Let's be under no illusions here: ABC/Disney blinking on Jimmy Kimmel was about money, not principles. They were losing money and stood to lose more by not reinstating him. But it is a statement that our side still has the power of the consumer purse and should use it to threaten others.

Fuck ICE — and fuck Stephen Miller. Anyone have a problem with that? 🤨

Let’s face it, the reason they’re allowing Trump to speak at the United Nations like a poorly-schooled child with severe emotional distress is because JD Vance is already in the final stages of preparation for his takeover. — They’re letting Trump’s self-destruction run wild.

Can someone please explain to the guy speaking at the United Nations that he did not end 7 wars and everyone knows he is a liar. Oh, he does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. And please, ask him about the EPSTEIN files.

This is delusional but you don’t have to read the whole thing. Boils down to: he’s shutting down the government because he thinks he’s a king.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed the nation’s first bill banning officers from wearing masks. Now let’s work to bring this change nationwide, reach out to your governors and help unmask ICE!

Thinking something is “really illegal, personally” doesn’t make it actually illegal.

This is the BEST news that I have heard all week! Good Riddance #ABC #Disney #Hulu YOU Democracy destroyers and COWARDS!

A+ content from The Onion as usual

I can live without Disney. I can live without CBS. I can live without NBC. America cannot live without the Freedom Of Speech

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

These people are jellyfish

Free speech? Really? It cost Jimmy Kimmel his job.

It’s cool that RFK Jr and his cherry-picked team of science deniers are going to try to prevent Americans from accessing a medicine that can prevent nearly all cases of chronic hepatitis and 50% of liver cancers this week. So healthy, right?

Republicans’ Big Ugly Law has manufactured a health care crisis by stripping Medicaid and ACA coverage from more than 15 million Americans. House Democrats are fighting to ensure that everyone can access high-quality health care when they need it.

Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions

Shit. At this rate, I’m just going to have to stop watching tv altogether. Maybe it’s time to get outside more

This past weekend, I took a hiatus from all social media. I had been having some overload from all of the insanity surrounding the CK malarkey. It was really having a mental health impact. I highly recommend. It was freeing. I’m considering doing this more regularly.

2022 — a confession:

It's not just the authoritarianism — it's how shameless, how *gleeful* this administration is about it

The FCC Just Crossed a Line: Kimmel, Trump

The problem is that the country is being dominated by people the people who never read these, or just failed to understand them

I read 1984. And Fahrenheit 451. And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale. And The Giver. And The Road. And The Lottery. And The Parable of the Sower. And The Hunger Games. I know what I’m seeing.

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

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

Every single year, I give a speech to my class about how I (the teacher) am the villain of this classroom, and they need to not snitch on each other because they’re all on the same side. And once they see themselves on the same side, they behave much better. Class(room) solidarity works.

It is depressing being an American now.

The Regime understands that Colbert and Kimmel have a FAR BIGGER following & reach WORLD WIDE than them. They are SCARED. They are WEAK. They are UNPOPULAR. That’s ONLY gonna grow.

This explains it all…

I never really watched Kimmel. More of a Colbert fan. But, my stomach still turns over what was done to him. What he said wasn’t even disparaging to Kirk. It was mocking Trump. When you can’t even poke fun at the leader of the country, we no longer live in a free democracy

KAINE: Were you instructed by the secretary of HHS to not speak to senators? MONAREZ: I was instructed to not speak directly to senators KAINE: So Senate-confirmed CDC director instructed not to speak to senators

I think most people are viewing this as just silly, ignorant, nonsense. It is those things, but it's more insidious than that. They will use this designation to arbitrarily arrest and deport citizens who speak up and protest by labeling them “Antifa” and therefore terrorists.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Second deadly US strike on a boat in the Caribbean. As with the first -nonthreatening target in an area the US military operates freely -no legal authority, nor attempt to cite statute -no evidence presented -no individuals identified -no articulated strategic goal, nor explanation how to achieve it

Release the Epstein files!!!

many finding out now what has been true for a long time, which is that 99% of right-wing politics is just making up a fake guy to be mad at

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying children for sex. I feel like more people should mention that.
