No one should buy the lie that this has anything to do with Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel insulted Trump, well, all the time. Trump wanted him gone and figured out how to get the media to lie about it for him.

Brian Kilmeade just suggested murdering homeless people. A Republican member of Congress talked about exterminating transgender people. Republicans have been very clear that they're not interested in living here with us.
“We are going to have to live here with each other” sounds good in a vacuum. But it reveals itself to be a remarkably naïve and/or disingenuous proposition as soon as we move from abstract notions of “our disagreements” to asking: What are we disagreeing over, exactly?

Here’s a lot of the stuff about Charlie Kirk that the right is now currently engaged in a nationwide witch hunt to suppress. Share it, repeat it, don’t let evil win.

The FCC Chair saying “You can deal with Kimmel the easy way or the hard way” is the very definition of a chilling effect on speech, and a good indicator the First Amendment is a dead letter in the Trump regime. Free speech is dying in America and none of our free speech warriors seem to care

The funny thing is that this didn't happen because Kimmel said something about Kirk. It's because he makes fun of Trump.

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said. “In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

How many people can name the attempted Trump assassin without looking it up? As soon as we found out he had a social media account with a bunch of anti-immigrant and antisemitic posts he poof’d out of public and media interest. Dog bites man.

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

There is no press outlet of any size, in any medium, that would offer this kind of coverage to a Democratic president, no matter the circumstances.
There is a massive, explicit agitprop operation on the right, devoted to the power of the conservative faction, & there is no analogue on the left.
