Okay so just to recap the government has basically shut down entirely and we're on the edge of a historical economic bubble pop and we also just implemented a bunch of trade tariffs on the world's biggest exporter do I have that right

Everyone deserves healthcare.

Everyone deserves housing.

Everyone deserves education.

Everyone deserves food & clean water.

This should not be controversial. They’re basic human rights.

We could provide them to everyone if we abolished the billionaire class and taxed corporations properly.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Oh yes, this is clearly now.

A post on X by Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan
) expresses frustration, asking how anyone can read a definition of fascism and not be alarmed, emphasizing that it is happening now. The post includes a quote from Cody Johnston (@drmistercody
) from one day ago, defining fascism as a form of political behavior marked by an obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood, and compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity. The definition describes a mass-based party of nationalist militants working with traditional elites, abandoning democratic liberties, and pursuing redemptive violence for internal cleansing and external expansion without ethical or legal restraints.

I was working on my car today, and when I opened the hood I saw a rats tail vanish into my engine. I cant stop thinking about it. I hated it so much.

PBS & NPR educated the masses… their funding was cut

Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled

Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended

A Fox News host calls for mass killing of homeless people… and keeps his job

Fascism.

He died doing what he loved, being racist and transphobic.

Audience member: "Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?"
Kirk: "Too many."
The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years.
Kirk: "Counting or not counting gang violence?"
Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat.

Don't you all realize what this means? The right will begin a systematic and extralegal oppression of their political enemies and vulnerable populations. This is the first thing I saw on the news after waking up from a 25-year coma.

I'm genuinely confused at so much of my feed being filled with "Don't celebrate Charlie Kirk being shot **because** this gives Trump the go ahead to violently crush opposition." Did you mean to add "faster" to the end of that sentence? Like, he wasn't waiting for an impetus. It's happening already

Vigilantism is wrong.

But it also increases when the rule of law is abandoned because people don't believe that justice can be obtained through the courts.

And I think it's true that justice can no longer reliably be obtained against rich or powerful people in the United States.
