Instead of the prize being awarded to someone who seems to be doing their best to get rid of democracy, the Nobel committee recognised someone doing the exact opposite - Venezuelan democracy campaigner María Corina Machado 👏

MAGA Requirements:
1. Loud, pious, extremely public devotion to Jesus
2. Blinding hatred for everything Jesus actually taught.

Censorship is so 1984. Read for your rights.

Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, and this year's theme reminds us that the right to read belongs to all of us, that censorship has no place in contemporary society, and that we must defend our rights.

This ridiculous Administration and its ilk are led by some of the most ignorant people known to man. This action is further proof of that.
Ooh fun! More empty appeals for civility from our sentient husk in political form, Gov. Cox, as he continues to prostrate himself before Dear Leader Tr*mp. Hard pass, @60minutes.bsky.social

Real leadership is the opposite of thuggery.

The so-called “strongmen” of the current era — Putin, Trump, and Netanyahu — are not leaders.

They can manipulate public opinion and sustain their bases of power, but they have no moral authority.

They're about to shut down the government to protect the Epstein Files from disclosure. Whatever is in the files must be so unhinged as to be beyond imagination.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

When he feels humiliated, he lashes out.

Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.

He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

Our democracy is collapsing in real time.

Much of the damage will be irreparable.

If you’re waiting to say or do something, you better not wait much longer.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.
Spencer Cox continues on his Tr*mp Cabinet Audition Tour. His obsequiousness is at an 11 right now.

"This is a dark day for our state. It is a tragic day for our nation. I want to be very clear that this is a political assassination."

Utah Gov. Spencer Cox addresses the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University.
The cognitive dissonance from the Charlie Kirk crowd on local news coverage is astounding but expected. Several mentioning how as Kirk was shot the speaker was blaming mass shootings on the “trans” people and are now wailing “why can’t we all get along?”…

Donald Trump has invented a new kind of fascism, all the nasty, authoritarianism of the old fascism, but this time the trains *don't* run on time.

Petty Trump cancels Kamala Harris's Secret Service protection just as she is about to embark on a national book tour. She will be more likely to cross paths with unhinged MAGA lunatics than at any time after leaving office. Trump is an evil clown.
