This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

It was never about FREE SPEECH. It was always about the protection of HATE SPEECH.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“For reasons best understood by moguls and their lackeys, the people who run the media simply find people who do what we do either annoying or unprofitable. Extraneous. I don’t think readers agree. I truly do not.”

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

If I'm expected to vote blue no matter who, Democratic reps better do the fucking same. If I "must" vote for billionaire moderates like @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, stop SABOTAGING @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mayoral run. The hypocrisy over the last couple weeks has been insane.

As I worked over the winter on my new book, there was one chapter that felt particularly heavy—the accounts of Jewish refugee scientists fleeing Hitler's Europe and how democracy succumbed to fascism. Much of this feels too familiar right now: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...

In honor of #MaybeHappyEnding turning its back on AA Broadway actors, my pitch to the universe - I want a jukebox musical adaptation of Joel Kim Booster's FIRE ISLAND. Three guaranteed AA leading male roles per cast in the most fun adaptation of Pride & prejudice ever. Please give this to me.

Evergreen "what the fuck?" To that thing that's trending.

A story about Stephen Colbert I’ve never shared before. Years ago I was hospitalized for a month. One of toughest things I ever had to do. Confined, monitored, my health a mystery with no solution, cycling through roommates & their families who needed miracles, or would go off to surgery & vanish…

I have no words. Everyone prepared for the constitutional crisis of the President defying the SCOTUS. The crisis is the SCOTUS being fully aligned with Trump’s vision of presidential power. So here we are.

If the overlap of youngest Gen Xers and eldest millennials are Xennials, and the millennial/Gen Z version of that are Zennials, is Gen Alpha/Beta the Alphabet generation?

I just...

I have never cared about Catholicism so much in my life as I do now

Oh good, I was worried he was gonna say something like "Public infrastructure."

Yussssss #Sinnersmovie

Literal Nazis inside the Administration but the media still takes what they say about racism and antisemitism at face value.

Dear TV writers, The Writers' Guild of America West released their employment analysis of the 2023-2024 year and it's... pretty damn bleak. Almost half of available staffing positions disappeared in a year. This sucks. But also? This means it's not JUST you.

Mo Ryan, who’s taken a couple abusive hollywood bosses out for, as my grandfather would put it “a tour of the gravel pit”, is now asking for help for a survivors group. I’m in, and would ask you to at least follow the link and check it out.

Seeing this get a lot of retweets but there’s no sourcing for it anywhere. Before of misinformation.

"Think about a bank robber — walks in, their face is covered,” Hochul said. “Someone assaults someone on the subway, they can get away with it, despite the fact that we have cameras, because they are masked.” Yes, because the most grievous parts of those crimes were that the criminals wore masks.

New Yorkers, please call your state rep, state senator, and Kathy Hochul and tell them NO MASK BANS. This garbage proposal would kill people. We're on the verge of a measles epidemic and this terrible governor is pushing this? NO. Find your reps here: reps.fyi gothamist.com/news/gov-hoc...

Absolutely love that he’s reclaiming the proper pronunciation of his name. Let’s get on board, everybody.

Before there was Johnny Carson, Dave Letterman, Jay Leno and company, there was late-night caveman Grog. “Live From the Beginning of Time: Late Night Comedy Monologues Through the Ages” tinyurl.com/4mut42ve.

He should not be able to profit off our pain and suffering.

Once again, Pragmatism is our friend. The thing is what it does. It doesn’t matter if they *call* this some convoluted anti-DEI bullshit, it’s resegregation.

Gov. Walz, "There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA."

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

Spoiler alert: the rest of the interview is linked and it's not better.

[email protected] to Sen. Chuck Schumer: "What is the cost you see to the constitutional order of a shutdown that isn't already being done now?"

FYI, I know you are all upset & I’m devastated. We’ve tried to mobilize people from all over to get the Senate Dems to do what’s right. In about 15 minutes, I am planning to be disappointed. Please take out your anger, appropriately by sending letters, emails, making calls & supporting primary

NOW: Almost 100 people are outside the home of @schumer.senate.gov calling on him to vote NO on cloture and NO on the disastrous Trump-Musk budget

arguments over who would get blamed for a shutdown are insane. the median voter has no idea this is happening. the median voter knows one fact about politics and it’s that Donald Trump is the President

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

That this was even an apparent DEI-related controversy is so damn shameful. At the very least some photos are said to have been reinstated. www.yahoo.com/news/know-u-...

When I first came out CA in 2008, there was a vote on something called Prop 8, which would've banned gay marriage in CA. It passed. Be the person your grandkids won't look at as a POS.
