The horrors persist, etc.
95 Democrats voted for a House resolution that honors a white supremacist and misogynist, calling him "a courageous American patriot" and "fierce defender of the American founding and its timeless principles." WTF is the matter with you, @housedemocrats.bsky.social? www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...

Capitalism and fascism really are a match made in (nondenominational) hell.

“fascist government controls media and bans dissent” is a straightforward description of what’s happening in the united states
The federal government is dictating what speech is permitted.

*DISNEY SAYS 'JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE' TO BE PREEMPTED INDEFINITELY
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr: "There's actions we can take on licensed broadcasters. It's long past the time that...Comcast and Disney say 'We're not gonna run Kimmel anymore...because we licensed broadcasters are running the possibly of fines or licensed revocation from the FCC.'"

Also, it is time to stop calling actions like the ones by Columbia University or Paramount or #Nexstar Media or ABC, etc., "capitulation" or "obedience." It is the enthusiastic embrace of fascism. They couldn't wait, really. #JimmyKimmel

Don't tell me that "people didn't vote for this." They did. 47 and company were extremely clear about what they were going to do in office, including exacting "revenge." People enthusiastically waved "Mass Deportations Now" signs at campaign rallies. And dude was in office before... #Kimmel #Fascism

I'm sure the Free Speech (TM) folks who spent the last 20 years yelling about the evil censorship perpetrated by sarcastic social media replies or protesting undergrad students will get on this issue any day now. deadline.com/2025/09/nexs...

Catching up with the Kash Patel and RJK, Jr. hearings, and man, fascism is so deeply, deeply stupid. Evil, murderous, and revolting, yes - but it's also the dumbest mofos on the planet in charge.

They love trying it with slavery. You turn your back even for a second and they’re like “black people loved being bought and sold.”

Oh, look, actual censorship. You know, the one where a governmental agency silences constitutionally protected speech. Any "this Stalinist thought police person censors me by contradicting me on social media" folks who wanna weigh in? Didn't think so.
ICE just posted this video taking down the sign in Mount Pleasant on Twitter.

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

A man understandably refused to hand over his ID or get out of the car for a bunch of masked thugs who refused to identify themselves.

And when he drove away, they opened fire on him.

This isn’t how you do any sort of enforcement when your goal is to uphold the law. This is gangsterism.

What a depressing #AJLT series finale. One saving grace of the original series was the centrality of the protagonists' friendship. But decades later, the end and moral of the entire tale is that people will be happiest in their nuclear families/relationships, and Carrie is by herself now. Great. 🙄

Two things can be true: Hakeem #Jeffries is bad at his job, and the relentless criticism of Jeffries is motivated by racism. Sit with that.

And this is what happens when the terminally trolling, misogynistic, and racist "men's rights activists" who harassed, e.g., feminist activists throughout the 2010s are in charge now. Too bad that said feminist activists were just "too sensitive" and totally exaggerating the dangers back then.
As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.

In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...

If you watch Hitler speak he seems so fucking silly, and it took me a while to understand that this part of how fascism gets as far as it does.

It doesn't just look silly in retrospect.

It looks silly in real time. So silly that Serious People refuse to take it seriously until it is too late.
if you're suprised how stupid fascism is it was in Germany in the 30s/40s too, it's just that hollywood makes you believe that they were all extremely put together.

Good. In the long run, there needs to be a new federal Voting Rights Act that outlaws all such practices - that won't happen with the current SCOTUS, though. In the short term, given the extraordinary danger, fight fire with fire.
