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."

All they had to do to circumvent the 1st Amendment was outsource the censorship to the oligarchs. The oligarchs have seized control of not only the media but the very platforms and algorithms used to disseminate information itself. www.thedissident.news/the-oligarch...

Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, scholars' association says - www.reuters.com/world/middle...

After WWII, social scientists studied the personalities of fascists. What they found perfectly describes today’s Republicans: “ethnocentrism, superstition, aggression, cynicism, conservatism, and an inordinate interest in the private sex lives of others.” (Story by @annaleen.bsky.social.)
