Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

Don't let MAGA get away with their grotesque exploitation of Charlie Kirk's death. He did NOT deserve to die, but he was FOR public executions, including of Biden. MAGA is FOR public executions of people they hate. Kirk said to accept a certain number of gun deaths as the price we pay for the 2A.

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. 🇺🇸 🙄

It’s really all we should be talking about today.

Josh Shapiro: "I was on a Spanish language radio program in the Allentown area and the host said something really chilling to me -- that he now has to think about what topics he's going to discuss because he's fearful he might offend federal regulators of the president."

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

this is… not how it works. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

"During the transition, law enforcement officials notified the incoming administration about the case as Mr. Trump’s team considered whom to appoint to to government positions..." And they still gave him the job! Did he keep the $50k? And what was his Cava order? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

Every Goddamned Republican leader who is staying silent rather than stepping up to stop this madness is someone with about as much integrity as a drunk pissing on a bride's wedding dress. As worthless as teats on a boar.

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Freedom of speech used to be a huge part of "The work of American people"  | Mary Ann Curty

And *this* is why "The View" didn't mention Jimmy Kimmel being forced out in violation of the First Amendment, even though it was the biggest news of the day. The hosts' paychecks will always come before informing you.

Russia pounds Ukraine with 580 drones and 40 missiles, leaving dead, dozens injured, and causing widespread damage. www.kyivpost.com/post/60520

Trump and the Broligarchy Are Racing Toward a One-Party Media America In addition to Trump abusing his power to silence all his critics, Kimmel's cancellation reveals the broligarchy's plan to consolidate power and control of our media and turn us into Russia. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

another instance where “fuck you, make me” is the optimal reply

We’re protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility and an agent came out to tell us to go away. We said we’re exercising our First Amendment rights so he shot the ground with pepper balls and said, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension wasn’t “cancel culture.” It was government coercion. Brendan Carr told Benny Johnson, “we can do this the easy way or the hard way,” and affiliates panicked. Regulatory threats can’t be the answer to speech we don’t like. If we let this stand, no voice is safe.

The Big Beautiful Betrayal is creating a health care crisis that will force hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes to close while 15 million people lose coverage. Unless Republicans in Congress renew the health care tax credits, more than 20 million Americans will also see their premiums rise.

I hate to say it but many are likely dead. Murdered. The others likely deported.

1,800 Men Went Into Alligator Alcatraz. Only 600 Came Out? substack.com/@dissentinbl...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

They took away a woman’s right to choose Then they took equity from Black people Medicaid benefits from people of limited means Food from schoolchildren The right of Hispanic people to live without fear of persecution And now they want to take our First Amendment rights WE MUST FIGHT BACK

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

CROCKETT: When I say that you are the least qualified FBI director in the history of the FBI, that is real, because you are the only one that never even served with the FBI PATEL: That's false CROCKETT: I didn't ask you a question

Trump: "Jimmy Kimmel was fired because he had bad ratings more than anything else ... they should've fired him a long time ago. So you can call that free speech or not."

You’re about to see a push on the right to designate a bunch of nonviolent people on the left as ANTIFA because they don’t like their rhetoric. Dangerous times.

Trump says TikTok will now be owned by “companies that love America” (Translation: they’re loyal to him)

CBS, ABC and Disney should get the full treatment Target got. They are anti-FreeSpeech & openly pro-Fascist. Boycott them. Destroy their bottom line. See how long they can survive just MAGA viewership. Time to put your money where your love of the Constitution is. Do. Not. Support. Them.

Charlie Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden. Now the GOP expects Dems to honor him?

The FCC threatening a broadcaster unless they cancel a show over the host's comments is a direct attack on every American's freedom of speech. This isn't about Jimmy Kimmel, it's about our rights. This action is un-American.

2/3 Cancelling a comedian for doing their job sets a dangerous precedent. Comedy has always challenged power and sparked conversation, even when it makes some uncomfortable. So long hulu.com Shame because I was looking forward to #HighPotential season 2. So long 9-1-1, sorry 9-1-1 Nashville"

My note sent on the abc.com website: 1/3 (instructions on 3rd post) "Comedic entertainment, satire, and late-night commentary are essential parts of a free and open society. They should never be silenced simply because some viewers disagree—or worse, because a sitting president demands it.

Trump referencing Orwell is Orwellian AF.

The involvement of the Downing Street press operation in this is genuinely shameful. Someone present should use their question to grill the PM on this, on camera.

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.

So Charlie Kirk can say don't trust black pilots. Charlie Kirk can disparage single, working women. Charlie Kirk can say lives are expendable for the Second Amendment. But once Jimmy Kimmel makes a joke about Charlie Kirk he gets fired. No free speech in America anymore.

Cowards. Shameless, morally bankrupt cowards.

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Wait until they get hauled into court to answer for crimes against humanity #FuckIce share.newsbreak.com/f1l4u1iw?s=i16

He lies like he breathes. Trump is not simply a serial liar, he is attempting to murder the very idea of truth. The president appears committed to destroying the very idea of facts. #DonTheCon

This is what fascism sounds like. Cracking down on anyone who disagrees with them or portrays the Trump regime in an undesirable light. The country is changing before our very eyes. 🇺🇸

This is another major scandal that in any normal country would result in the immediate impeachment and removal of the president.

They want to kill the Dept. of Ed so billionaires can dodge taxes while our kids get crumbs? Absolutely not. We’re fighting for classrooms, not yachts. Hands off our schools. #GOPCutsKillEducation
