I'm running out of ways to say that the people engaged in it should be prosecuted and their platforms should be permanently shuttered.

FOX News should not exist. There is no reason for it to be permitted to exist. It's not a first amendment issue.
If what Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Alex Berenson, and others are doing is free speech then me altering road signs into optical illusions that make people drive off of cliffs is free speech.
If what Fox News, Tucker Carlson, Alex Berenson, and others are doing is free speech then me putting Kool-Aide labels on antifreeze containers and leaving them in elementary schools is free speech.
There is nothing about the first amendment that compels us to have to beat attempted mass murder in public debate.

There's nothing about the first amendment that protects attempted mass murder by rhetoric.
FOX News should be seized and its assets distributed into public health. Tucker Carlson should stand trial for crimes against humanity.

Enough already with these malicious snakes.

Bullshit.

I have family members all the way up the Fox News Facebook misinformation hole, and they didn’t get vaccinated because they felt respected; they got vaccinated because their children told them they wouldn’t get to see their grandchildren until they got vaccinated.
3 observations:

People don't tend to change their worldviews from a place of comfort.

When selfish assholes decide to behave like selfish assholes, the problem isn't that others aren't coddling their feelings enough.

Selfish assholes aren't everyone else's job to fix.
Selfish assholes would love for you to *think* they are everybody else's job to fix.

It puts them at the center and in control.

That means when they act like a selfish asshole, it's *your* fault. You should have been more persuasive. Daddy hits you because you made him angry.

Anyone realize that you can “teach a man to fish” AND give a man a fish? Or that it’s harder to learn when you’re starving?

These aren’t mutually exclusive needs. One is immediate, the other structural.

It’s a poor trick to point to one as an excuse not to fulfill the other.
I’ve noticed that those who treat this as either/or often don’t want to attend to the immediate need OR the structural one.

Affordable college? No.
Forgive student debt? No.
Address systemic injustice? No.

They don’t want to teach fishing. They’ll restrict access to the river.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

The saying doesn’t end with “so don’t give hungry men fish.” In fact, it demonstrates how an immediate need draws attention to a structural one.

Republicans really want us to believe Martin Luther King Jr. only ever said one thing, and that one thing is “you can’t criticize white people, because white is a skin color, and acknowledging skin color is the one and only definition of racism.”
Martin Luther King Jr. wasn’t critical race theory, he was critical race praxis, and he was murdered for it, and the Kevin McCarthys of 1968 celebrated joyfully and openly.
White people turning Martin Luther King Jr into their “get out of racism free” card after murdering him is one of the most racist things that’s happened in my life time.

those who are narcissists
treat criticism of themselves
as an attack upon some
great and holy purpose
The masses facing the multitude of existential perils caused by greed and income inequality don't find their hope in the sight of a handful of men with wealth as vast as their egos, pissing away all our resources on a race to construct the world's largest private roller coaster.
Attacking Elon Musk isn't "attacking space." It's recognizing that we can address climate collapse, AND care for everyone's basic needs, AND have a regulated space program that exists to benefit everyone, if only we seized 95% of our wealth back from parasites like Elon Musk.

I mean what the actual nazi fuck are we permitting on the airwaves.
Today’s “supposed to wipe out a certain amount of people” will inevitably lead to tomorrow’s “supposed to wipe out a certain type of people.”
There is no civic, public, moral, or free speech value to what Newsmax is doing, or Fox News, or Trump, or the Republican Party. It’s weaponized language designed for genocide. All should be shut down and prosecuted immediately.

The fact that they can and might be willing to carve out the filibuster from topic to topic merely underscores the exact extent to which centrist Democrats do not want to be permitted to act without Republican approval.
Look, if this is what it takes to pass real voting protections, then I'm glad they'll do it ... but what are they going to do about a Supreme Court that is committed to demolishing voting rights?

Why would they require permission from an anti-democracy party on any matter?
Passing as many bills as possible that not only receive no Republican votes, but were designed to receive no Republican votes, crafted with absolutely no Republican input, written to repudiate every single Republican intention, is the best thing this Democratic Congress can do.
