Medical ethicist Arthur Kaplan, quoted in the NYT: “The announcement on autism was the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recyling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies & dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority in the world claiming to know anything about science”

Each year, nearly 5,000 children are diagnosed with brain tumors, which are the leading cause of pediatric cancer-related death. In August, the Trump administration announced it would stop supporting a federally funded network dedicated to researching these deadly cancers.

Early voting is OPEN, and Virginia, we can’t miss this opportunity. Virginia is the ONLY Governor’s race that can be flipped blue this year. We must turn out for @abigailspanberger.com, @senatorhashmi.bsky.social, @jonesjay.bsky.social, and Democrats in the House of Delegates and State Senate.

This is amazing.

Earlier this year, ProPublica found that the sepsis rate in second-trimester pregnancy loss hospitalizations increased by more than 50% under Texas’ abortion ban. Here’s how we did our analysis. (Published Feb. 2025)

FACT: When the 1st Trump administration cut the budget for ACA Open Enrollment information by 90%, Jimmy Kimmel used his platform to make sure that everyone on the marketplace in America knew that you needed to sign up or change your marketplace plan. That speaks for itself. Miss you, Jimmy Kimmel.🙏

Giving a bully your lunch money is only a temporary downpayment for future bullying. We ALL need to step up for the first amendment. By-the-way, for the record, this ex-Disney employee finds Jimmy Kimmel very talented and funny. mh

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

something something political violence

Michael Eisner - thank you for standing up for freedom of speech and @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 #DV1 #Pinks

I will as well.

Andor would want you to cancel your Disney+ subscription. It's the least you can do for the Rebellion.

This evening I went to a memorial service for my friend and my co-author of my book, Standing My Ground. Ron Harris was a great man and fantastic investigative journalist who was passionate about his work. Im thankful to him for helping me create and share with the world we created.

When Fox can't ignore it, you know it's bad.

Oops www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Mississippi has suspended data collection for Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (Prams), a national database that has been integral to policymaking on maternal and infant health for nearly four decades www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well this is an unexpected plot development at Disney and a welcome one. www.thedailybeast.com//ex-disney-c...

History doesn’t repeat. It is REPLICATED. Very intentionally.

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension wasn’t “cancel culture.” It was government coercion. Brendan Carr told Benny Johnson, “we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” and affiliates panicked. Regulatory threats can’t be the answer to speech we don’t like. If we let this stand, no voice is safe.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

When authoritarianism is on the rise, you can count on the richest, least vulnerable men on the planet to be the biggest cowards.

Ha, ha, This didn't age well.

Michael Eisner, who served as CEO of Disney for 21 years and acquired ABC while he was in charge, slams his successor Bob Iger for bending the knee.

@mlauriat.bsky.social WHO is? Governor Newsome Governor Pritzker Governor Walz Representative Crockett Representative Swalwell Senator Booker Senator Chris Murphy Senator Rand Paul And others

And again, why are these agents kitted out like they are going into Mogadishu?

Hey Virginia! Early voting for the 2025 general election has started. Find your polling location here: www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

I am biased but I don’t think there is a better website on the internet today than TheOnion.com.

The Walt Disney Company deserves this and more. So much more. Fire fascist Bob Iger NOW #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

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?

All of the unions in Hollywood should immediately boycott Disney/ABC. They only care about money, so go after that.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Oh look.

From performative Mr. Free Speech to tiresome unctuous toady

They know what they’re doing.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Listen carefully to what Jimmy Kimmel said...
