ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white.
Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
That’s not making America great again.

Help me figure out what to do. Is there a way to boycott all these oligarchs who are shutting down free speech? Is there a website somewhere or a place to go to figure out how to stop subscribing to things that are funding this? I'm scared and at a loss. #Kimmel #Colbert #FreeSpeech

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Instead of the media’s lazy posthumous takes, I am in favor of Kirk’s actual words being spread far and wide.

Donald Trump will go to the ends of the Earth to make life easier for billionaire CEOs but doesn’t lose a night of sleep screwing over people with student debt.

No one is surprised by this corruption, but coming from the Wall Street Journal this is a bombshell
So, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Donald Trump back in May that his name appeared multiple times in the Epstein files. That’s the reason why Trump has refused to order their release.
Is ANYONE surprised? 🤨

There's a subtle asymmetry between the times when access journalism outlets claim something is newsworthy bc Trump SAID something, and when they report something he said as if it were true.

I work at FDA April 1. Stopped after passing through security and badge in for a security officer to call my name that I can work. Many of my colleagues out the door on this blustery morning. Some finding out they were RIFed. Sad day at White Oak Silver Spring MD. This is not ok.
