Texas House just helped Trump rig the midterm elections

Totalitarianism stacking the media deck…
again, no mention at all that the incoming new owners of CBS are the Ellison family, billionaire friends of Trump, who are already shaping the trajectory of the new CBS via Skydance execs before the deal ink is dry
that's apparently just not relevant enough to mention

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Let’s be clear: This is political censorship. Just as CBS’ parent company handed Trump $16 million to settle a spurious lawsuit, this decision is about preemptively bowing to a regime that demands obedience.
We stand with Stephen Colbert and every voice that Trump wants silenced.

When @bradtakei.bsky.social and I first got together, we never imagined we’d one day celebrate Pride openly, let alone post about it on the internet. But here we are, joy and all. Happy Pride, everyone! Let’s keep showing up, speaking out, and marching forward (glitter optional, but encouraged). 🌈✨

How many more must die to appease the billionaires?
When 22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht tried to get a refill on his inhaler, the medication he needed had jumped from $70 to over $500.
So Cole couldn't get his medicine to prevent asthma attacks. Five days later he had a severe asthma attack and died.
Now, his family is suing.

So, a private prison contractor lured immigrants to "appointments," where the immigrants were grabbed by masked ICE agents who refused to identify themselves.
