Remember when CBS refused to air a 60 Minutes segment regarding inhumane conditions in a Salvadoran prison where the U.S. was deporting migrants? Why did CBS refuse to air this Colbert interview with Democrat James Talarico, who is running for Senate in Texas?

Dear Film Industry, Wouldn't it be nice to have a film version of WUTHERING HEIGHTS that was: 1. Filmed in Yorkshire 2. With actors that one could plausibly believe to be from Yorkshire 3. Of the right age (teens and 20s) 4. Actually scripted by someone who has read the book ALL the way through?

Federal agents arrested the former CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday on charges that he violated federal law during a Jan. 18 protest against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, his lawyer said. The case had been rejected last week by a magistrate judge.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

in times of turmoil it is very easy to feel like theres nothing you can do to help, especially if you are far away, but i promise buckaroo EVERYTHING helps. there is direct action like donating money or protesting, and there is cultural action like creating art and cultivating atmosphere of change

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
