I’m not convinced that the shows finances are the full reason. Not in this climate. “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump — a deal that looks like bribery,” Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren said...”

“First, we must face the harsh reality that the freedom many of us feel is slipping away has never been a universal reality for everyone in this nation. From its inception, there have always been folks who were never listed under the category of “all” when we heralded liberty and justice.”

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️Latter Gay Stories on FB: A two-day counter-Pride festival in Boise, Idaho, fell flat on June 20-21, 2025…Supporters have now turned to social media asking for money to cover expenses including security costs—exceeding $18,000, money they expected to raise from the attendees that never showed up 🤣

Ray Bradbury said, ‘You don’t have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.’ That’s where we are. But here’s the good news: WE STILL HAVE THE BOOKS. So read them, share them, and remind these book banners that their fear of ideas isn’t our problem—it’s theirs.

“ #Spitzberg said he crossed the barrier because he saw officers manhandling his fellow #protesting #veterans. ‘I just couldn't stand there behind those barricades while my fellow veterans were being pummeled,’ he said...” #NoKings #Resist

“Healthcare isn’t just a special privilege Trump gets to dole out to veterans who agree with the president — it’s a moral obligation our country owes to every single man and woman who serves in uniform. Anyone who doesn’t understand that has no business leading our armed forces in any way.”

I’m seeing tons posts from veterans and active military that “marching out of step” is a silent protest. ✊🏻 As the military has been used as political pawns recently, I applaud them for this maneuver. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

A #nonviolent sit-in protesting the misuse of #military personnel on US soil results in arrest. This isn’t the country I served. #Veteran #Army #Marines #NationalGuard #Reserves #Navy #AirForce #CoastGuard

Good read for anyone who wants to learn more on why the queer community says No Cops at Pride.

Skirting a question on vaccines, Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Wisconsin Democrat Rep. Mark Pocan during a hearing before a House committee he thinks Americans should not be taking medical advice from him.

The Library of Congress just delivered a masterclass in independence—blocking Trump appointees after he abruptly fired the Librarian. Staff stood firm, called Capitol Police, and refused to cede control. A bold stand for the separation of powers when it matters most. This is the way.

"A qualified black woman was fired and a completely unqualified white man takes her spot... But he does have experience "leading the defense… in which the President was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to an adult film star." #Libraries #Congress

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

I like telling authoritarians where to shove it in multiple languages

Oh, look. The five-time draft dodger has an opinion. Man, gtfo.

Fuck RFK Jr. That's it. That's the post.

Anything less than celebrating the bravery of #TransAthletes is willful ignorance. 🏳️‍⚧️ #ProtectTransKids. #Trans #TransRights #LGBT #Sports #Humanity #Queer

So much garbage to unpack here. But it bears repeating: Ideas.

Why are there so many undiagnosed adults who are only now discovering that they're either autistic, adhd, or neurodivergent in some way? I can explain... \1

“Rachel Maddow looks at ways to understand the scope of the damage Donald Trump has done to the entire world economy, and reminds viewers where the tariff idea came from that has turned Donald Trump into a one-man global disaster.” April 4, 2025

Just as relevant in 2025 as 1972. #IAmSomebody #JesseJackson #SesameStreet #Affirmations #PBS

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

Sign of the day. #Resist #Oligarchy

Fucking FUUUUUCK YEAH

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...
