This came out before his disastrous UN speech. Trump may find ways to distract, fool, and cancel us, but there will always be someone somewhere who is able to speak the truth. We must listen and act accordingly.

Paul Krugman: “To put it bluntly, is the Jimmy Kimmel affair the harbinger of a failed Trumpian putsch?” We can hope. One victory does not a rebellion make. Funding sources behind MAGA need to be called into question. If CBS can’t afford Colbert, can they afford to lose millions of viewers?

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America. The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

Robert Reich: “The bottom line: We have extraordinary power. We’re the vast majority. Like every other big corporation, Disney relies on us.” “Even if we can’t count on our elected politicians to protect our First Amendment rights, we can rely on ourselves.”

Michael Eisner, former Disney CEO "Where has all the leadership gone? If not for university presidents, law firm managing partners, and corporate chief executives standing up against bullies, who then will step up for the first amendment?"

BREAKING: ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel Live! off the air indefinitely following comments he made in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder. Trump’s FCC chair, Brendan Carr, earlier appeared on MAGA propagandist Benny Johnson’s show and threatened to revoke ABC and Disney’s broadcast licenses.

this is quite genuinely insane, and I want to believe the backlash to this will be severe

Xp Lee wins 34B special election filling Melissa Hortman’s seat. The MN House is once again tied.

RIP, Robert Redford. I need to rewatch All The President’s Men. Not only for his brilliant portrayal of Bob Woodward, but as a reminder that The Washington Post once had integrity. 😢

Remember when Trump said Kamala Harris would start World War III? Remember when Trump said Kamala Harris would crash the economy? Remember when Trump said Kamala Harris would make the cost-of-living go up? Remember when …

“It’s a five-alarm fire,” one Kentucky soybean farmer said, describing the harmful effects of the president’s tariffs.

“There is no legal justification for this military strike,” said one @amnesty.org campaigner. “The US must be held accountable.”

BREAKING: Governor JB Pritzker just perfectly explained why we cannot count on Donald Trump to cool off our political climate. We can and must push back in order to save our country.

Over the weekend, Republican Steve Schmidt, who ran John McCain's 2008 campaign for president, was interviewed on MSNBC. “Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And, I don't say that hyperbolically.”

Stephen Colbert's Emmy victory speech: "Sometimes you only truly know how much you love something when you get a sense that you might be losing it. I have never loved my country more desperately. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor!"

Want to stop the violence? Cut the head off the snake. The Brazilian Supreme Court found former president #JairBolsonaro, a close ally of Donald #Trump, guilty of plotting a coup, attempting to overturn the country’s 2022 election, and committing violent acts against state institutions.

So, what is the Kirk shooting distracting us from, besides the Epstein files? How about this: Last night, Polish forces shot down 19 Russian drones that invaded Poland’s airspace during a massive Russian air attack on Ukraine. German chancellor called it a Russian breach of Polish airspace.

For nearly a decade, Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay has been home to what the state parks describes as a “budding population” of coyotes. Late last month park workers got a fascinating glimpse at the animal’s journey to the island. apple.news/AEfphxAyIQF2...

There is never a suggestion, of course, that the rich, who have functionally stolen people’s wages and engorged themselves by denying them healthcare, are in any way to blame, writes @liztheoharis.kairoscenter.org: www.commondreams.org/opinion/bibl...

At least 19 Russian drones crossed into Polish air space last night. This was not an accidental breach or a mistake.

The governors of California, Washington and Oregon announced they will form a West Coast Health Alliance to begin coordinating public health guidelines separate from the CDC. https://cnn.it/41BLxzZ

Return to a #Depression era quality of life in America. In an interview with the Financial Times published yesterday, billionaire Ray Dalio, the founder of hedge fund Bridgewater Associates, warned that the U.S. today looks a lot like “what happened around the world in the 1930–1940 period.”

From little steps comes lasting change. Today was filled with a number of notably brave responses to early stage tyranny. More to come. September may be remembered as the month the tide began to turn against Trump and his sycophantic minions.

Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
