It’s extremely important to remember and talk widely about the republican capture of US media - this is exactly the point
They scream and scream for weeks about nothing, then bury the real news. It could be the path to fixing america
We need pirate radio
We need pirate radio
Eh, what? In the old days, the means of mass communication were limited or expensive, so sure stuff like pirate radio made sense.
But nowadays, anybody can start an Internet radio station for very little money. Or a YouTube channel or whatever. The problem is people not listening, not that they are prohibited or prevented from listening to you.
We need pirate radio
You don’t even need to be licensed for Citizen’s Band. Get started today!
We need pirate radio
This is how we got in this mess to begin with. Talk radio, then podcasts.
Well I guess at least some pirate radio would be saying "Did you know it's illegal to say that we should kill the president"

Can't be worse than every station being owned by Sinclair and ClearChannel anyway
Republicans are how we got in this mess. We need to leverage similar channels if they’ve proven to be effective
It's ultimately a both sides issue. The Republicans did this shit and the Democrats did fuck all to stop it.
I keep hearing people be shocked about that line as if he's serious and I seriously question most people's reading comprehension. Can they SERIOUSLY not recognize 7 year old level mockery when they see it?
The real news story is ANNOUNCING INTENT TO COMMIT WHAT IS UNQUESTIONABLY WAR CRIMES.
People know it's mocking, it doesn't matter. If parties were reversed, they'd be literally lynching Obama
Dude ate mustard and people lost their minds.
Actually that's not fair, they lost their minds because he was black. But still.
Don't forget the unforgivable offence that was his Tan suit
I would've been totally in favor of that criticism if it had simply been about fashion.
This 7yr old is smart enough to know exactly what the media will run with and how to manipulate discourse online
Our presidents have been committing war crimes for decades. Unfortunately, it isn't news.
Yeah no but if Obama said it in the same ironic manner MAGAts would freak out
Fuck that what would have happened if Biden had talked about another mans dick for 15 minutes or just started dancing, but trump gets a pass. I still don't know how that wasn't bigger news.
This is what fascism is, when the followers (Fox) want to give dear leader their power.
And the rest of you fight among yourselves while the fascists run away with it
Someone again made bank on polymarket. I think he’s doing it on purpose.
At this point, it isn't even an "I think" anymore. It's just blatant.
I kinda think Stephen Miller is making him do it, because Trump seems to be in a worsening mental state and is suggestible
God I forgot that site existed
Or whoever is using that account. There's always a non-zero chance that Trump isn't the only one who has access to it, especially if that site has trash opsec.
Not trying to rag on you specifically OP but I’m sick of these “whAT iF A DemOCRAt Did ThIS?” posts. As if pointing out the hypocrisy is helping at all. Fascists and personality cults do not care about hypocrisy.
10 years into this I don’t know who these posts are for anymore.
Yeah. This is George Takei. He is admittedly old, but has been through more than most. Once you are pushing 90, though, it's probably hard to do serious adaptation to political landscapes.
I disagree. It's clearly not for them; as we continue to get pummeled by aggrigious behavior by world leaders it habituates us the be progressively less shocked by the next insult to democracy and human rights. Checking ourselves and putting these individual acts of hate, racism, xenophobia, and fascism in perspective is the one thing we can do to try to push the bar back to where it belongs.
When the rules do not apply to you, you have to keep on publicly demonstrating this or else you lose it.
Or raped children.
In a tan suit eating irregular mustard .. the world would explode
The funniest thing about the tan suit is that there’s dozens of pictures of Reagan, Carter and other presidents wearing tan suits through the years
He made the mistake of being black
Classic mistake in America smh my head
The what if the roles were reversed test always exposes how selective outrage can be.
And, you know, the F-bomb.
If Obama did it would you say it was respectful or to be an asshole?
That's the difference here.
Praise his noodliness.
