Oh good, a local news poll on a human rights issue

Former counselor to RFK Jr’s predecessor:

Join us THIS MONDAY at 9:15am for a flyering action to demand that ABC/Disney executives Dana Walden and Debra OConnell reinstate Jimmy Kimmel Live! We’ll meet outside the WGAE office and head to the ABC offices up the street from there. RSVP: wgaea.st/Kimmel-Flyering

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Fevers are dangerous early in pregnancy and Tylenol is the only fever reducer pregnant people are supposed to take. In this freak’s mind, having a baby with congenital anomalies incompatible with life is *less bad* than having a child with autism

Today is perhaps a good day to remind people that Jimmy Carter personally and publicly pled with Obama to recognize to the State of Palestine before his second term ended and Obama just ignored him lol

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.

No other political widow has ever become a public figure I say, having researched this by thinking really hard for twenty seconds and drawing a blank

same. every time I see more coverage of this thing I’m like “Jesus Christ”

They don’t seem very sad that he died

Why yes I am DM-ing this post to every Comstock head I know

Garnet is a genius

First the Eric Adams advisor handing a reporter cash in a bag of Herr’s Sour Cream & Onion now this

I’d never seen this one.

Seems fitting that if you merged the faces of Tom Homan and Emil Bove you’d get something that looks awfully like Luca Brasi.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

they’re calling it the biggest self-fucking in history, folks

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

H-1B visas now cost two Homans. (I also think @marisakabas.bsky.social could help here)

I would like Never Trump Republicans to demand that George W. Bush appear and speak up for democracy in this country. Why do ppl always ask Obama to do things and “where is Kamala”? Where is the 43rd President of the United States while democracy crashes & burns. This is the party he led. 1/

Hakeem Jeffries voted for Charlie Kirk Day but still isn’t sure if he’ll endorse Zohran Mamdani. This is why the approval rating of the Democratic Party is lower than Trump’s or the GOP.

WGA WRITERS protest abc & disney : “Writers against fascism — this isn’t just about Kimmel, it’s about our ability to say what we want and not be punished by the state… a chilling effect… you don’t capitulate to bullies…” (from @moreperfectunion.bsky.social )

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

An idiotic claim like this should make people question everything else Ezra says

We don’t need anti-abortion Democrats, Ezra and Neera, we need Dems who give a crap about how expensive everything is and will fight to fix things for working people rather than kowtow to their donors

“You will no longer be thinking about abortion” aged like milk. HHS is actively considering restricting the most common method of abortion (mifepristone)

One year ago today. Women are even worse off now

Shut the fuck up challenge

Counterpoint not taking the attacks against our bodily autonomy seriously enough for five decades got us the fascism.

An idiotic claim like this should make people question everything else Ezra says

Shut the fuck up challenge

“Several board members have expressed their concerns internally over the optics of holding a free speech event at the home of the man who yanked Kimmel off the air” Via THR

Barf Bag: The party of free speech, everyone! www.jezebel.com/trump-says-l...

At least two out-of-state abortion pill providers @themap-crhc.bsky.social and @hersafeharbor.bsky.social tell me they are undeterred in the face of a new Texas law that allows citizens to sue them and others. "We refuse to comply with cruelty disguised as law." www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

HEY YOU IN/NEAR NYC Feeling mad about censorship? Furious about fascism? Fired up to protect freedom? TODAY 9/19 AT NOON JOIN the WGA East protest outside ABC’s offices 7 Hudson Square (310 Hudson Street) @wgaeast.bsky.social @wgawest.bsky.social

I can’t make it, please go and raise hell for me

Calling all Guild members, labor allies and anyone who believes in a free country — Join us outside the entrance to ABC's offices at 7 Hudson Square (310 Hudson Street, Manhattan) TOMORROW at 12 PM ET to demand that ABC bring back Jimmy Kimmel Live! RSVP: wgaea.st/kimmel-rally

“Debate Me” culture is not organic, endemic, or apolitical. This mode of high jacking discourse is and has been central to a 30-year conservative training program that has produced untold numbers of people to do this for every reason but “civil discourse”

Always such a pleasure to speak with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social even when the subject matter is dark!

California lawmakers passed a bill that could blunt impact of the Texas abortion pill bounty hunter law: AB 260 would remove prescriber and patient names from Rx labels. Majority of telehealth services use CA pharmacies Gavin Newsom still needs to sign. TX law doesn't take effect until December 4

Watching prominent commenters followed by dozens of people I know say "it's over" because Jimmy Kimmel got suspended...like, they actually killed Medgar Evers, in defense of a fascist system that had been in place for decades. Imagine social media that day! Read history and have some self-respect.

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.
