BREAKING: Barack Obama breaks his silence on Trump's attempt to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House and mocks him for being unable to "take som criticism." This is what a real President sounds like... “You do not have, as far as I can tell, any substantial group of Republicans who are standing up and saying, ‘No, you can’t do that, because we don’t want, if there’s a Democratic president, to be banning Fox News,’ or whatever other outlets that are going off on Democratic Presidents,” Obama said at an event in Massachusetts. Last Friday, Trump barred CNN, Politico, and MS NOW outlets from the White House for supposedly spreading "fake news," which in practice just means honest, unflattering coverage of his disastrous administration. They have since filed a lawsuit to overturn the ban. “You can’t do that and say that you are still living in a democracy,” Obama said, adding that “the President of the United States can’t take some criticism.” “This should not be a partisan issue. I want to underscore this. This should be something that rises above partisanship,” Obama added. Of course, in a perfect world both parties would be equally committed to defending the Constitution. But we don't live a perfect world. We live in a world where the Republican Party has mutated into a full-blown cult that prioritizes Trump's desires over the law, morality, and basic human decency. Right-wing politicians aren't condemning Trump's attacks on free speech because they're terrified of upsetting his base. “The free press, the idea that the government cannot discriminate against, or pick on, or bully, or exclude somebody because they don’t like the criticism that’s being leveled at them, that is a foundational issue,” said Obama. “And so, I am not surprised that the current president wants to ban newscasts that are critical of him, because he’s that guy," he added. “This one’s actually in the Constitution. It’s pretty straightforward, right? Free speech, there’s a reason why it’s the First Amendment,” he continued. “The issue is not the fact that (the ban) ultimately will be overturned. The issue is the brazenness with which any president could act like this, and the people in his or her own party not say, ‘No, you cannot do that. That’s not acceptable.’ That lack of guardrails is what I’m most concerned about," Obama added. Please ❤️ and share if you fully agree with Obama!

BREAKING: MONEY, MEET MOUTH! Macklemore announces that he's donating the $1 million he made from the Ed Sheeran tour to Palestinian support organizations. And it gets even better... "With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom," Macklemore wrote on Instagram. "I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation," he continued. Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots and a man whose name appears in the Epstein files, is the ultra-Zionist who banded together with other venue owners to get Macklemore dropped from the Sheeran tour after he voiced support for Palestine on stage. The blatant assault on free speech has since led to Sheeran's entire supporting lineup dropping from the tour, from his house band to his opening acts. Spoiler: Kraft will not be matching Macklemore's donation. Anyone willing to go to such extreme lengths to silence reasonable, tame criticisms of Israel amidst an ongoing genocide is someone who doesn't see Palestinians as real people. Kraft would sooner donate bombs to the IDF than food to starving children in Gaza. "Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth," wrote Macklemore. "That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland," he went on. "I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine." "Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it." "But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will continue to stand with the Palestinian people and their fight for liberation." "When the news cycle moves on, which it will, don't move with it." "Free Palestine," he concluded. Contrast Macklemore's donation with Sheeran's craven attempt to "both sides" this issue and appeal to neutrality while innocent children are being slaughtered en masse. Sheeran chose money over morality. Macklemore chose to stand on the right side of history. Please ❤️ and share if you stand with Macklemore!

BREAKING: Journalist and college professor Stacey Patton goes viral by penning a stunningly powerful statement about how she was on Charlie Kirk’s “digital hit list” and recounting the horror that he inflicted on her. We cannot allow this tragic assassination to whitewash Kirk’s legacy… “I am on Charlie Kirk’s hit list,” Patton wrote to her 215,000 followers on Facebook. “His so-called ‘Professor Watchlist,’ run under the umbrella of Turning Point USA, is nothing more than a digital hit list for academics who dare to speak truth to power. I landed there in 2024 after writing commentary that inflamed the MAGA faithful. And once my name went up, the harassment machine roared to life.” “For weeks my inbox and voicemail were deluged. Mostly white men spat venom through the phone: ‘bitch,’ ‘c*nt,’ ‘n****r.’ They threatened all manner of violence,” she continued. “They overwhelmed the university’s PR lines and the president’s office with calls demanding that I be fired,” Patton wrote. “The flood was so relentless that the head of campus security reached out to offer me an escort, because they feared one of these keyboard soldiers might step out of his basement and come do me harm.” “And I am not unique,” she added. “Kirk’s Watchlist has terrorized legions of professors across this country. Women, Black faculty, queer scholars, basically anyone who challenged white supremacy, gun culture, or Christian nationalism suddenly found themselves targets of coordinated abuse,” Patton wrote. “Some received death threats. Some had their jobs threatened. Some left academia entirely. Kirk sent the loud message to us: speak the truth and we will unleash the mob!” she continued. “That is the culture of violence Charlie Kirk built. He normalized violence. He curated it, monetized it, and sicced it on anyone who dared to puncture his movement’s lies,” she wrote. “And now, in the wake of his shooting, there’s all this national outpouring of mourning, moments of silence, yellow prayer hands, and tributes painting him as a civil debater,” Patton continued. “But the truth is that Kirk and his foot soldiers spent years terrorizing educators, trying to silence us with harassment and fear!” “And now the same violence he unleashed on others has come full circle.” “But what i find especially jarring is the dissonance in public mourning for a smug white man whose life work was actively hostile to certain groups,” she continued. “Kirk spent years demonizing LGBTQ people, mocking gun survivors, spewing racism about Black folks, and pushing policies that literally shorten lives.” “It is so revolting to watch a bipartisan wave of grief sweep over this hateful racist as if he was a neutral community servant,” she concluded. This is pure unvarnished truth from Patton. Charlie Kirk did not deserve what happened to him, but nor did his victims deserve the hell that he unleashed on them. If Americans are going to build a more peaceful future for ourselves we must condemn political violence while also condemning the hateful, bigoted rhetoric that made Kirk a multimillionaire.
