Alex Jones spent the last 30 years being like "MARTIAL LAW IS COMIN BECAUSE THE DEEP STATE JADE HELM ILLUMINATIIII" and now it's here and his place could not be more in favor of it.

The far right lost the plot and the vote.

I really would love to know who told him ending every post with “thank you for your attention to this matter!” would make him look like LESS of a little bitch. Anyway, stupid Hitler is a fucking lunatic.

That’s not the lesson I took away from January 6.

Each time a protest is violently shut down, a university is defunded for political reasons, or a person is deported without a fair hearing, the foundation of our democracy cracks just a little bit more. We must all raise our voice in opposition before the damage is irreparable.

🤣🤣🤣

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

Besides its flights to the International Space Station and Starship program, SpaceX is deeply embedded in the Department of Defense. The feud between Elon Musk and President Trump could end all that.

Fact-check: true

All Praise to the Glorious Leader on the Auspicious Anniversary of His Blessed Birth!!!!!

But why defund schools? To curate failure — to say that public schools are broken and public school teachers are inept all in a push to privatize public schools. To dumb down the populace. To demonize a system that educates over 90% of kids in this state… open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Time to file a class action lawsuit. These assholes aren’t looking for fraud. They’re building a surveillance state.

“They are building a techno-authoritarian surveillance state. We can see that happening in real time. This is huge amounts of data on every single person in America that can and will be used in opaque & unaccountable ways—and it is terrifying.” Must watch interview with @carolecadwalla.bsky.social.

This is how Trump is going to give Enrique Tarrio and company a big payday, to thank them for helping to lead his attempted overthrow of the U.S. government. He'll tell the DOJ to settle, and they'll get lots of money to use to help overthrow the government again.

Wonderful, wonderful news. (Gift link). One down. 277 to go.

Since Musk outed the fact that the Epstein FBI files were not released because Trump is, of course, in them, I was recommended to share this book and podcast. Michael Wolff's Fire and Fury – The Podcast EPISODE 22: JEFFREY EPSTEIN AND DONALD TRUMP podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

OH MY GOD IT'S HAPPENING

Happy Musk vs Trump day for all those celebrating.

This is great 🤣

I’m not sure if you can overdose on schadenfreude but we’re about to find out

Fewer educated people in Texas will help.

"More people voting means more Republicans losing elections, therefore we should have the right to stop people from voting."

Reminder that Trump, who does not care about antisemitism, just announced, bc of that antisemitic attack, by an Egyptian, a travel ban of 12 countries none of which are Egypt.

Posting there is a problem because it validates Musk’s right-wing platform, but just being there is a problem too. You can’t marinate all day in a right-wing fever swamp and come away unaffected. You’re letting a fringe group warp your sense of “what normal people think.”

I'm Eileen Laubacher. A retired Rear Admiral and the Democrat running against Lauren Boebert. I know what sacrifice means and service looks like. Boebert doesn’t have a clue. Can you help me get to 5k followers to show her we can do this?!

They invoke NYT to try and garner support from MAGA, but the truth is that people across the ideological spectrum from far right to far left think this is BS.

A bill banning Diversity, Equity and Inclusion work in Texas' K-12 schools is on its way to the governor's desk.

Rebecca González runs one of ICE's local domestic intelligence offices. She told NPR how her agents are tracking down immigrants in Puerto Rico to deliver on President Trump's mass deportation promise.

this is why local news in so many of its forms is so important. people in media who serve a community, not a national audience, who can build up decades of credibility. it's not just that he's speaking up but that there's a possibility people might listen. this is what's lost when you gut local news

He really is Temu Barack Obama

Remember when Joe Biden was so senile he let a tweaking apartheid elf go through all your IRS, Social Security, labor & healthcare data for 125 days?

My fav lil nugget about this Nazi shitmonger is that legacy media has to contort his face for profile photos so he doesn't look *quite as much* like a rotten armadillo roadkill anus mated with Severus Snape's rapey younger brother

A legislative effort to scrap the STAAR test to respond to concerns that the test puts unnecessary pressure on students died in the last days of the legislative session.
