Trump is truly a deranged individual. There should be no funding of his ability to continue to destroy the government.

A fake emergency. A fictional war-ravaged Portland. A pretend organization called Antifa. A lying White House occupant who’s not a real president.

This is fucking horrifying.

Why offer a report on future threats when you don't care about the future?

Sinclair has backed down, will air Jimmy Kimmel's show. Too much money lost from ads sales I'm sure, and lots of complaints from viewers. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

for years when academics warned about the problems with letting media consolidate at the hands of one of two companies people yawned, now every day there's another vivid example of why they were right

If I have missed any public statements by Trump officials (RFK Jr made one, and I believe came to the officers memorial) please correct me. What seems fair to say, even if such statements exist, is the administration did not see the CDC attack as an event they wanted to invest political capital in.

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

How it's going / How it started

One thing we've learned in the last 12 hours: The Sinclair-Nexstar ban on Kimmel, in terms of his reach, means nothing in an era when late-night shows have an afterlife or simultaneous life on streaming. Kimmel's average audience is 1.6M. On YouTube, last night's monologue is already at 8.4M views.

It is an increasingly crummy and unstable job. Rather than worry about pay you should be concerned about the fact that faculty and students have less and less of a voice in their selection, turning college presidents into political appointees

As a child of the Reagan years, the fact that the *Republican Party* is expropriating shares in companies and shaking companies down while saying stuff like this is wild

Reconstruction bros have long understood that in the American context, "socialism" most often means "integration and equality" bsky.app/profile/bren...

Yeah I remember the bad old days, like when someone at the liberal New York Times tried to get a professor fired for joking about bedbugs.

Trump is firing his own nominee, because he will not go along with the President's conversion of the DOJ into a lawfare retribution machine. Imagine what happens when the DOJ is only made up of people willing to engage in such abuses of the law. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-poi...

"As every lawyer knows (or is presumed to know), a complaint is not a public forum for vituperation and invective--not a protected platform to rage against an adversary. A complaint is not a megaphone for public relations." I believe the legal term for this is: Burn.

Day 2 and I have not missed Hulu. This kind of thing has to be somewhat of a jolt to these companies. So many people have a sub to so many things they don't use much and just forget about. But then something happens, and boom, easy to drop it.

Must take good news where you can get it these days:

The tent has to be big enough to hold Jay Jacobs' feelings, not big enough to include the voters of New York City

He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors

Googling “which president negotiated crappy exit agreement with Taliban”

scramble you little shits, scramble

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

This is a clear statement from his depraved mind. Free speech that’s highly negative toward him must be condemned as illegal.

TIME TO IMPEACH FOR EXTREME FASCISM According to a new report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is planning on labeling all trans people “violent extremists.” newrepublic.com/post/200688/...

jimmy kimmel officially diagnosed with blueskyism, is no one safe

The basic claim here was that BlueSky engaged with the idea that the shooter was a Groyper, which is true, but only because Groypers speculated as much and Fuentes released a defensive video, all on other platforms. But sure, blame BlueSky. Lots of ppl on different platforms were speculating!

Of all the unpleasant people in right-wing media, the perpetually snarling Laura Ingraham is one of the worst. Her brother claims she was damaged by an alcoholic father who collected Nazi memorabilia. During the AIDS crisis, she liked to out gay students at Dartmouth in the school newspaper.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

Today in "Who is Ezra Klein willing to sell out?"

TIME TO TAX THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

The “free speech Republicans” are the ones doing the censoring

I had Hulu Live, getting all local channels, broadcast and all cable channels--I'd cut the chord. That was the bulk of it, 81 bucks. But I realize I was mostly listening to news channels on SiriusXM.

Think of all the free time you’ll get back once you no longer have to spend an hour every night watching comedians criticize the regime!

Part of our constitutional crisis is that Republicans are stopping Congress from playing its fundamental oversight role.

Robert Redford was a good actor, an excellent director (an Oscar for his brilliant debut Ordinary People), a meaningful storyteller and a fine man who cared about the health of our planet. RIP.

CORRECTION: Kirk was murdered while practicing the very act that gave us Birth of a Nation. bsky.app/profile/thef...

Pivoted so hard they affected the earth's rotation

MAGA blamed immigrants, trans people, the left, and Democrats for Charlie Kirk’s murder. Crickets when they found out Tyler Robinson is a lily-white Mormon from a gun-loving Republican family. Funny how that works, huh?!

Looks like the shooter followed Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer, both of whom heavily criticized Charlie Kirk. But sure, Tyler Robinson was radicalized by "engineering".

Robinson was enrolled in an electrical apprenticeship through Dixie Technical College, and attended Utah State University for a single semester in 2021. MAGA partisans are only using Charlie Kirk's death to continue their attack on higher education. newrepublic.com/post/200427/...

Huge difference between the rest of us and the MAGA cult: we condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk, regardless of the shooter. However, just look at the whiplash within MAGA as soon as they found out the suspect is Tyler Robinson.
