to 27 yrs & 3 months in prison for conspiring against democracy; taking part in an armed criminal org; organizing a #coup & damaging govt property & protected cultural assets. @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social ๐๐ผ #Espionage
This could explain a lot. Rolling out the red carpet, sparing no expense, placing Trump ahead of the King, standing anywhere near Kate... It explains a lot. *Corrected from previous post that referenced Edward. Hard to manage corruption in the political space, isn't it? www.bbc.com/news/world-u...
โ.. to distract from the fact that the #EpsteinFiles have yet to be released. Thereโs a constant hum of Trumpโs incessant push to grow a more muscular, imperial presidency that will allow the Article II branch of govt to eclipse the Article I & Article III branches. #NationalSecurityThreat ๐ฏ
But his sacking opens a terrifying new era of government #censorship in #USA & it builds on a model of #extortion that Trump was already using against other #news orgs, #law firms & #universities. #AbuseOfPower #Bribery #Blackmail #TrumpCrimeFamily #DOJ #GOP #Dictatorship #FreeSpeech #1Amendment
From the Daily Beans. If youโd like to send an email or call Nexstar, who thinks Jimmy Kimmel is a threat, and had him yanked off the air, please see below Gary Weltman is the Executive Vice President and Chief Communication Officer at Nexstar Phone: 972-373-8800 Email: [email protected]
FELON Trump has brokered a deal allowing #TikTok to be purchased by a consortium of #billionaire BFF #LarryEllison & #MarcAndreesen. US officials have acknowledged that Washingtonโs push to grab ๐ฏcontrol of TikTok was because of the opposition to the #Gaza #holocaust .. #GenocideDON #AIPAC ๐ฏ
The network, owned by ๐ฅ#Disney made its decision only hours after (SWAMP) #FCC chairman Brendan Carr publicly attacked @jimmykimmel.com s comments and hinted that the agency might review #ABCโs broadcast license in response. #Dictatorship #TrumpCrimeFamily #Bribery #AbuseOfPower #FreeSpeech #DOJ
Amid the ruins of #Hiroshima, faint outlines left etched into surfaces still tell the story of August 6, 1945. Known as #nuclear #shadows, these imprints were created when the bombโs radiant heat #bleached surfaces, while shielding objects and people left their mark.
I saw an interesting convo on xitter between MAGAs. One was saying they thought the crackdown on liberals was going too far: actually recognized it as the "cancel culture" they railed against, only on the other side. This surprised me. Maybe a few are realizing either everyone is free or no one is.
๐จIsrael's culture minister has threatened to #axe #funding for the country's #national #film awards after "The Sea," a story about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, won its top award. The film, about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy, won best film at the Ophir Awards - Israel's equivalent of the Oscars.
"We will not stand by as the Trump administration tries to destroy one of the largest public university higher education systems in the country and bludgeons academic freedom at the University of California, the heart of the revered free speech movement" As a Berkeley alum, I strongly support this:
The First Amendment means little if media companies cave to political pressure. Jimmy Kimmel was suspended just hours after an FCC official publicly pressured ABC to take him off the air. This is a direct threat to free expression. Add your name: peoplefor.org/DefendKimmel

Hello, @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social? Do it! "the door is open.

I'm so filled with rage right now I can't see straight. I hate this country, I hate living here. I don't want to live in a fucking fascist dictatorship. Fuck these "people" who want to erase anyone who doesn't "think" the way they do. I will NEVER pretend to be one of them. Never!!!
Everything that's happening to us now is thanks to: James Comey not admitting Trump was under investigation & lying about Hillary's email. Mitch McConnell fucking over Obama w/SCOTUS & then NOT impeaching the SOB twice. Merrick Garland doing absolutely NOTHING in four years. All White Men
