I dunno, maybe if Democrats ACTUALLY fight and scrap for those targeted instead of telling us we need to “expand the tent” or “grow the kitchen table” as they poll test every demographic to see if they are “worth” the effort … I dunno, maybe people start to look at everything going on differently.

Many media outlets hid the full truth of Trump -- his background in organized crime, his Epstein ties -- out of fear, only to be obliterated by him in the end. Had they not self-censored then, they might not be state-censored now. When you hide the truth, you face the consequences.

“Yes, we are living in mad times, when up is down and down is up, when injustice is presented as justice, when less and less is making sense…It’s surely why I am doing what I can to confront these twisted ideas and actions (and the people supporting them)…” www.americaamerica.news/p/how-do-you...

Yep. Technology, Consulting, Financial Services, Health Care and Universities are the most dependent sectors on H1B visas

Earlier this week, Sinclair said it would replace "Jimmy Kimmel Live" with a documentary about Charlie Kirk during the Friday time slot that Kimmel occupies on its ABC affiliates. Friday evening, Sinclair pulled the documentary and aired "Celebrity Family Feud" instead.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

My god. Read this. It fucking matters. The voices of the mothers whose children are heartbreaking. And Elon joked about putting USAID "in the wood chipper." NYT gift link: bsky.app/profile/blue...

A lot of respect for Kristof for not letting this go. It will be easy to forget the USAID cuts in the years to come. It's good to have people around making us remember.

The new reality that is emerging in Texas is that certain topics or ideas are simply off the table in the classroom. The censorship of academic speech and entire fields of knowledge in service to an ideology poses an unprecedented danger to the future of higher education. #AcademicFreedom

I have a baby right here who objects rather strenuously to your ideas for bathwater disposal. Yes, it's a 63-year-old progressive baby, fuck you.

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

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

Fascinating to contemplate all the wild improbabilities this woman’s story expected people to believe, from “Ordering a dead person’s favorite drink is a normal way to honor them,” to “the barista recognized this as Kirk’s favorite beverage, and risked their job to call the customer a loser.”

They've been observing our Earth, and they'd like to make contact with us.

Right-wingers are calling for my arrest. You know why? Because they know I’m the only candidate in my race who will actually stand up to ICE and Trump. And they’re right.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Almost certainly illegal and likely to be struck down in court. Congress has only authorized the government to set fees to recover the cost of adjudicating the application. There is no statutory authority to impose fees designed to limit the use of a visa.

25. Jimmy Kimmel isn’t just a comedian. To the president and maga faithful, he represents “the left,” which is to say, anyone who has enough independence of mind to laugh. Indeed, that might be the biggest obstacle to their hostile takeover attempt.

1. In yesterday’s edition, I explained how telling the truth about a propagandist and liar has been deemed a radical act worthy of punishment. I used the case of novelist Stephen King to illustrate. www.editorialboard.com/telling-the-...

Cancelling Disney+ is fine and well, but here's another strategy that will really get the local affiliates' attention, and thus ABC's attention. CALL. THE. LOCAL. ADVERTISERS.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

the thing you have to understand is that olivia nuzzi, ben smith, brian stelter, maggie haberman, glenn thrush, jake tapper and the rest all go to the same parties and they laugh with each other about how dumb everyone outside the club is

So, a university president fired a professor because they taught a course that discussed there being more than two genders, and now the university president is being fired for not having fired the professor quickly enough, is where we're at. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/u...

I would just like to thank Hollywood movies about Vietnam for training my brain to automatically supplyvisuals of a door gunner in a Huey when the community radio station played "We Gotta Get Out of this Place" this afternoon

We are witnessing a full blown war on science, public health & truth itself. Let me be clear: Vaccines have prevented more than 1.1 million deaths, 500 million cases of illness & 32 million hospitalizations. That's a lot of moms and dads who don't have to bury their children.

OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.

I suppose all this shit is why there’s a whole ass constitutional amendment specifically banning insurrectionists from ever holding office again

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
