New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

So unifying

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

The British government has updated its maps, now using the name Palestine alongside the West Bank.

Happy Caturday! And Good morning peeps. Some of my favorite peeps in the trees nearby this morning.puddy annoyed he couldn't come out to have coffee with me.. #viewwithmycoffee

This is how you do it. #standup #fightback. Mask on. gloves off! @schumer.senate.gov @markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov @creighdeeds.bsky.social @katrinacallsen.com

Goodbye, Disney+!

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

Play ball #soxnation! Puddys on board!

Agree 100% w/ @jasinmartin.bsky.social

The "Why- are- you- awake lady?" Purrs-day portrait

Man, a lot of crazy shit has happened since Epstein’s birthday letter was released a week ago Monday.

After Trump’s FCC chair, demanded ABC take action against against Kimmel for his comments on Kirk, Nexstar, the largest operator of ABC affiliates announced it would pull Kimmel from its stations Then ABC said it was taking Kimmel off the air Nexstar is seeking FCC approval for a $6.2B merger

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.

We are as long as you sit on your fucking hands, Chuck.

Happy Erev Purrs-day from Puddy!

Attaboy

Folks, if that new centrist group, which shall not be named, is building its entire business model around getting attacked by the left, then it might be advisable to be cautious about whether to draw outraged attention to it...I'd argue for picking the right moments carefully.

those commies at cato will get it for this

Revolting. Triumph of the Will style propaganda comes immediately to mind Triumph of the Will - Wikipedia share.google/n9nBlkRKeIF8...

cato institute analysis of murders by political ideology since 1975, excluding 9/11

Wherever you are, please attend an ICE Watch training. Then link up with a rapid response network, if you're able to do so. In Chicago, trainings are happening regularly. Once you manage to attend one, you can contact OCAD about getting plugged into a rapid response network.

Reset. Rebooting. Recharging.

Happy Caturday! We're taking it slow this morning 😑

Welp I'm back thoughts and prayers for her and yall know how think about prayer....

I know these “interviews” with Justice Barrett are carefully scripted. But if she’s going to keeping urging Americans to “read the opinions,” and not just commentary, it sure would be nice if someone would ask her what we should do when—as is so often the case these days—there’s no opinion to read…

This can’t be accurate because Trump said we took in like $17 trillion in tariffs.

It absolutely matters here that Pritzker was effective at sounding the alarm and plainly stating this would be unconstitutional in a profoundly radical and fundamental way, and showing he could rally practical popular opposition, which then gets spun as backing out over "legal headaches."

Difficult September 11th today as the full realization that the fear of radicalization abroad was what we perceived as the threat to the country when it was really the radicalization here at home that threatens to destroy us.

OK, I’ll admit it: Envying Brazil its seemingly principled Supreme Court wasn’t on my bingo card. Like, not ever. apnews.com/article/braz...

It is wildly unusual for lower-court judges to so publicly express frustration with the Supreme Court’s *behavior* (versus, say, a confusing ruling in a specific case). But the number of *different* examples is completely unprecedented—and pretty powerful evidence that something is seriously wrong.

Whoever first coined “Bongo and Kash,” take a bow

Any y'all subscribe to WSJ willing to share a gift link?

This isn't how birding is supposed to work!

The story is not "Kirk gunned down" the complete story is "Kirk publicly gunned down, after years of inciting violence and advocating for LESS regulation on firearms"

Admit I have very serious doubts about @governor.ca.gov viability as a candidate. UNACCEPTABLE. And his position on homeless is simply deplorable. His statement on Kirk shooting below in thread.

Purr-a-legal Puddy is on call 24/7. Will work for treats.

COMING UP: The fate of hundreds of unaccompanied minor children hangs in the balance as a federal judge, Tim Kelly, weighs whether to block their summary removal from the United States. At 2 p.m. ET, Kelly will hear argument on the children’s motion to enjoin their deportation. Follow along ⬇️ 🧵

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Today we had a chance to stand with the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country in uniform. Ashli Babbitt is not that. She is a traitor. She will be a traitor. She died a traitor."

Authoritarianism thrives on fear and intimidation. But courage is contagious and people are standing up everywhere against the onslaught.

Trump confronted by protestors in a DC restaurant…

BREAKING: A grand jury has REJECTED charges against D.C. attorney Paul Bryant, a West Point grad accused of assaulting and threatening to kill National Guardsmen. Easily the most serious charges to get no true billed so far during the federal surge. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads— “HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.” Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.

Student: can I come to Wednesday office hours. Me: it’s Thursday, you missed them this week. Student: … Me: what?! Student: it’s Monday, professor.

@amybrown.xyz I thought this was a hoax & actually had to Google & MAP it to make sure it was real. I worked for a 50k Watt country music/news talk station on the hill overlooking Newark. Took my last drink in a little bar in Granville in 1993. Wow. Jacktown may have been a hallucination....
