CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance. Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna. See how this works?

This should terrify all of us. They are just getting warmed up.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

You can never appease a tyrant.

Unions not only defend our freedoms in the workplace, but they have also been on the frontlines responding to this regime's attacks on our democracy. Is it any wonder why Trump and many of the corporations bowing down to him are so staunchly anti-union?

Press warned to back up as DHS police take lawmakers were taken away in zip ties, among them Comptroller Brad Lander and 10 other state reps including Bobby Carol, Marcela Mitayanes, Julia Salazar, Emily Gallagher, Jabari Brisport, Jessica Gonzalez Rojas,... story TK

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment. Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

Kudos to Stephen Colbert on his Emmy win last night. It was a pleasure chatting with him a few weeks ago on The Late Show about how rampant inequality has brought us to this moment in American history — and what we can do to fix our politics.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I will NOT let you change the story.

If you aren’t already familiar with Horst Wessel, this is a good time to learn how people are turned into martyrs by authoritarian regimes for propaganda purposes. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

Trump's policies are hurting everyone except for the richest 1%. "New Golden Age" for whom?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Free speech clearly isn’t FREE for everyone…

The majority of political violence comes from the far right, but we’re supposed to treat it as a “both sides” problem. The majority of mass shooters are white males with extreme right wing ideologies, but we’re supposed to focus our outrage on the trans community and liberal colleges. 1/3

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

When Nancy Mace thought the killer was trans, she wanted them dead. Now that she knows the killer is white, straight, and a Trump supporter, she just wants harmless prayers.

America has had its share of crooks (Warren G. Harding, Richard Nixon), bigots (Andrew Jackson, James Buchanan), and incompetents (Andrew Johnson, George W. Bush). But never before Donald Trump did we have a president who combined all these nefarious qualities.

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

Breaking News: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is said to have shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer.

Claiming that America is a “Christian nation“ while actively creating legislation that directly harms the very people Jesus called us to serve—namely the poor, the sick, the hungry, the immigrant, and the marginalized—is the height of both religious and political hypocrisy.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-69d

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Because it bears repeating. I am an American soldier. I am sworn to protect the constitution and the citizens of the United States. As a member of the US military, I want to let you know this. I am sworn to protect _YOU_ and I know what an illegal order sounds like.

Some leaders just have a way of always saying the right thing. Then there are a few who are mentally ill and incapable of rising to the occasion. Here the Moron-in-Chief whines in his Easter message If you approve of his post, you have a distorted view of what America is and are part of the problem

What Is Stochastic Terrorism? And Why it matters.

We can only hope. Banksy Art .

Books are indeed the key to freedom and knowledge, trump, and you can't stop that.

Trump keeps backing down on tariffs.

Supreme Court will hear the birthright citizenship case.
