Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives. He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

variety.com/2025/tv/news... If Disney makes Kimmel apologize, I’ll move forward with my subscription cancellation.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

@nytimes.com, if you cave to Donald Trump any more than you already have as a result of this lawsuit, we’re done. I’ll cancel my subscription, and so will countless other people.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

It’s a little difficult to hear the right condemn political violence when their president posted this, what, a week ago? Like yes, I agree, political violence should not be tolerated, but can you also tell that to your own guy?

Political violence from any party or any ideology is a direct assault on the foundations of democracy and the rule of law; it seeks not to persuade but to intimidate, not to debate but to destroy.

This thread pretty much sums it up.

She’s got a point.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah. Political violence has no place in our country.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Being a #neurodivergent woman is like being a normie in the White Tower: Everyone intuitively understands everybody else even when spoken words have hidden meanings, but you’re terrible at noticing social subtleties so you feel like everyone is speaking a different language entirely. 1/🧵

Pritzker: "No one in the administration -- the president or anybody under him -- has called anyone in my administration or me. It's clear that in secret they're are planning this invasion with US troops."

Hey @nytimes.com, why are you surrendering your journalistic integrity by advertising for #PraegerU?

This is not a joke. Do not obey in advance.

Tim Walz: "I always get in trouble for it and I'll continue to say it, I don't think we do any favors when we don't name it -- these are fascist policies."

Petition to have #PedroPascal portray #Zelenskyy in Zelenskyy’s hypothetical biopic?

What the actual fuck? #votethemout

#Booksky, you ever pick up a book with high expectations, but it turns out not only to have underperformed those expectations, but has underperformed them with such mediocrity that it isn’t even amusing? That’s how I feel about Love In Focus, and it makes me want to cry.

First they came for the socialists… Go to a protest tomorrow. abc7.com/post/army-ve...

Jamie Lee Curtis on The Late Show cancellation. “They’re trying to silence us. That won’t work…we’ll just get louder”

So wait, Stephen Colbert gets the boot for rightly criticizing Paramount’s settlement with Trump, but Fox keeps Greg Gutfeld, who is actively encouraging his viewers to “reclaim” the term “Nazi”?

Folks, I met this guy today and he is the real deal. I’m donating monthly to his campaign because he understands us everyday Americans in a way our current representative doesn’t. #mckinneyforcongress #Michigan #MI13

More tragedy from the Trump admin’s racist immigration policies

Walmart is not your friend.

Still think I’m overreacting?

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either. This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

It’s not just about immigrants - it’s about dangerously expanding executive power.

Take note.

I don’t want to hear a single peep from anybody who voted for Trump about Obama’s drones or Biden’s Afghanistan. Not when they e elected this fucking moron and he’s just pulled us back into the Middle East.

So much for an anti-war president.

Good job, everybody!

This was an assassination. Melissa Hortman and her husband were assassinated.

There are at least 1k people in the suburb where I’m (peacefully) protesting. #nokings

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Let’s stop pretending we’re living through anything resembling normal. Let’s bury the lie that the Rep. Party is a political movement. It’s not. It’s a radicalized cult of personality wrapped in the American flag & soaked in gasoline, waiting for the next match. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Thank you, Harvard. Nothing is more valuable than the integrity you have shown.

Can someone please explain to me why Dana Bash and @jaketapper.bsky.social had fucking Markwayne Mullin (a senator from Oklahoma) on their program to discuss what’s going on in LA, CALIFORNIA? Has #CNN really fallen this far?

🚨Hot off the presses: the CBO Score for the 2025 GOP tax scam to be heard in Rules tonight. Key takeaway—the wealthiest Americans will get more $$$, while those with the least will lose almost 4% of their income.

“WE’RE GONNA RUN OUT OF CHOCOLATE!!”* (*& most other food as well) The climate crisis is a “you & your family won’t have enough food” crisis, yet the media is reluctant to frame it this way, that’s when they mention it at all.

Friendly reminder that the issuance of an executive order does not render the subject of that order legal. Same deal with DOJ memos.

I can’t even believe this is where we are.
