a huge loss 💔

Ah ok so now, according to the party of DOGE, the healthy functioning of the federal government is, in fact, super important for the well-being of Americans? I like this turn of events

Hey @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social,I asked Steve Bannon directly if he thinks Miller will now unleash the state on groups that describe ICE as "authoritarian," and he said: "Yes," adding that Miller is "in charge." cc @mcopelov.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2009...

The two middle aged joggers on the side street are TERRIFYING.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I’m in Boston. This ad just came on TV

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

firmly believe it wasn't what kimmel said about kirk's killer that made dollhands so mad. it was showing this clip and adding: "He's at the 4th stage of grief, construction ... This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish."

Sinclair Broadcasting, which is cracking down on Kimmel, controls local stations that reach 40% of US households but instead of giving us local news they give us right-wing culture wars Read what Kimmel actually said Then pledge to boycott at tinyurl.com/dontfeedthefox

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

i’m 70% “this is the bad place” and 30% “you chucklefucks are such goddamn crybabies that you can’t handle jokes from JIMMY KIMMEL?”

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

BREAKING: ABC has announced it is pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show off the air “indefinitely” to censor the host after comments he made Monday night about the "MAGA gang" doing everything to claim Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was "anything other than one of them." Here is the clip:

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The VP is on the TV yelling about defunding this fine and storied magazine. I have no idea which article he objected to but rn seems like the right time to subscribe if you haven't already and just read all of 'em @thenation.com subscriptions.thenation.com/TNA/?f=Site0...

Thank you @postguild.bsky.social ❤️

i'll be presenting an AFFIRMATIVE case for migration as a life-saving adaptation--NOT a crisis that requires police-state tactics--today at @towsonu.bsky.social (DHS is hoping to recruit TU students into their anti-migrant efforts later this month) events.towson.edu/event/the-ne...

How lovely NYC is in September! and what a blast to hang out with the excellent @johnvaillant.bsky.social, author of some of my most beloved books AND ALSO a fellow Obie!

No, it isn’t. This is probably the most offensive page in his birthday book, among many contenders.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip. And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

The other thing about the RFK Jr hearing is just the entitlement, how dare you question me, the smugness...

@govwesmoore.bsky.social please bring this to Maryland!

@wesmoore.bsky.social Maryland needs to get on this! www.nbcboston.com/news/local/n...

Q: What is your message to President Trump? EPSTEIN SURVIVOR: I don't want to send a direct message to him. I'm already scared enough.

so it’s tyranny then?

The right-wing owners of the Baltimore Sun—and Sinclair broadcasting—think that the desirability of a military occupation of Baltimore is an actual open question LOL

Just in case you’re wondering if that amazing @scotnational.bsky.social newspaper front page on Felon Trump’s visit is real, here’s the answer.

WHOA. This is massive. Judge Xinis relies on her earlier order requiring ICE to "restore the status quo ante" for Mr. Abrego Garcia prior to his wrongful arrest and removal as justification to bar ICE from immediately re-detaining him should be released on bail. DOJ is certain to appeal.
