No more wishy washy about what is right or wrong

The Nazis want a level playing field so that the propaganda they spew makes what they are doing seem normal Mainstream media(MSM) has been playing this game that the Nazis are just doing “normal political discourse” for several years now And the Nazis in Congress are playing the same game By their silence they underscore that what is happening is just business as usual The Nazis want us to believe “Hey there are two sides of a controversy and both sides deserve equal time” in the land of free speech But they don’t deserve equal time

Remember the comment “there were fine people on both sides”?

What’s currently being done is NOT business as usual It’s NOT normal behavior in a democratic republic and to redefine these authoritarian activities and policies as just the way we do things these days allows the Nazis to get away with the propaganda they are pushing

What the Nazis are doing and saying is WRONG Period End of story

There are no two sides to this discussion The nonsense to give the Nazis a level playing field is ridiculous and obscene The Nazis do not deserve any respect or audience Scott Jennings, CNN’s provocateur in chief is a classic example of how Nazis attempt to distort the facts when engaging in political discourse He takes on fantastical positions when it cannot be justified and then claims he is just arguing the other side Free speech of course but call it out for what he is DEAD WRONG It’s not time to level the playing field and allow Nazis to use free speech as justification for confusion CNN needs to be more forceful in calling Nazis out for their deceit which is one of the reasons CNN is in the tank with respect to ratings

So America call the Nazis out for who they are Corrupt Lawless Liars Gangsters And then get out there and PROTEST!!

Good morning from the SF Bay Area. There are thousands of us in the Bay Area doing daily and weekly acts of opposition. There is no going back to assuming our democracy is safe. It is not. It is under violent attack by a malicious movement hellbent on looting and decimating our government and way of life-no freedom of speech, no freedom for women's and minority's (soon to be majority) rights, destroy SS and all medical aid, privatize everything so the billionaires will own and run the country. This is monstrous lead by a mobster monster. RESIST AND ACT NOW!!!!!

I have been an independent voter(what is often referred to as a swing voter). I look for candidate quality. I vote for candidates who truly believe freedom is for everyone. I want to live in a country where disagreement is respected and challenged in a way that makes the Nation better. I want a country that understands "do unto others. . ." Sadly, I have been let down by people who cosplay at being for ideals to enrich themselves, or worse, have no courage to fight for what they believe is right. However, I still believe that America is worth fighting for. All her flaws make her ideals shine brighter and her people strive for better. We can only lose if we quit. Let's Roll!

I vote for Democrats. I am not a Democrat. I am a U.S. Citizen Voter. I am not "independent" nor Green nor Libertarian nor any other splinter group. I will vote for the candidates who support We, the People, and refuse to roll over for authoritarianism. Those candidates always turn out to be Democrats.

19th April 1775 – The Battles of Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts where the famous shot heard ’round the world’ marked the start of the American War of Independence.

You're right Joe. "After nearly 250 years, the American people are not going to willingly participate in the death by suicide of our great nation. Who will tell the people? Who will lead? You will. We will."

Stay loud, stay informed and stay active!

Thanks, Joe.

I'll consider Sez Us. I've been away from social media for a long time, and was glad when I left. Both sides social media. Twitter/X and HuffPo back when they allowed opinions.

Yes, people need to rise up, peaceably. Doesn't mean the response is going to be peaceable. But peaceable protest has held its own in the past, though with sacrifice. Trump's desire to have demonstrators (not rioters) shot last time around and his belief that the cops should get away with everything (unless you're a Capitol Police Force member, that is) says where we're going. When people are forced to go to soup kitchens for a meal, Trump will raid the kitchen saying it's a nest of conspirators. I kid you not.

I'm still working on a decision. I understand your need for numbers to sustain a program.

A few years back, there was a liberal social media site (forgot the name) funded by one person. It lasted about a year. It had the premise of good conversation and a disdain for flagrant attacks against others. It was a good place. Whether it was an echo chamber or not is debatable.

I do find it difficult at times to avoid getting snarky or just flat out not wanting to deal with certain others. But I have the integrity to be unhappy with myself when I act in an improper manner, and that integrity is part of what guides what I do or don't say.

You failed to mention the pivotal role SCOTUS played in the creation of the Trump Monster in the destruction of American democracy and the rule of law.

thanks, Joe, I needed that.

I'm sure this comment was meant for REPUBLICANS: “Too many lack the imagination to understand the enormity of the danger.” Democrats and Independents voted for Kamala Harris. Republicans voted for insanity. What was that saying? Something about people in glass houses throwing stones?

Thank you Joe! Excellent piece and I agree. The time is now and the sounds are becoming louder.

Political Censorship and Free Speech Living in a Police State

Nazis have long been concerned about being silenced and not being able to express their conservative opinions So the diatribes go….being bullied, “thought police” But it’s not that they have been silenced it’s just that their opinions are often so outrageous that they are laughable eg Fox and Friends

So there is a Nazi attack on free speech If the Nazis don’t like what you say then it’s not free speech Complete HYPOCRISY

It’s not about free speech it’s about their protected speech….the Nazi free speech of propaganda

Networks should lose their FCC licenses Judges with differing opinions should be impeached Banning news organizations who don’t go along with the Nazi talking points Going after law firms that don’t favor the regime’s propaganda line Students with green cards who protest with differing opinions should be thrown out of the country because “they are agitators who don’t love our country” Universities should lose federal grant money if they dare speak out against the Nazi regime Take over the Kennedy Center for Continuing Arts to even control the art’s free speech and have only shows that are deemed “appropriate”

But billionaire/oligarchic Nazis protect social media such as X, Meta, and Tik Tok because it’s algorithmic, simply a machine that directs your attention It’s planned Nazi propaganda And it’s not free speech Billionaires are literally rewiring our thinking to solidify their power grab

This is what it looks like living in a dictatorship in the 21st century Fox channel is the only channel available and X will be the social media platform WAKE UP AMERICA To journalists speak truth even if it’s not neutral No one can hide anymore
