People have been glossing over this statement by Brendan Carr

He’s not satisfied with forcing Jimmy Kimmel out

He’s going after anyone who criticizes Dear Leader
Carr: We're going to back to that era where local TV stations, judging the public interest, get to decide what the American people think…

I don’t think this is the last shoe to drop… the consequences will continue to flow.

It seems fitting that when authoritarianism came to the US, it would express itself in the form of mad libs.

States are reeling as Trump and the Republicans’ murderous budget bill slashes SNAP benefits — hitting nearly 42 million people.
🛑 62% are families with children
🛑 37% include seniors or people with disabilities
🛑 38% are working families

This is an attack on America’s most vulnerable.

MARK MY WORDS: Geopolitics: both Russia and China now know how easy it is to manipulate Republicans and provoke them to violence. They’re going to flood the zone with false flag, cyber threats and hate speech, bots disguised as the Left. They’re already doing this, but it will increase in intensity.

What’s more astonishing: 1) that the president clearly believes, and repeatedly suggests, that asylum seekers are people from mental asylums, or 2) that no journalist has ever challenged him on this and no mainstream media outlets have done any deep dives on this story?

⚠️This is the Jimmy Kimmel monologue that got his show pulled.

Not hate. Not celebration of death.

Just the truth: Republicans rushed to blame the left before any facts about the shooter or motive were known.

Keep sharing it. Spread the truth.

Even the Dutch are calling out the regime over here for the blatant attack on our 1A, and the personal 1A attack on Jimmy Kimmel.

Enjoy this clip of Dutch comedian Lubach!

Vaclav Havel wrote about the importance of pointing out the law in a totalitarian society - it may not help in a situation where the government makes and enacts laws willy-nilly, but calling it out keeps the insanity of it all in the open for all to see.

Final ACIP update for the Covid vaccine:

1) Covid vaccines for all ages will be based on individual decision-making (no recc).

2) 65+ can just go and get it.

3) 6 mos-65yr, vaccine informed consent will be required to be discussed prior to receipt with 6 points of mandated misinformation

The announcement of health insurance companies that they’ll continue covering routine vaccinations is a huge vote of no confidence in ACIP's recommendations. It reflects a desire by insurers to avoid the cost of illnesses by having their customers vaccinated.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

I feel like I'm the only person who has heard of the police shooting in RURAL Pennsylvania, and if we had a competent democratic party they would use this given how much the GOP has painted cities as violent hell holes.
Pennsylvania mourns 3 officers killed, 2 wounded after police shooting. Updates
The shooting broke out on Sept. 17 as officers were following up on a domestic-related investigation. A suspect was also killed by police.

Before his MAGA conversion, the head of Trump’s antisemitism task force racked up a list of financial troubles, including nearly $400K in unpaid federal taxes, a personal bankruptcy filing, and a trail of court judgments and liens brought by small businesses that worked for him.

You think of all the folks who sacrificed for this country and to watch it get dismantled in such short order by a drug addicted charlatan who has raped more women than he has read books in his life is really something. We should have locked his ass up when we had the chance.
