When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

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."

On the anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers, I am posting the cartoon which was my response to the chest-beating nationalistic rhetoric immediately used by George W Bush to stir up support for a military response. The editor at the time would not publish it.

There is literally no Western politician alive that I can think of that has incited more hate, bigotry, and violence than Donald Trump. That so many in our public life, in our 'liberal' media, have just memory-holed 10 years of nonstop incitement and abuse from him is shameful.

My name is Jonathan Nez. I’m the former President of the Navajo Nation. I have fought for rural Arizona my entire life. It is long past time we had someone fight for us in Washington. Can you chip in today to help me win this critical race? secure.actblue.com/donate/nez-f...

It's wonderful to see moments of pure joy in an otherwise pretty hopeless world. Amazing! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This guy is trying to get a Nobel Peace Prize? When he's bringing war to the American people? He sent the United States Marines into the United States of America."

While Putin and Trump are still doing kissyface in Alaska can we quickly build a wall around it so they're trapped inside forever and we sane rational folks can get on with our lives?

So sorry that there’s a need for this video to even exist, but glad to be a part of it. It’s a simple plea during a devastating time. Stop Killing Journalists!! youtu.be/qMq8OUw95-U?...

Taxpayers should get all their money back when this Facist regime ends. All Blue states should stop paying federal taxes. It only ends up being allocated to ICE kidnapping innocent Americans & Immigrants. 🤬🤷

To my American friends in science.

🤣🤣 That's how it's done! 👏👏👏👏

I definitely agree with Snoopy! 💯 ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

Just received a reply from my local Labor member regarding my concerns re the viability of the AUKUS sub deal. The gist is: it's a bipartisan policy, the US & UK are still committed, Oz will own & crew the subs, and we're not going to poke the Chinese dragon. I reckon that's very wishful thinking.

Settlers don’t see Palestinians as neighbors —they see them as targets. Because in the “Promised Land”. Dehumanization is doctrine In any other country, this would be called ethnic violence. In Israel, it’s just another Tuesday in the settlements State-backed, soldier-approved, and media-sanitized

Solidarity with Queensland teachers on strike today. It's never easy, but there is power in the collective

GOOSEBUMPS!! A heartfelt message of gratitude from the Palestinians of Gaza to the people of Australia, as they endure a genocide being committed by the satanic state of israel #FreePalestine #auspol

STUDY: Denmark tracked over a million children for 21 years, and found vaccines linked to zero extra cases of autism, asthma, or 48 other conditions. Vaccines are safe, effective, and the best way to eradicate preventable disease. Period.

maybe there's still some good left in this world after all

GAS IS EXPENSIVE ‼️ GAS IS A GAMBLE ‼️

Stephen Colbert replies to Trump’s post on Truth Social: “How dare you sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go fuck yourself.”

Please share widely. This is atrocious.

🚨MAJOR LIE: Trump claims that Obama & Comey “made up” the Epstein files. FACT CHECK: The first federal Epstein probe was under George W. Bush. The second was July 2019 UNDER TRUMP. Obama had ZERO to do with it. Share to expose Trump’s lies!

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

Couldn't be more true!

Marc Elias is a shining manifestation of inspiration, intelligence, compassion and courage that we need right now - and he gives me hope.

Sometimes it’s permissible to hate.

Excellent read about the demise of truth telling at our national broadcaster. The ABCs of holocaust denial theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Please consider signing this very important petition. Let Labor know we do not want to be tied to a far right US govt. that ignores the international rules based order. nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

Unbelievable! US democracy in action. Zip ties on citizens in wheel chairs who are trying to plead their case. Utterly deplorable !

Hey, @albomp.bsky.social & @senatorwong.bsky.social , I am a lifelong Labor voter so I want you to succeed. I know speaking out against Israeli genocide & aggression & US complicity in it, seems really hard but I wonder how long this will go on before you speak out. Surely the time is now.

It's completely absurd. Of course Trump will be busy working out the spin to ensure that the past was somebody else's fault. It's the way he rolls.

When we feel powerless, when can show solidarity . It's the very least we can do. secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

#TrumpParadeFail REPOST: Spread it all over the internet !!

This is an excellent sign. Love it.

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!
