The Late Show is our latest loss in the battle against fascism. Who knew when they were voting in 2024 that The Late Show was on the ballot? Thank you, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for the many years of quality entertainment and lighthearted news during tough times

What’s happening in Tennessee is sick. The South will not rise again. Confederates are traitors and losers. Now, then and always.

Very happy to see @janetmillsforme.bsky.social dropping out of her primary today, hopefully @schumer.senate.gov takes a page out of her book and resigns soon as well!

@kenmartin.bsky.social has been added to the growing group of “democrats” who are not up to the moment. You sir should be ashamed. You are an embarrassment. You must release the report of the 2024 election post mortem and you must resign in disgrace!

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

I don’t need to tell you all but ICE is clearly a terrorist organization. From what I’m hearing out of MN it seems like rapid responder lines of communication are being infiltrated. This is likely from NSPM-7. It feels like the entire weight of the US gov is being brought to MN. Who is next I wonder

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Word is that @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social are resisting calls to defund ICE. The two of you must resign in disgrace.

@schumer.senate.gov needs to be primaried. He is a GOP operative. He failed to endorse Zohran, effectively endorsing the candidate that Trump endorsed. Then in the face of massive Dem wins he capitulates? Summer has lost the plot. Senator, you must resign or lose your primary.

@schumer.senate.gov this “attack” on Platner is the most out of touch thing I have ever seen in my life. Resign. The Dems just can’t help but to attack candidates people want even after it already caused them to lose to fascism twice. They’re beyond hopeless.

As things like ending The Late Show and the purchasing of networks by right wing ideological billionaires, I am becoming more and more concerned with the Oligarchs amassing to much power. The future of America is looking bleak for those who enjoy true freedom

I’m telling you, the top story to watch over the next 4 years is the stated goal of “deporting” 1 million people per year (this could increase) and only funding for 100k beds is what happens when they need more than the amount of beds they have. We’re trodding a terrifying path

When I was growing up my Grandpa used to tell this joke about a man during a flood. I’ve been thinking about it with the recent flood news and politicians blaming it on God. It goes like this: One day there was a flood and this guy got stuck on his roof waiting for rescue.

They add up if your ultimate goal is to concentrate as much power as possible into the hands of as few as possible. It’s about blowing all credibility we have on the international scene to allow the lives of avg people to get worse, forcing them to accept worse working conditions and lower pay.

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

The energy portions of the Big Bullshit Bill are huge as well. Abundant energy has often lead to huge innovation and booms in world history. China produces several times the amount of electricity we do and we aren’t planning to close that gap

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

On Trump’s statement re: “deporting” citizens; JD had him pegged from day one. This guy truly is America’s Hitler. One day history will look back and no one will have or ever would be for him. For now we must find a way to organize and ensure he leaves office in Jan of 2029.

It seems pretty clear with events as of late, Trump indicating he is going after large blue cities because they are “centers of Democratic Party power”, Bondi going after “liberal” (Regan, Bush, Obama, Clinton, and TRUMP appointed) judges, that this administration is at war with democrats (small d)
