Gas price is astronomical. Food price is obscene. 5 mass shootings per week. People’s biggest concern: Bad Bunny speaking Spanish at the Super Bowl. SMH!

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Like Hakeem Jeffries either truly believes that we are just gonna ride this era out as a nation and it will be business as usual in 2028 OR he is being paid to behave this way. Either way, he needs to be primaried and voted out

This is all in Project 2025. ALL the Hugh brass going to the Pentagon this week are going to have to PLEDGE their loyalty to TRUMP AND NOT TO THE CONSTITUTION. If they don't they will be replaced. Dems your sleeping or you don't believe Project 2025 even though they have reached 47% of their goals!

People are still trying to stop fascism with words.

I agree 💯 and have been saying this for months. It's time to stop debating the fascists and to start using language to pressure change. This playbook shows how we can do just that to force the fascists to back down: https://americanmanifesto.news/fighting-fascism-the-battleplan-to-break-the-regime

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.

Throwing minorities under the bus is NOT the answer. Though I’m not surprised. Democrats have such a hard-on for “finding common ground” with Bubba in nowhere Arkansas when Bubba would whoop their asses in a heartbeat. But ya know, as long as you both find gay people “icky,” that’s more important.

trump’s numbers are tanking and there is a palpable desire in the electorate for a real alternative and yet the only money in democratic politics is for doing starmerism

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

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.

I don’t know if I can do this. I haven’t been silent for nearly 30 years. I’ve gone through all of my social media that uses my real name and either deleted all posts and likes and unfollowed tons of people I don’t know well-enough to trust. I hate everything about this. Everything.

Good day for people to get up to speed that the vast majority of the commentary class is privileged and much, much more concerned about performing solidarity with the fascists of their class and performing "civility" in order to keep their jobs and please their employers than our rights and safety.

Better check your voting info.

Oh look — @govbilllee’s Secretary of Voter Supression Tre Hargett & Mark Goins purging the Nashville voter rolls ahead of an important midterm cycle. Voter suppression is an art form for Tennessee Republicans.

/2 But here's what people like Charlie Kirk know: It doesn't matter who the shooter actually was. It doesn't matter what their motives actually were. They can lie about it, propagandize it, deny it, and their audience will eat it up. And the legacy media will both-sides it in response.

My Muse Asphyxiated on Mediocrity reposted

I wish that in all the calls in media following Kirk's death, in which they implore everyone to "turn down the volume," they'd at least explain that that is not what Kirk was about. They've transformed him into this quiet, humble soul, when he was at the heart of the problem to which they point.

My Muse Asphyxiated on Mediocrity reposted

As the MSM remembers Charlie Kirk and speaks out against his horrific assassination, let’s recall the Minnesota Congresswoman who was assassinated on June 14th 2025 along with her husband and their dog. Do you even remember her name?!

"Conservative" influencer is wholly inaccurate. We are not facing down "conservatism." We are facing fascism. He was a fascist. Training young Americans to also be fascists.

What the actual fuck. US Tennis Association: “We ask all broadcasters to refrain from showcasing any disruptions or reactions in response to the President’s attendance in any capacity, including ENG [Electronic News Gathering] coverage.”

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Better get ‘em while you still can. They’ll do the same thing to anyone else who opposes them.

Trump DOJ is now looking at ways to ban transgender Americans from owning guns. Worth noting that the Nazis did the exact same thing to the Jews. Also worth noting they have no plans to ban right wing white supremacists from owning guns, even though they commit a vast majority of all mass shootings.

I don't *think* this is what's going on, but we should at least be aware that close to death rumors can be useful if you need a strong man saved by God moment to buck up flagging poll numbers.
