Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

So cool they discovered the cause of autism on basically day they guessed they would. I’m also glad they are withholding this information for a few days to prep for a WrestleMania-style announcement. This is how science works.

⚡️ZOHRAN PULLS OUT OF ABC TOWN HALL IN SUPPORT OF KIMMEL: “The message it sends Americans is the first amendment is no longer a right that can be counted on… we cannot normalize these kinds of acts nor offenses.” www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

So the recording show Tom Homan rejecting the money? Wow, I bet they're going to rush to show that to all of us and we're all going to look *pretty* stupid for believing the FBI statement that he took the money as soon as they show that to us, which -- again -- I am certain will happen *very* soon.

No immigrant has ever sacked me, or cut my wages, or offshored my job, or closed my hospital, or stopped my mum's disability benefits, or crashed the economy. Those things were all done by white English men who went to Oxford and wore a nice suit.

EXCLU: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will announce today he is cancelling a televised town hall with WABC News planned for Sept. 25 in the wake of the network suspending comedian Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show last week. www.amny.com/news/mamdani...

Best idea ever, Btuckertime! * The Iron Snowflake

The Taliban must be shaking with fear that Trump is going to give them two weeks before he will be "very unhappy" and then give them two weeks before he will be "very disappointed" and then give them two weeks and then…

Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

One fun thing about reading history is that, with the exception of very modern times, any time a general or warlord decides on a night attack, it's very nearly always a complete debacle. But there's always another military leader just around the corner who thinks they can be the one to succeed.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up? TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

"Well, maybe I'll just use Instagram for..." No. Get off Instagram, get off Threads, stop using any Meta product, do not start using a new Meta product. There is no flavor of toxic waste that is good to eat.

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Progressives should just embrace popular ideas is exactly the kind of thinking that convinced many progressives to support the Iraq War. And many of the same people who are advocating “popularism” today did, in fact, support the Iraq War

Dude is killing people in the Caribbean and we couldn't increase the minimum wage in a reconciliation bill because the parliamentarian said no. Seething .

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

Paging Dr. Tapper. Dr. Jake Tapper.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Liberals now feeling what it has been like to support Palestine in the US. Every word twisted. Loss of job for a simple opinion. Taken off air for a monologue. Lists to target you. Employers harassed. It feels endless, coming from all directions. It only gets worse from here

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.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

More people have been arrested for this Epstein protest than for the Epstein child sex ring.

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Q: Do you think it would've been fitting to lower the flags to half staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota House Speaker, was gunned down by an assassin? TRUMP: I'm not familiar. The who?

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirk’s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

I spoke with the NYT Magazine a while ago but have now heard that an editor said they can't quote me because I'm "too liberal" to be a trusted source. You know what's always the first example conservatives use to claim I'm "too liberal"? My work in the 1619 Project, organized by the NYT Magazine.

Radley, if you don’t know, was a canary in the coal mine at WaPo Opinions, writing deeply reported pieces about police violence, which were utterly ignored by Opinions editors, who seemed hellbent on them NOT being seen during the peak of national interest. Then laid off for vague traffic reasons.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder... Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed. Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Suppose you tried to solve math problems by rolling dice to get the answer Sometimes, the dice will give the correct answer. Other times, not. If you were to insist that the wrong answers were the *dice* malfunctioning, people would rightly mock the shit out of you.

Seems like a day doesn't go by that the Washington Post doesn't send me an offer to resubscribe while simultaneously reminding me why I cancelled.

Both sides are NOT the same.

Started playing Borderlands 4 today and it doesn’t really feel very Borderlands-y so far. The mechanics are good, but it feels a little bland right now.

We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".

what we’ve seen from the right is the most insane case of cancel culture i’ve ever witnessed. the left has never even done close to a fraction of a fraction of what they want to do now

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived

This you? Just two hours later?

Let me get this straight: Pulte‘s family committed mortgage fraud but Cook didn’t? And his family only got caught because Pulte falsely accused Cook? The writers have outdone themselves this season.

That msnbc guy got fired for saying these words

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

sally said civility with a hard r

You trolled the entire userbase with your lazy comment and got the response you desired. And then you preen like a peacock with your self-generated sense of superiority. You are someone capable of making persuasive arguments yet you choose the laziest trolling instead. Your actions are transparent.

It won’t look like neighbors running to report you to the Gestapo. It’ll look like HR emails warning staff to “be careful what you post online.” Modern censorship wears a suit and comes with a corporate logo.
