"Disney’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel after lobbying from FCC commissioner Brendan Carr is the latest in a string of moves by corporate media companies that have infuriated the left-of-center Americans who have often been their audiences." www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

Excited to share the news that the PAPERBACK of The Freaks Came Out To Write is coming out on November 4th. I love this color: Pre-order! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/trici...

Kimmel getting his show back is not just about a late night tv program. It reveals Trump’s weakness. Trump wants everyone to think that submitting to his will is the only option – but that is a lie. Defiance is not only available, it is the strategic choice. indivisible.org/statements/i...

One by one, corporate media are caving to Donald Trump. But our non-profit, reader-supported newsroom won't be intimidated. Through Sept. 30, donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar. That means twice the impact to help power fearless reporting. Please consider supporting. Thank you so much!

As long as this is still happening the fundraising is happening.

Why did THE ASPEN INSTITUTE just remove "...Free, just and equitable society" from their mission statement? The left is their previous mission statement. The right is what they have now. This is shameful and pathetic caving to Trump and MAGA. Shameful.

Crisis of our dumb as a bag of dicks elites. I will not forget that they caved and then course corrected once their stock price dropped 7%. Does Iger understand that this makes him look morally bankrupt AND like a dumb business guy?

If we stop posting about autism there will be no autism.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

When a "self-driving" car crashes, that's information the public needs to have. Everyone driving, cycling, or walking on streets where these vehicles operate has a legitimate interest. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall

trump is underwater on tariffs by 20 points (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data?open=...) that means he's negative in 40 states (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-is-u...) this is a good opportunity for democrats to show how they fight for working-class voters (www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...)

Good afternoon! This week's theme is Printmakers of London ------ 'London Snow' (from 'Cambridge Book of Poetry for Children', 1932) by Gwen Raverat

CNN: “4 US citizens, a father and his 3 children, were among 5 people killed Sunday by an Israeli air strike on southern Lebanon…” www.cnn.com/2025/09/21/m...

Conducting tasks while receiving e-mails and phone calls reduces a worker’s IQ by about ten points relative to working in uninterrupted quiet. That is equivalent to losing a night’s sleep, and twice as debilitating as using marijuana.

Also got feedback today from the first and only other human besides me that had read my novel in its entirety and the feedback was positive. #amwriting

Starting this tonight and I’m excited

⚡️The campaign in support of the 14th USF Regiment has reached 46% of its €66,014 objective. €2,500 and we will reach the 50% milestone ❗️Further information at: help99.co/patches/special-kherson-cat-14th-nafo-campaign Support those who strike Russians deep in the rear and where they least expect it

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Regimes think twice before escalating repression if they know it only ends up growing the opposition. We need your help to make No Kings Day as big, powerful and effective as possible. Please pitch in if you can to support safety and security training, event promotion, and marches in anchor cities.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts. Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

Ukrainian sanctions working. Even pro-Russian channels are stunned by the fuel crisis in Sevastopol. Some stations briefly have A-95, but A-92 is marked as zero across the board. Fuel coupons for Crimea are now being sold on Russian marketplaces.

Ok, you chose not to charge him. Any public servants in this situation would lose his/her security clearance, at a minimum.

A BBC investigation exposed a Russian-backed operation spreading disinformation ahead of Moldova’s 28 September election. Recruits were paid to post fakes, distort polling, and film opponents. The network is linked to Kremlin-aligned, sanctioned oligarch Ilan Shor. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Fuel keeps getting harder to find in Russia — another gas station went up in flames, this time in occupied Kadiivka, Luhansk region.

One big reason Tesla keeps winning: Elon has never had to play by the same rules. So accountability is up to us. #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall thenevadaindependent.com/article/regu...

Mainstream media “is in long-term decline, and therefore weakest at precisely the moment it is most needed to serve as a bulwark for free expression and democracy. Perhaps that’s why the Trump administration picked it as his latest primary target.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/o...

Bonkers Would never have guessed that 1 in 4 tourists to Dominican Republic are Russian. Gross.

1/ Maybe it’s already been done in some form, but I’d love to see an infographic or article about the percent of Shitler’s public statements that are lies, or that were later contradicted, or policy positions that he later reneged on or took the exact opposite course.

"So far as I am individually concerned, & independent of my pocket, it is my earnest desire to write those sort of books which are said to ‘fail’—pardon this egotism.” Herman Melville

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

Wait a minute. Isn’t $15k an extraordinary sum to drop on a Disney vacation even for a family of 4?

Hey #Greensky: if you don't already subscribe to Volts.wtf pod, get yourself over there & subscribe now. @volts.wtf is the pt. of overlap in the Venn diagram of #climate policy wonks, activists, energy, tech & business: he helps set the conversation across all of them. 🧵 below of some highlights.

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

Interception of Russian cruise missiles by Ukrainian F-16 pilots during today's Russian mass attack. It is noted that the absolute majority of downed Russian cruise missiles today are the result of the work of F-16 crews.

I'm part of a high income family with children aged 6 and 4, the ideal cohort to drop $15,000 on a Disney visit. I have never watched Jimmy Kimmel, but I'm on his team no matter what and I'll drop my cash elsewhere.

In the last 3,5 years, many Ukrainians have embraced volunteering as their calling. Here are some of the examples of how civilians in Ukraine support the military and each other during the war🧵

Just a reminder that Richard Hanania is not a centrist and has not changed his white supremacist views. The data most definitely doesn't show crime rates are about race unless you ignore every other causative variable (urban/rural, poverty, population density, etc.).

“I will wear the hat proudly! The unit patch is outstanding." Paul Loughman, our donor from the US, won a patch for his $1,000 donation via the UNITED24 App. He extends his thanks to the Magyar Birds brigade for the special gift🧵👇

In occupied Luhansk region, Ukrainian pilots struck a Russian oil facility. The hit buried enemy personnel, ammunition, and equipment under concrete and debris.

🔴 Estonia’s Defense Forces released the flight path of Russian MiG-31 jets that crossed into its airspace on September 19. The fighters entered near Väinloo Island without clearance, stayed 12 minutes, had no flight plans, and flew with transponders switched off.

OK I subscribe to Wired and a bunch of other things and right now will subscribe to Verge and 404. And will add a plea for ProPublica.

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...
