The free speech equivalence is not just about shouting “fire!” in a crowded theater; Fox News are now operating at the level of setting smoke bombs off in a crowded theater - then shouting “Fire!” Fox News are operating with impunity as a party organ of misinformation, disinformation & provocation

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Keystone Kash gets Community Noted on his pathetic attempt to deflect attention from his jet flights to his girlfriend’s music career.

The utter incompetence of ChatGPT is genuinely baffling to me because I’ve seen people ask it basic mathematical equations and it’ll pull numbers right out of its robotic ass. We’re destroying the planet for tech that can’t even do what regular computers have been able to do for decades 💀

Dictators don’t like math—because math insists on reality.

We’re still trying to work out how this math maths. Is he suggesting people are crossing illegally out of the US into Mexico and Canada? Math exposes the lie, but when reality is inconvenient, the authoritarian will simply demand a new one.

Piss weak reporting, to be frank.
The press are reporting that ICE shot a man "from behind".

Why are they not reporting "a man was shot in the back, like by that coward Robert Ford."|

If nothing else, the gun nuts will rightly see it as the actions of an abject coward, right?

An abject coward, right, motherfuckers?

can someone make a supercut of johnson saying he doesn't know anything
Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

It’s criminal.
I know the guy is innocent and the thugs are guilty. I hope the guy sues for unprovoked assault with deadly weapons.
I hope he wins millions

They should indeed, which begs the question why they haven’t.

The Portland Police Department should be asked why they permit anyone to break state laws.

ICE agents who commit crimes should be arrested like anyone else would be.

Unmasked and fingerprinted. Criminal records searched. Etc.

It can often feel like these fascists will never be held to account.

Remember, they wear masks for a reason. They use Signal for a reason. They block the press for a reason.

They do not even believe in themselves. They are scared their coup will be foiled—and they’re right to be, because it will.
It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.
“Fool me once,
shame on you;
Fool me twice,
I’m MAGA!”
And yet some people will
“Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, I’m MAGA!”

The reporters are now client media and State Propaganda outlets.

The whole lot need to be purged if they cannot answer as to how they actually did their jobs and asked questions, rather than as to how and why they just regurgitated regime PR puffs and talking points.
Ooh, it's on a fucking powerpoint. It MUST be true!

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "Why do we say the Republican Party is the only one advancing common sense reform solutions? Because we've proven it. We did it in the big beautiful bill. We took a look at Medicaid & we took on that challenge. We took action to reduce fraud, waste & abuse in Medicaid"
