After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

This is what I mean. Trump just makes up a completely delusional description of reality. He doesn't operate in facts - but WE do.
So we can't entertain the singular delusions of one grandpa, rambling for attention.
A REAL world is out there beyond his microphone. And the rest of us live in it!

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Hello Dems. More like this please.
A rambling and incoherent Trump wants to turn DC into his personal police state despite a 30-year low in crime.
He's a pathetic wannabe dictator who wants to distract you from his connection to the Epstein files, skyrocketing costs, and his weak job numbers.
Don't let him.

This morning Donald Trump listed a bunch of Black & Brown American cities as places he wants to invade after he uses the American military & the DC police to take over DC.
He claims that DC is in the middle of some sort of crime wave. The statistics say that is not true.
This is fascism in action.

Deployed federal troops to disperse people in sleeping bags.

It’s been 15 years since Outside Royalty played our last show. This clip is one of my favorites ever taken of us. This is from Amneville, France, on show 13 of a 28-show tour, so we were firing on all cylinders. Love the backbeats way over the head and the doubled vocals.

Just in case it’s not already clear that ICE is a white supremacist thug army, Homeland Security is recruiting with a “defend your culture” slogan.

During the 2024 campaign Trump literally just said that if he wins they will "fix it so Republicans will never have to vote again" and the press was like "huh I wonder what he means by that, doesn't seem like something we should follow up on"
In an alarming move, the Department of Justice has demanded voter and election information from at least 19 states
DOJ Seeking Voter And Election Information From At Least 19 States
The move's alarmed states, which have the constitutional authority to run elections and are protected from sharing individual data with the government.

Watch and decide, but I was never fully convinced he was shot in the first place. Never mind that his ear should’ve been blown off—now completely healed. Or that the Secret Service took their time getting him offstage.
But from this angle: you see the photographers guided into place…
