Some takeaways from ABC/Disney backtracking on Kimmel: 1) Corps only care about $$ SCOTUS says money is speech. So use your voice! Boycotts work. Collective action works! 2) A huge amount of energy went into helping Kimmel. We need that same energy for book bans & attacks on marginalized creators.

This video tells me that while Cuomo has Jewish Facebook ‘friends’, Zohran has had late-night drunk heart-to-heart conversations with Jewish friends that involved a bunch of “I love you bro” and at least one “let’s start a band.”

Just a reminder that, despite what these freaks would have you think, antivaxx is extremely unpopular and we need to attack them relentlessly for putting insane dipshittery over our health

"kristi noem and corey lewandowski, who we can confirm are not only dating but running DHS together" absolutely cursed sentence

Kenvue is the company that owns Tylenol. I assume they're now open to massive legal claims.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Measles is spreading in Utah and Arizona. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

The tariffs are the least popular thing Trump is doing. It's a unilateral trillion-dollar tax hike on Americans that raises prices on items they buy every day.

Some one give me a tl;dr on Rapture logistics/mechanics. I've witnessed so many predictions of it and I'm still befuddled.

This story is worth a read, but it's so frustrating to see, since I know virtually everyone quoted in it (and the author) and ... there were *lots* of people warning of these coming dangers. Andreessen became a baby about his feelings long before taking offense to the slight from the Biden admin.

I cannot believe this woman, who retaliated on PEN staffers speaking out for Gaza, is still insisting that the threat is coming from both sides. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/o...

shit ain’t over til it’s over

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

This entire article was a really good read for this Monday morning www.thenation.com/article/acti...

Damn! Sorry we hurt the Nazis' feelings!

So the thing is, the more they fight with each other, the better.

They still haven't consolidated full authoritarianism yet; they can still lose

Yeah, I had to try three sites to cancel Disney+ but the runaround only made me more determined to do it.

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

So unifying

What you are witnessing is weakness performing as strength. Trump knows his coalition is fracturing over Epstein, Israel, the economy, and now the FBI investigation of Kirk's murder. The majority has abandoned him. He's old and decaying. Only way to stay in power is cheat.

Just over on @cnn.com leaning into #newspeak But enlighten us. What exactly is a “chief loyalty enforcer?”

literally 🫶

The writer of Andor, Dan Gilroy, wrote an op-ed in Deadline and it is as good as you might imagine. deadline.com/2025/09/ando...

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.

Do YOU remember “the 21st night of September?” Earth Wind & Fire’s co-writer Allee Willis said she told the band: “We can’t leave ‘baa-dee-ya’ in the chorus. That has to mean something.’” Maurice White replied: “No, that feels great. That’s what people are going to remember. We’re leaving it.”

Cool, another letter. Should be effective. 🫠

Anyone who signs this pledge is not a journalist.

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

I’m off the ground, but there are still good people on the ground at Broadview.

And any journalist or media outlet with even an ounce of integrity would say fuck no. Otherwise they're all state media now.

There goes the First Amendment.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

The first amendment is the first for a reason and they’re going after it with all they have.

If someone goes from a media outlet to a government agency and then implements a policy attempting to prevent the media from reporting on the agency, what does that tell you about their media outlet?

There's a lot of work to be done. Get in where you can.

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

If you found that Jimmy Kimmel getting pulled due to FCC coercion was a heinous attack on free speech (& it sure as hell is!) wait till you hear about the 10,000 books that have been banned in schools & libraries! If you're an author, join the fight @authorsabb.bsky.social We're stronger together!

Charlie Kirk on Pope Francis:

A reminder that the only reason Republicans are shitcanning basic checks and balances and rules of order is because they cannot imagine a circumstance in which they will ever be out of power again. www.cnn.com/2025/09/18/p...

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

As someone who has covered the rise of Black support for MAGA extensively, it hit Garrison Hayes hard: Where are those voters now that Trump is wiping this history from the books? Read more: https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2025/09/black-maga-voters-history-erasure-video/
