"It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it."

Just a reminder that they could've have said *Anything* was the cause of autism, and they CHOSE to punish pregnant people who need pain management. 🙃

Free speech scholars say ABC's decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely represents "jawboning," when government officials pressure private companies to suppress speech.

"Political violence" is something bad that happens between political factions in a democracy. Fascism is not a political faction in a democracy. Fascism undermines the very notion of democracy. Fascists have abdicated any claim to political civility, which they only ever claim for themselves anyway.

Congestive heart failure, I'd say (not an MD). Edema in the ankles. Bruising on the back of one hand - frequent IV diuretics? The heavy diuretics alone could be responsible for chronic kidney disease. His slipping in and out of abject, inarticulate confusion would then suggest renal encephalopathy.

Events on the ground are moving faster than I can read and write, so I got a little help from our friendly neighborhood chatbot. civic-literacy-before-bedtime.ghost.io/final-assault/

So is anybody gonna do that regime change thing in Israel?

#NoKings vs #NoCrowds

The Trump Mobile phone has Palantir surveillance written all over it. Change my mind.

No badge = no legal authority Face coverings + refusal to ID = unlawful detainment

I'm not allowed to reply to this post, so I guess I'll have to quote it. How is this ruling going to be enforced? Trick question. It's fucking NOT going to be enforced. The judiciary no longer has any means of enforcement against the executive branch.

A good read.

Imperialism is something that fascists do. There's no such thing as a pro-democracy imperialist.

If manufacturing returns to the US, it's only going to employ a few engineers and designers, not factory workers. Any new factories are going to be 100% "AI" and robotics. (And yes, this will be a disaster.) Gee, I wonder if there's an oligarch who owns both an "AI" company and a robotics company.

Explain in list form what all you think democracy entails, and indicate when you think each was fulfilled in this country.

can't let those IDEAS sneak across the border, no how

Finance lemmings react to Trump's announcement of a 90-day temporary partial tariff pause like they've just seen God.

If this keeps up, I'm gonna start writing sternly-worded letters. Ha! Checkmate, fascists!

big shadow docket decision coming: can the us government exile you to a torture prison overseas vs no it can't

Looks Like Loser Stock Market Still Has Trump Derangement Syndrome! And probably also a case of the woke. www.wonkette.com/p/looks-like...

@timobrien.bsky.social who was once Trump's biographer, is not optimistic that people can talk Trump off the ledge he's dragged the world onto: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

They keep saying you can't just "identify" as whatever gender you want, and yet they "identify" as "Christians".

GOOD DAY AMERICA! Today, #HandsOff protests against the Trump administration are happening across the country and our journalists are spread far and wide to cover it all. 🫡 Want to tune in? Here's who to follow 🧵:

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Didn't wanna believe the rumor, so I went and checked: Fox News turned off the stock ticker that always runs across the bottom of the screen. :D

2026: Sham election, or no election? If there are "options" and "methods" for a third term, then there are for suppressing elections as well.

Our nation's Founders were pathological optimists and utterly naive. What a doomed piece of crap they bequeathed us.

Does this link work for everybody? If not, I'm going to have to start writing on Ghost even before I back out of Facebook. www.facebook.com/share/p/1DDi...

This is what he really is a used up rapist liar cheat and fraud

Why are people assuming that if Musk leaves the White House, he can no longer influence the fascist regime he created?

Strom Thurmond made his Senate record while fighting against Black voting rights. It stood for 67 years. A Black man is about to break it.

Hi folks: Facebook appears to be taking down my posts. Please remember they are available for free here (no paywall), and can be received by email (also free-- just don't put in your credit card information). I guess if I'm being banned I'm doing something right?

Pretending that the rule of law still applies is a form of denialism. Call out the deniers. They're part of the problem.

This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.
