When professors at ASU Honors College signed a letter distancing themselves from a Kirk speech the school sponsored, Kirk placed them on TPUSA’s Professor Watchlist and ushered in a wave of threats against them. Dennis Prager called for their firing. This is what Kirk means by being “treated well.”
After the Trump administration cut $400 million of funding to Columbia University over "antisemitism" because of pro-Palestine protests, Charlie Kirk is now warning college campuses that if he's not "treated well" when TPUSA arrives, they'll be next.

The Democrats are not capable of any real resistance to the creep of fascism in America. Every single Democrat should have got up and walked out when Rep Al Green, an elderly black man, was removed for speaking out against Trump. But no, they sat there, doing nothing.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

To be super clear I’m Ukrainian-American and have a personal connection to these horrors. My heart shatters for Ukraine but it is shameful beyond comprehension to continue whistling past any kind of reckoning for the fact that the wheels of America only turn because they are greased by the

I’m as disgusted by the Oval Office fight and our Ukrainian relations as everyone else but it feels like a good time to remind everyone that the US has a long history of propping up foreign dictators and our “protection” has always been an extortion racket. Trump and Vance’s conduct and actions are

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

People are gonna say "well watch what you say- why were they discussing that stuff anyway?" and we need to be clear that a) Rufo is lying about the contents of the chats and b) it's irrelevant because as long as people willing to lie about us have power we are not in control of what happens to us.
The trans ERG chat thing really illustrates why it's so important to the conservatives to define us as perverts and fetishists - because once that definition is in place, anything we say or do, no matter how innocent, becomes evidence that we are monsters who must be brutally punished and killed.
Don's surrendering too much- Trump and the straight guys are talking about sexual assault but the trans people in those chats are discussing healthcare. Rufo is lying about the content of the chats! He's maliciously mischaracterizing talk about healthcare! Don't go along with it even to denounce it!

Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them.

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

To those who thinks this is nonsense gibberish, it is, but it’s also what far right DOGE sycophants are claiming they’re finding amongst the people being fired and having their rights stripped away to further justify dehumanizing them amongst their base. Get ready to hear shit like this in the wild

Also the Grease thing was that I saw it when I was old enough to understand poodle skirts = 50’s, but not old enough to realize that live-action movies could be set in past time periods, so it wasn’t until I was like 8 that I realize that Grease was not actually made in 1959.
February 25, 2025 at 5:59 PM
This song was the music equivalent of Grease for me because my child brain thought that since the song was about 1969 it must have been made in 1969, so then whenever I heard a song with that same 80’s rock sound on the radio, I assumed it was from the 60’s

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
