Just when I think Pete Hegseth is the worst person in the Trump administration, Kristi Noem says something, and I change my mind, then Pam Bondi says something, then JD Vance says something, then Stephen Miller says something, but then Donald Trump says something. Contest over.

Kristi Noem is a liar and a dog killer.

I am so tired of my life being nothing but a pawn to someone else.
Sounds like it’s the GOP that’s playing politics with people’s livelihoods. Hold the line, Dems.

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.
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:

We cannot run. There are not alternatives or tricks we can use to avoid what is coming

We HAVE to fight. You need to call your reps and yell at them. Get your family to call. Get your friends to call.

The only way out of this is by fighting
Why should I have to accept a version of America where we are so afraid of porn that we have effectively banned it thru these laws? Why should I have to lose my job and passion?

Stop telling me to use a VPN or crypto and start fucking contacting people. Thank you.

The problem is wealth inequality.

Perpetuated by Citizens United.
Exploited by billionaires.
And sustained by bigotry.

This is an unsustainable system.

It's very important to make yourself read again. Which I know is very hard, but it's also very important. Read a post a couple times before sharing it. Actually read the article you reblog all the way through. Click the AO3 link you come across and give it a chance. Buy indie books and review them
