California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The people who are silent over the East Wing demolition at the White House are the same people who get hysterical when we take down a Confederate monument.

The whole point of democracy is so one person's derangement does not become everybody's problem. It's social hygiene. The fact the richest men in the West are a mix of grotty twelve year olds and deranged apocalypse fanatics is a problem, and we should be honest about it.

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time.

Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles.

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power.

The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power.

Both sides are not remotely the same.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

People arent just mad that Charles Entertainment Kirk is getting dragged, they're also mad that for the first time in their lives, they're seeing that the people who either didn't know about their bigotry or never addressed it think that they're racist, and they dont know how to process this.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?

Why not acknowledge and confront it?

Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?

Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?

These problems won't go away.

And now that we know the shooter was a Groyper, it's confirmed that this was a case of fascist on fascist violence. Or at the very least someone who was radicalized by and speaking the language of fascists online.

Robert Ghoulet @bostonjerry.bsky.social · Sep 11

There is EVERY reason to believe that a fellow fascist shot Kirk. Someone who thought he wasn't extreme enough, or who came to believe he was a traitor to the cause, or who became obsessed/unhinged, or even someone who thinks it will help their preferred fascist take his place in MAGA hierarchy.

Republicans gaslighting us all that they are opposed to political violence in the name of pursuing even more political violence is brazen and infuriating, but expected. What is really revealing is the way that centrist and liberal establishment 100% plays along with the lie.

Please don't feel like you have to coddle Nazis, racists, bigots and misogynists. They deeply wanted this violence, but they wanted it for you. They didn't expect to suffer any consequences.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
