This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
There shouldn’t be a Department of Homeland Security. It’s a grab bag of various agencies under a dangerously murky heading which can and now has been co-opted for a fascist transition.
Abolish ICE and redistribute the other agencies.
Did Trump get the idea to takeover Greenland from that Gerard Butler movie
Fascism selects for people who think they see through the lie of liberal democracy but who are actually just too broken and malformed to eke out a reasonably satisfying life on conditions of general equality with their fellow citizens.
Sounds like they're trying to Bari the story.
doomers and futility junkies: please do not do that.
Don‘t just say things will never work. if you’re doing to do that, also propose something that will work
If you need a little hope in dark times - Rick Steves fucking rules.
Trump is attempting to obfuscate his role in sex crimes w/ best friend Jeffrey Epstein by releasing photos of Bill Clinton. DO NOT ALLOW the pedophile president to redact his way out of responsibility. Together, w/ Pam Bondi, they're carrying out the greatest cover-up in history.

Here's a quilt of Volume 4 of the Epstein document dump. Gives you a 10,000 foot view of the redactions. that's 2,704 docs.
The Trump / Lawnmower kid meme but trump is redacted
"Why is everyone SO OBSESSED with the Epstein Files," whined the guy who is in the Epstein Files.

lol when a rich, powerful white man begs for higher taxes, you know that vibes are about to shift towards eating the rich:
I guarantee I’ll never give one cent to anyone voting to make my daughter’s life harder.
Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
anyway I’m gonna go cry for a bit
every post is like i bet you didn’t know this absolutely wonderful thing about rob reiner and each one is different
It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.
Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
Can you imagine if the Times and Post and CNN reacted to every time DHS explicitly endorsed neo-Nazism with the same kind of screaming headlines that they did every time Biden stumbled over a world leader’s name?
In another era, the political media would be shoveling dirt onto Trump's political grave as a hopeless lame duck and shifting their focus to the 2028 Presidential race. But in this era they'll keep rooting for the Reichstag Fire or other event to keep pretending he's popular
I’ll give you a personalized book recommendation if you promise you won’t procure the book from a billionaire…
As I always do with boycotts, I urge: be tough with corporations, gentle with individual buyers. For some people, Black Friday sales are the way they get their kids jackets that fit, shoes that hold up to the weather. Yelling at them doesn’t help the cause.
Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.
There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
