Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.

We know, WE KNOW

I hate the idea of a shutdown because that means my Federal employee husband won’t get paid. I hate the playing of politics with people’s lives in the balance. That said, I don’t know of any other way the Dems can reasonably respond. They have to shut it down. Sigh.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

It hurts my heart that we have racists like Laura Loomer effectively running the White House.

Ummm… 🤔🫤😵‍💫

Someone who is an advocate for free speech doesn’t create a registry of people whose speech they disagree with in order to oust them from their jobs. Ask professors on that list if he was an advocate of free speech.

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

Or perhaps that’s indicative that the person isn’t good. Duh.

THE HYPOCRISY IS THE POINT!!

The idea that if you make Dems a little more Republican, Republicans will vote Dem is what’s breaking us. And it doesn’t even work!

another instance where “fuck you, make me” is the optimal reply

I am so glad that @jimmykimmel.com is getting the attention and outrage he deserves, but where was this support for @matthewjdowd.bsky.social last week? His MSNBC colleagues said nothing everyone is standing up for Jimmy Kimmel and Dowd’s colleagues said nothing. So can we lift him up too?

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.

Oh. Kash Patel told Fox News that the text message evidence had been destroyed but the FBI was able to recover them from “steps taken at the apartment.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

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

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

HARDEST PHOTO OF 2025 JUST DROPPED

AP-NORC poll | 9/11-9/15 President Trump approval Disapprove 60% (+7) Approve 39% (-6) (shift since last poll) apnorc.org/projects/pes...

🚨🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Tampa has tossed out Donald Trump’s $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times, writing: “The complaint is decidedly improper and impermissible.” Trump is a loser.

“I asked you to fabricate evidence against a prominent Black woman who tried to hold me accountable. You failed. You’re fired.”

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

I spoke against legislation that would give the Secretary of State the power to revoke passports from U.S. citizens for exercising their First Amendment rights. That’s not keeping us safe—that’s punishing dissent.

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

Today at work I got a call from the school district attorney. The district received an email saying that my posts (on FB) were vile and inappropriate and that I was despicable—that the district should fire me. Luckily, I live in IL & my school district still believes in the 1st Amendment. /1

Hate speech is now just speech that Trump hates.

Moskowitz: "We just heard there were no riots on the right. We're literally sitting in a building where there was a giant riot by supporters of POTUS. We also heard only leftists have said Trump is a Nazi. In 2016, the current VP said 'Trump is either a cynical asshole or he's America's Hitler'"

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments. that fox news host still has his job.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

I’m sorry, “Didn’t participate in a moment of silence”? What in the authoritarian state is happening.

> @brianstelter.bsky.social

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

SCULLY: Do you know there’s a wiki page that said, “Obama tan suit scandal”? OBAMA: You know what? I’m rocking that suit… And the weird thing was that there were all these pictures of Ronald Reagan in a tan suit and George Bush in a tan suit. I thought I looked better than them in it

The failure of mainstream media to do their job und actively undermine the First Amendment to appease the Mad King and his court will be taught in the history classes... and history will not be kind for them. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

This is fascism. We're in it, folks.

i’m 70% “this is the bad place” and 30% “you chucklefucks are such goddamn crybabies that you can’t handle jokes from JIMMY KIMMEL?”

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

/2 However, I think ABC firing Kimmel following Carr’s threats makes a plausible case for a First Amendment violation. It should survive a motion to dismiss at least.

I think the answer is that the government directly threatening ABC to force a firing would be a First Amendment violation but ABC being cowardly assholes complying in advance in their moronic quest to satisfy Trump is not.

Censorship because Kimmel spoke the truth.

Reminder that the GOP nominee to run all of North Carolina public schools in 2024 repeatedly called for executing publicly Obama and many other Democrats and the NCGOP not only didn’t condemn her, but defended her.

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

I keep thinking that the reaction to criticism of Charlie Kirk is a test run for what will happen after Trump dies. They know he is despised. They know people will celebrate his death. What happens when people do celebrate Trump’s death? I think we have an idea of Vance’s response.

I know I’m naive but it is pretty wild that the president of the United States just publicly declares he and the military killed some guys on a boat, multiple times, and the entirety of Congress doesn’t immediately hit a giant red IMPEACH button
