It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

This is Sinclair Broadcasting.

I know this 4 months old, but bears reposting and reminding. We're dealing with a pro-death, Eugenics movement. I say that without hyperbole. Just trust the evidence of your eyes and ears. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Why does it take a BRITISH newspaper to break a story like this? Where the hell is the American media? 🤨

Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄

Rep. Jim Himes: "Having the Defense Department kill alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is illegal...These folks are committing murder — murder defined as killing without a legal basis. I am mystified over why the rest of the chain of command is quite comfortable with it."

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

This is incredible. h/t: @jessedamiani.bsky.social

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

@timmiller.bsky.social: “Too many people are folding to the fear…I think that the right posture towards this administration's aspiring authoritarianism is to stand up to it.”

“Government officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors." National Rifle Association v. Vullo, the Supreme Court

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

If Fox loses their license suddenly, don't be shocked.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

Rep. Jason Crow: "What is more American than the ability to stand up and question authority?"

Carney: We are both undertaking massive transformations of our economies. Plan Mexico, Canada strong. Our efforts will be strengthened by working together. As President Sheinbaum said at the G7 summit — and I quote — “In an interdependent world, no country can isolate itself.”

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Previous generations fought fascism in nearly every corner of the earth. Today it’s on our streets, silencing opposition and attempting to control the airwaves. The GOP has declared all out war on free speech. It’s up to us to fight for it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

I am actually sad to have to say this since I have admired much about Disney CEO Bob Iger over the years, but what a profoundly quisling move this is by someone who knows better. It’s shameful and he has tarnished his once proud reputation.

PSA: A "Major Terrorist Organization" (MTO) is not a thing. The Immigration and Nationality Act *delegates* power to the State Department to designate *FOREIGN* terrorist organizations (FTOs) based on certain criteria. It doesn't apply to domestic orgs. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

I'm not a business owner, but if my sales are down and I'm making more than what I'm selling, then surely that means operating expenses are higher because your inventory goes up, which means more up-front spending, lower income less profit. Yet stock is up 🤔 finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-s...

GOOD NEWS: The Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-led State Elections Board exceeded its authority in passing a handful of controversial anti-voting rules last year. Paige Moskowitz and I explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=16wS...

Gavin Newsom’s bullseye: “I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress, and fear. But I want you to know that you are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, to be complicit in this moment. Do not give into him.”

NYC WENT OFF: If Trump’s DHS won’t stop terrorizing immigrants, the streets will. NYC is making that clear today—by taking over the damn streets. Solidarity with LA. Solidarity with every undocumented fighter who never gave up. The people aren’t asking. We’re taking.

This Saturday, a grown man with a perseverated prepubescent pathological personality – who professes to be against waste, fraud, and abuse – will throw himself a birthday parade costing American tax payers $45,000,000.

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

ABC is dead to me.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

Why do these so-called people of "god leaders" need to try and control the will and desires of others. Open your doors and say what you want to those that want to follow you, but stay out of our lives. apnews.com/article/sout...

Look at all those violent invaders. So scary.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

This is real. He deleted it

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

The house is so empty now. 😔 we lost our last Westie, Heidi 13 days ago. She was 16 years old and had been with us since the start of her little life. She joined her littermate sister Hazel, whom we lost in 2022. 🐾 💔

How did the nation of that put a man on the moon become the only one in the world to ignore science so completely that it withdrew from the Paris Climate Treaty, then dismantle it’s clean energy future? By putting an anti-science cult in charge. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/c...
