One thing that has been an eye-opener about all of this is how much cowardice there is in the U.S… It’s easy to talk a big game about free speech and freedom of the press, but when push comes to shove, most buckle.
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”
- Benjamin Franklin
And this is why you never give these people what they want.
Imagine the shitshow if the FCC pulled ABC’s broadcasting license for hurting the administrations feelings. They should have played hard ball.
The government can’t stop ABC from broadcasting… Especially if laws have no meaning…why would they care?
Now that’s what I call Facism

He’s gonna do to TV what he has done to manufacturing. What a guy.
We can’t pull licenses for death threats to homeless people, that provoked the murder of them, but we can for this? I don’t know what the disconnect here is for people to not be terrified of this administration and the direction it is going, that they aren’t becoming active in opposition. Oppose the politics, the businesses, the media, the communities and the people who support this. There will be no safe spaces from the violence of the state and it’s allies. They must be disempowered before it gets to that point.
That’s means voting in every election you are eligible to across all levels of government and for politicians who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it. That means taking actions that confirm the integrity of the democratic system and taking actions to make it known and work to make sure it is.
That means spending money only at businesses who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this are actively opposing it.
That means disengaging from media sources that provide content that supports this fascism, gives voice to those that do and that does not openly and actively impose it. They have crossed so many lines already that it should not even need to be said that it is already too far.
That means only engaging in communities that are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.
That means only maintaining relationships with people who are clearly and absolutely opposed to this and are actively opposing it.
Doing this looks different for everyone and only individuals can figure out the details of moving their life towards resisting the fascist takeover of the American civilization, it is not just the government, it is the entire civilization.
If I asked what you are doing in your daily life to better oppose this shit, and you have no answer, then you failing yourself, your country and the future generations that will have to suffer under the boot of dictatorship. You are not alone in this, there are allies all around you, but we all need to start walking the direction we know we need to go to find each other on the path.
The best time to start was yesterday, the second best time is today.
We are fucking terrified. Please tell us what you’re doing since apparently you’re the only one who knows what to do
Thought people were being hyperbolic about trump packing the supreme court. This guy has wasted no time completely destroying any shred of legitimacy the supreme court has ever had. I kind of see this as a positive. Now people see that trusting the supreme court with interpreting the constitution is extremely dumb. If one president can pack the court with fascists what’s the point in even having this system? Obviously our constitution was never meant to be beneath the supreme court. This is an extremely clear violation of the right to free speech and of a free press. Our 1st amendment, not even our 2nd one.
So long, freedom of speech.
This is what happens when fascism goes unchecked. Fuck dumpy.
Oh boy I hope this is what makes groceries, gas, and housing cheaper. So much winning everywhere!
Trump floats
prove it
Fat is less dense then water so he should float pretty well.
But his cankles will make him float upside down.
“We all float down here” - Donald Trump
Or maybe that was Pennywise, I get those clowns mixed up sometimes.
Frankly, hardly any of them deserve broadcast rights anymore. They sold out decades ago and it will never be enough. We need ferocious, independent, professional journalists, not billionaire minions.
Threatens seems like a more appropriate word than floats.
