AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

If they do this in one camp then it will be implemented in more!

This ICE facility was found to have no less than 60 violations in 50 days! This is happening in all ICE facilities…

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but I refuse to be silent. I’m canceling Disney+ and Hulu until ABC reinstates Jimmy Kimmel. #BoycottDisneyABC

I didn’t have agreeing with Ted Cruz on my bingo card.

“Ted Cruz says FCC chairman Brendan Carr sounded more like an organized crime boss than a federal regulator when he threatened to revoke ABC’s licenses”

Eric Swalwell to the FCC chair while wearing his Jimmy Kimmel hat: "Democrats are going to have a majority in just over a year...get a lawyer." ✊✊🏻✊🏾

Keep fighting, my friends! We need to seize that majority and FINALLY give this administration some real oversight!

Jimmy Kimmel wasn't suspended because of what he said. He was suspended because the FCC threatened his employer.
That's state-sanctioned censorship and it is a GIANT RED FLAG 🚩🚩🚩 that authoritarianism isn’t *coming* it’s ALREADY HERE. Today it's Jimmy. Tomorrow it's the rest of us.

We’re on the verge of a government shutdown because Republicans refuse to fix the health care emergency in America.

I’m on my way to the Senate floor to sound the alarm.

Trump thinks his rule is absolute.

But in America, we don’t have kings and we won’t back down to chaos, cruelty, and corruption.

We’re taking to the streets again on October 18 to say NO KINGS. Make a plan to do your part to turn this into the largest show of defiance against Trump’s regime yet. 👇
No Kings

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs.

The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

To be clear, this means the constitution is no longer the law of the land in America.

Something can be ruled unconstitutional in Massachusetts but still allowed to go into effect in Texas or Florida.

Whether you are born American now depends on where in America you were born.

UPDATE on Judge Hannah Dugan’s case ‼️ This is a tipping point in attempts to suppress dissent by targeting our judiciary, threatening the very foundations of our democracy. We cannot remain silent as the admin wears away at the rights of citizens and immigrants alike. @polrev.bsky.social #50501
