What a time to have to read this as if it - celebrating differences -weren't a good thing.

"... the Ncuti Gatwa show’s failure to breakout from its established fan base and its big-ticket budget. Others suspect that fears of a “woke” backlash may be a factor, as Doctor Who has embraced diverse storytelling under showrunner Russell T Davies."

Why Disney Ditched ‘Doctor Who’: Sources Say Ratings, Big Ticket Budget & MAGA Politics Were Factors In BBC Deal Failing To Regenerate

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.

You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

conspiracy to make a cop go slow

It was further part of the conspiracy that the co-conspirators, including
RABBITT, ABUGHAZALEH, MARTIN, SHARP, STRAW and WALSH, physically hindered and impeded Agent A and the Government Vehicle such that Agent A was forced to drive at an extremely slow rate of speed to avoid injuring any of the conspirators and in doing so slowly progressed towards the BSSA to discharge the duties of his office.

This and the Chicago indictments make it abundantly clear that the rule of law is dead at DOJ. The agency has been fully weaponized to smite Trump’s enemies and shield his friends.

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

What?

Joseph Cox @josephcox.bsky.social · 1d

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Trump is cutting off food benefits from tens of millions of Americans on November 1.

Even with the government shutdown, there’s a contingency fund that can be tapped to ensure families continue to have food. Trump has decided not to do so.

Trump truly doesn’t care about people.

“… the duly elected representative of Arizona’s 7th district can’t start the job she landed (in a landslide, by the way) on September 23rd because the guy who needs to give her the proverbial keys to her office is refusing to do so.”

Ruth Zakarin @ruthz.bsky.social · 1d

To accuse Adelita Grijalva of looking for national publicity when all she is doing is represent the people she has chosen to serve is peak abusive behavior. It’s gaslighting not just the representative-elect, but her entire district.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
