A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Experts have compiled traits of fascism and Trump’s government exhibits all of them. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…it’s a duck. @malcolmnance.bsky.social

5 things Trump did this week:

1. Called for news anchors to be fired over Iran bombing assessment reporting

2. Lied about his monster spending bill

3. Started selling Trump “Daddy” shirts

4. Threatened Canada with more tariffs

5. Kept the Epstein files safe for 23rd week

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

I don’t think I’ll ever stop being angry at how predictable this all was, and how easy it would have been to prevent any of it from happening, by voting.

Yet another ICE impersonator caught. How many are they not catching?

As @MarshaBlackburn @SenJohnson & Sexton try to protect masked unidentified vigilantes with legislation— we should be banning this dangerous insanity instead.

This is what a decent human being does. We were very lucky to have him as our president who did so much for Americans. I still can’t believe what we have now.

Thank you. It is truly unbelievable what is happening in U.S. today. Thank you for continuing to fight legally for what is RIGHT. Good will conquer evil.

It's hard to believe that after World War II Congress didn't amend the Constitution to be easily able to remove any president who even slightly began to implement authoritarian practices. There are a mountain of reasons for him to be removed right now. imo.

🚨In 2018, Trump's unaccredited "University" FAILED‼️

👉He LOST a $25 million settlement in favor of the students of his FRADULENT school‼️

👉The settlement was a stunning blow for Trump, who had REFUSED to compensate the victims of his SHAM University‼️

😡American General, Benedict Arnold, defected to the enemy British Army to plan the capture of Fort WEST POINT!

TRAITOR TRump tried to overthrow Democracy & is Allied with Enemy Putin.

On June 14, 1779 would the ARMY desire to give Benedict Arnold a US Flag for its ANNIVERSARY?

This should be seen as evidence of the crisis: federal judges fear that Trump will order U.S. Marshals to stand down on securing the safety of judges whose decision they don’t like. This is just devastating.

I’ll say this and then I’m gonna step back b/c 2026 IS THE ONLY NATIONAL ELECTION THAT’S IMPORTANT NOW.
No Dem presidential candidate wins w/o high Black turnout & vote.
So stop making it like Black voters are expendable or that you can serve up any candidate chosen by Pelosi, Clooney or MSM & win.
