The thing regular people don’t often grasp about ‘academic freedom’ is that if you don’t allow experts to research & teach in their fields of expertise, guided by their professional judgment & decades of training, you have effectively given up on the concept of knowledge & shut down your university

On top of everything going on--- I still have a Resistance School to run! My classes for Race, Media and International Affairs 101 begin Monday, October 6th! We are expanding the class size (but not by much!) So you still have a chance to enroll! www.resistancesummerschool.com/fall-2025-re...

Can he not even grow a FAKE beard? THIS is who has all the money while I am literally scared and unemployed.

In this time of rising fascism, embracing sexual hedonism is a way to claim autonomy over your own body. Chastity is a tool of the enemy. Say no to Locktober, and take down the keyholders! Break free from your cages!

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

Saturday evening kneading

FCC boss Brendan Carr now says his 'easy way or the hard way' comments about Jimmy Kimmel weren’t meant as a threat to pull licenses if Disney didn’t suspend him 🧢

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/

Fight isn't over yet, then. If you are/were hitting Disney with letters/calls re: Jimmy Kimmel, redirect efforts to your local Sinclair affiliate(s) if you have them. Tell them what you think.

You know he’s in those files!

Just bought the new DRG game to discover its not on Xbox One.... TF?! AWESOME i'm so glad I have spare fucking money to waste.

Oh, they're totally going to blame the mothers for the existence of autistic people. It's eugenics wrapped in misogyny.

What the NEWS isn’t showing you‼️

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is stepping up his attack on vaccines in America. One group will bear the brunt of the changes more than others, writes Nicholas Florko:

Fuck these guys, man. Using women who have been sexually assaulted to push their anti-vaccine agenda is so fucking ghoulish and dangerous.

Murphy: "These things work in tandem. The Trump administration offers something to these big companies that will make their owners billionaires then in turn the big companies repress political speech or serve as Trump's propaganda machine. It's a quid pro quo that seems to be happening in open view"

A message to ABC in support of my dear friend @jimmykimmel.com

It’s going to break your heart how many people you know, love, and respect will turn out to be cowards. Prepare yourself as best you can. You are not alone, but you are your own center. Be a strong center.

Good job LA! Keep it up www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Late-night hosts blast Trump after Kimmel's suspension. “If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive,” Stephen Colbert warned.

Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’

WEIRD, HUH.

Are they wrong?

Stephen Colbert's opening monologue on 'The Late Show' "After threats from Trump's FCC chair, ABC yanked Jimmy Kimmel off the air indefinitely. That is blatant censorship ... With an autocrat, you can't give an inch ... If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive"

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".

A full ban on vaccines, esp childhood vaccines, was on my list of of red lines that would trigger and automatic "we have to leave" and it was also the one we all kinda thought was the most unlikely and yet here we are moving briskly in that direction

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."

LIVESTREAM TONIGHT 1900 British time I’ll be talking about the previous episode of Philosophy Tube, how it was made, the good constructive feedback it got, and what it was like recording with Jonathan Frakes as Thomas Jefferson! www.youtube.com/live/kHwACXJ...

Measles cases hit record highs with RFK Jr. in charge. Now, his hand-picked vaccine panel just voted to make it harder for little babies to get vaccinated for measles and other diseases. How does that keep our kids safe?

American does American stuff americanly. "WHAT IS THIS.... ASIA!?!?!?!" I love Walz, but America is just America. You should all be incredibly angry and embarrassed. And spare me. "What about Canada?" It's not even close. It never has been.

His comments WERE awful just not what got him fired. This was a man who regularly used to say that older women couldn't rape boys, and that disabled children (which i was) are like untrained animals. Y'all forget he's always been a right wing dicknozzle.

Incredible to see the support coming from the Together for Palestine benefit concert. "Relinquish an inch of your privilege, so that an entire people don't have to lose everything” - Francesca Albanese. You can also support via our games charity bundle: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.

the most important thing for everyone in this country right now is to practice self preservation. they are entirely rolling back the first amendment and the ability to protest, be careful

Jimmy Kimmel has millions The teachers who got fired ? Don’t The Black women who were put on websites for THE FIRST HALF OF THIS ENTIRE YEAR don’t The immigrants scared to go outside because they are kidnapping them out of cars? But yeah!!!! Now it matters?!?

Ah. "But the disabled community is just being hysterical" Not OP obviously but my point stands.

Did you know that Saturday is International Red Panda Day?

I can NOT be the only gamer who thinks "about fucking time" right? I better not be.

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

Speaking as an unemployed dev: money is also an acceptable option. 😊😄

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

FCC boss Brendan Carr's old tweets resurface after #JimmyKimmelLive was pulled "Political satire is one of the oldest & most important forms of free speech" "It challenges those in power while using humor to draw more people in" "Should the government censor speech it doesn’t like? Of course not"

I mean, here's what Republicans are openly saying should happen to people like me. Seems a bit Nazi-like, tbh!
