To your left, was the second - and last - thing I saw on social media.
I literally put my phone down, put on my earbuds and went for a 5.3 mile run. Upon my return I went about my day only looking at my phone to either text my NYT puzzle results to my friend group or to text 710.
I never opened my laptop until I had to type out this piece of shit post.
So, free speech isn't free. Criticize some college drop out, extremist podcaster and you're jailed.
On what charges, exactly? I'm sure they'll make them up as they go along - you know, to send a message.
710, on our evening walk, had to tell me that Jimmy Kimmel was suspended (?), fired (?) or something for mentioning Kirk the previous evening on his show.
I'm about 91% sure any joke on most late night shows - or award shows - get the once over from the studio legal team or the censor board. So, ABC would have had to know what coming and they did nothing.........until someone complained.
Huh. I wonder who THAT could have been? I'm sure Colbert knows.
So, we are being systematically sanctioned and censored for things we say. Next up: on what we think.
Pam "I'm a Stupid Cunt" Bondi - who heads the DOJ basically! - doesn't understand the 1st Amendment. Nor does she understand the SCOTUS ruling of businesses being able to turn away business with views in which they don't believe.
Ehhhh......it's just 'law'. It doesn't matter.
Yeah - I know somewhat some of you secretly have been thinking I'm over analyzing, overthinking things and being an alarmist. Are we still thinking that?
We never truly had much freedom in this country regardless of what most think, but it is less and less....and it is happening daily.
We. Are. So. Fucked.
Period.
(oh yeah - I'm still in 'a mood'. shocking!)

My sole comfort to this hopelessly prolonged and squalid time is that when HE passes (so unaccountably overdue, we know!) the Repugs are pretty sure to break into civil war amongst themselves, being unable to find anyone amongst their ranks to pull off effectively the constant bullying that's made BLOTUS so hideously powerful. There's, to my mind, no one in sight above the horizon who'd be able to come anywhere near the formidable state of adulation and obedience BLOTUS has 'enjoyed', present VEEP included!. I'm hoping like mad that when that time comes, as it must, that the Dems, despite all their weaknesses and disappointments, can yet achieve such power that, amongst other things, they can somehow reverse the effects of that now implanted of that Big Wretchedly Ugly Bill (as well as all those present and intended gerrymanderings) before they are due to come into effect towards the end of 2026. Impossible? Maybe, but one can only hope! What else is there?
Meanwhile. he's still over here on this (never before seen) second day of his state visit, lapping up the flatteries and grovelling of both our King and our Prime Minister (though keeping him shielded from seeing any protests - that would be 'impolite'!) making some/most(?) of us thoroughly ashamed to be in the position where we are - though no doubt making him wish all Americans were so 'friendly'. Ugh!!!
