“Suck it Sinclair”, a collaboration including Seattle Indivisible, led by @DefundMusk, is calling out Sinclair, Nexstar and KOMO to stop complicity with the administration’s silencing of Kimmel and free speech. 1/3 Www.suckitsinclair.com #suckitsinclair #localnews #seattle @defundmusk.bsky.social

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

A 1st Amendment four-alarm fire: The United States is trying to deport a longtime Atlanta journalist who was arrested while reporting at a No Kings protest. @pressfreedom.bsky.social says ICE is detaining & targeting him for deportation "in direct retaliation" for his reporting on immigration.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

EDWIN FUCKING DIAZ

Last week, Disney/ABC caved to Trump administration pressure. Millions of Americans helped them find their backbone. Whether you watch Jimmy Kimmel or not, today's decision is a victory for free speech. We've reached out to WABC to reschedule the town hall.

Breaking News: In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies. nyti.ms/46OqOvD

"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.

Dutch late night TV has its take

What Trump said is a fucking outrage. It’s against democracy. If Donald Trump has his way on this, our democracy is over.

The Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into ABC, Sinclair, and the FCC. We will not be intimidated and we will defend the First Amendment.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Van Hollen: "Those who cave in -- those like ABC who cave in -- what they do is give the bully an even bigger appetite. When they appease they bully, they put all of us at risk."

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

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple. It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Sen. Murphy introduces the No Political Enemies Act: "Trump is making it 100% clear that he is going to ramp up his efforts to use the power of the federal government to punish his critics... This is legislation that makes sure that the law is on the side of free speech and the right to dissent."

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

New statement from the House Dem leadership on Kimmel: “Brendan Carr, the so-called Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has engaged in the corrupt abuse of power. ... This will not be forgotten.”

Trump and his cronies are using blatant government coercion to suppress speech they don’t like — a gross violation of the 1st Amendment. Shame on ABC for caving to political blackmail. We must stand with those who resist the bullies and call out those who appease them. NO KINGS.

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

This is a massive, history making abuse of your power. It will define your legacy and one day you will come to regret punishing free speech and trying to destroy democracy.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city. This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

last night as i was trying to wind down for bed i had a unified theory of what the fuck just happened, and i wrote it down, and filed it under "well, i can't talk about this on main without sounding insane until and unless the perp gets caught and is provably a groyper" anyways, great news! (1/X)

Age verification? My first computer didn’t have a hard drive. Just a shoebox full of floppy discs.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

Two in fact

That’s how you do it. “F you, make me”

He nearly killed Chris Christie by giving him Covid!!

Words/phrases Democrats should never use: * bipartisan * my Republican friends * real, valid, legitimate, serious, important (to describe issue raised by Republicans) * yea (when voting on Republican bills) * distraction (to describe bad thing Republicans did) * woke (in derogatory sense)

“All hail the truck farmer! Worship the truck farmer in the church of your choice!”

What in the everloving heck

@mikemadrid.bsky.social What do you think? Is this the argument to make? (And will it work?)

US Park Police now doing traffic stops in DC, and charged at me with a baton for filming closer than they liked

It’s the difference between “I’m afraid my voters are bigots and I can’t risk offending them” and “I think my voters are generally okay with the modern world and just wish it was easier to live in”

This 82-year-old grandfather was living a quiet life. Granted political asylum from Pinochet in 1987, he was disappeared by ICE when he went to replaced a lost green card. This is what is happening in America right now. We all need to wake the f up.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.
