Turning the purely ratings-driven platforming of a spectacle that only helps the far-right demagogue who once before tried to abolish democracy and constitutional government as a necessary civic service to get Libs and Lefties to leave their echo chambers is utterly cynical and insulting. 1/
“In an ever-changing, incomprehensible world the #masses had reached the point where they would, at the same time, believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true.”
Harlan Crow didn’t only give hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Supreme Court Justice… he also gave over $450,000 to Republicans sitting on the Judiciary Committee that oversees the courts.
Of course they don’t want to subpoena Harlan Crow.
Nine republican senators (All On Judiciary) got checks from Harlan Crow
Collectively, they've accepted nearly half a million dollars in #campaign cash from #Crow since the turn of the century, all downplay conflicts of interest & defend Clarence Thomas.
"#Twitter CEO #Elon#Musk said late Tuesday that the platform had not signed a formal deal with former #FoxNews host #Tucker#Carlson, who earlier in the day 👉announced plans to launch a new show on #Twitter.👈
“...Tucker is subject to the same rules & rewards of all content creators,” Musk said...
"...many platforms left that allow free speech. The last big one remaining in the world, the only one, is #Twitter, where we are now,” #Carlson said in his announcement."
Anyone who has followed #Elmo's more and more #rightwing inclinations on the #BorgSite can hardly be surprised.
The #Santos indictment was date stamped filed on May 9. Its case number, 23-cr-197, evidences that it was issued in the CM/ECF system sometime between May 2 and May 4. There are 4 sealed dockets in the EDNY CM/ECF system from May 4 to now.
I love how no one in #India seems concerned that the government (officially atleast) banned major #encrypted communication tools, or has any idea how little the option it leaves for the citizens and #journalists that might otherwise have some tools to use to secure their #privacy from abusive #corporations and the current #fascist regime.
CNN Exclusive: Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican whose astonishing pattern of lies, fraud and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.

A shitshow for sure. But aren't you assuming the problem is that the bans just aren't done right when the real issue is that there are any bans at all?
The bans are just a vehicle to focus the anger of political opponents and please his #fascist base. #DeSantis doesn't care about how "well crafted" they are 🤷
Stop saying Democrats have no plan on guns. Here’s the plan.
“Once again I ask Congress to send me a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Enacting universal background checks. Requiring safe storage. Ending immunity for gun manufacturers. I will sign it immediately.”
There are two very wrong, very dangerous claims being made in my mentions right now. One is that nothing ever happens on gun safety. The other is that Democrats have done nothing on the issue.
There’s even an odd third one claiming Democrats haven’t been bipartisan enough on it. These claims are not only wrong but dangerous to efforts to elect people to office who will bring more change. They’re dangerous to efforts to save more lives. Don’t spread such things if you care about helping. 1/3
“….ample evidence has demonstrated that the Proud Boys actively seek out violence and reject multiracial democracy. At their core, the Proud Boys are fascists, full stop… The organization’s activities on Jan. 6th, in which they conspired to subvert the democratic process… was merely one instance of the Proud Boys’ use of political violence in furtherance of their goals…”
The fascist GOP bastards who attack Black prosecutors and remove them (and white progressive DAs) from office don’t want to end crime. They want to maintain it. They fundraise off it. They fearmonger YOU the voter, around it. They want incarceration. They’d have no job otherwise. They want to maintain a system of incarceration and oppression.
Claims He’s Been Treated Worse Than a President Who Was Very Famously Assassinated
”Trump claimed, failing to note that those horrible things might have to do with Jackson’s history of ethnic cleansing. But no, the former guy does not believe Andy J. had it the worst off. How about Lincoln? But you know what? Lincoln apparently still didn’t have it as bad.
It’s a shame that Republicans blocked the Equal Rights Amendment from becoming law today.
They can twist it however they wish, but it’s fact: Republicans voted against explicitly including women’s equality in our Constitution.
Republicans want control - they are blatantly against women, children, people of color. VOTE THEM OUT. They don't represent the majority of Americans. #CriminalRepublicans#fascist#fascism
The Los Angeles Times drops bombshell on twitter troll and fascist elon musk, reveals that a brand new study just found that he is lying about hate speech going down on Twitter since he took over — finding that it has actually DOUBLED since he took over.
This puts toxic twitter users at risk of helping extremists become “radicalized online by what has been termed stochastic terrorism, in which hate speech is used to incite violent acts.”
When you call someone #fascist, you're literally comparing that person with people who slaughtered millions of people and waged the biggest war in history.
So next time you wanted to use that word, be very careful and make sure you know exactly what it means.
