Hey @bsky.app & @support.bsky.team fuck this bullshit

Add another one to the ever-growing list of corporate suck-ups and capitulaters. Also, if that stupid ballroom does get built, I'm voting for the first candidate who promises to demolish it.

Justices rule in favour of administration, handing Trump another victory in dispute over presidential power www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... | Apparently interpreting the Constitution extends to completely ignoring what is written in it.

No Democrat should vote to keep the government open unless ACA funding is restored for the millions of Americans at risk of losing health coverage next year. Remember that this funding is on the chopping block because Trump and Republicans want to give the richest Americans a giant tax cut.

If you got a misleading mailer urging you not to vote to retain the three Democratic Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices, these are the bastards spreading lies. Team red is trying to pack the court.

Trump will not be satisfied until every media outlet becomes more conservative—and obedient to him. slate.com/technology/2...

There’s no hiding the political retaliation and weaponization. It’s all out in the open.

In Oklahoma they are this close to appealing to the Vatican to give sainthood to a dead podcaster. oksenate.gov/press-releas...

The "journalists" who comply with this are the ones whose reporting can not be trusted.

Let's take a look at how one European late night show is reacting to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension... youtube.com/watch?v=7vRX...

To the so-called Christian right, I have only this to say: Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

I really wish people would remember that the primary voter you insult today has the general election vote you'll need tomorrow. Sure, you may have a preferred candidate, but punching down at a fellow voter for not sharing your enthusiasm does not make for a convincing argument.

Trump is on a mission to end all free speech that he doesn't agree with, including the comedy of late night talk show hosts. Heeeeere's authoritarianism! #Trump #FreeSpeech #Kimmel #Colbert #CancelCulture #MAGA #NoKings #Authoritarianism #satire

Seems some unscrupulous label has spammed the Spotify Release Radar personalized playlist with old song releases on quickly thrown together compilation albums. Allegedly this can only be achieved by reuploading an existing track with a new ISRC code - very sneaky - burying legitimate new releases.

A message from Disney to their employees youtube.com/watch?v=HMGD... | Colbert is going to be so cancelled for this...oh, wait...

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

Pay attention y’all. Sinclair is really trouble.

First Colbert, now Kimmel. Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval. Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

Take heed from European history: this could be the pretext for the repression of the US president’s political opponents www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

MAGA has now shifted into a full cancel culture movement. ABC announced it is pulling Jimmy Kimmel’s show indefinitely after backlash over his comments on the motives of the man who shot Charlie Kirk.

Anyway, now we know what the FCC thinks is in the public interest: Fox host advocating for executing homeless people? Yes ABC comic suggesting Trumpers are using a death cynically? No

It’s been clear for months that this administration is ten times the threat to the First Amendment that “wokeism” ever was. If this doesn’t wake the fuck up all the comedy podcast bros, nothing will.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved
