I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives (racists? fascists?) on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.'

Here are some of the highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Here's the full 'debate': www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S-W...

Trump: Take Kimmel off the air!

Trump: I had nothing to do with Kimmel getting taken off.

[Kimmel comes back]

Trump: Take Kimmel off the air again or I will make you pay!

@cbsnews.com if you’re only willing to offer closed captioning that does not truly function, why offer closed captioning at all? This goes for all of CBS programming.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

So let me see if I have this right, the same Republicans who are saying Charlie Kirk was murdered for exercising his freedom of speech because he said things some didn’t like, are punishing people for exercising their freedom of speech because they said things they didn’t like?

The diabolical Democrats. They are tricky!😉

JoJoFromJerz @jojofromjerz.bsky.social · Sep 9

So hold on, we’re supposed to believe that the Democrats forged Trump’s birthday drawing to Epstein 22 years ago, put it in a leather binder & had it seized during his first term, so they could bring it out AFTER he won reelection for his second term?

Are you fucking kidding me?

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials & we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, they still get a trial."

I wish somebody would ask him to specifically list the "seven" or however many wars he claims to have ended and then hand him a map and ask him to show us on it where the wars were.

I'm going to be on with @velshi.com at 11 to talk about my article on the small acts of noncompliance that we can take against our dispicable government.

I guess Summer is over.

On the Power of Small Acts of Noncompliance

At a moment when large-scale resistance can feel futile, there are other ways to oppose, engage, and fight back.

This!

I wish Biden had just fired Trump appointees in independent federal agencies left and right. It would have forced the SCOTUS to address these issues with a Democratic president, and then those would have been precedents that would be more awkward for the Court to backtrack (w/o looking obvious)

Big props to whoever came up with the idea of calling Trump “Metamucilini”

3 facts that should drive the news:

1) DOGE has committed, rather than found, fraud.
2) A bunch of antisemites are using a claim to police antisemitism to take over universities.
3) In spite of claims they're cracking down on China, Trump's FP & financial policies have vastly helped China.

Alt National Park Service @altnps.bsky.social · Apr 8

A lot of people have been asking us about the rumor that Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act on April 20th. We want to remind everyone to take things one day at a time and face each battle as it comes.
