Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

Keep the pressure on

Been talking to people quite a bit about how it's easy to understand "cancel Disney+!" but harder to understand the initial and bigger problem is with Nexstar and Sinclair, so lemme make it easier. Find your local Nexstar channel Find your local Sinclair channel

Nothing about this is surprising. The way these systems work guarantees it.

Two years ago, our reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.

For awhile, Hollywood was like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, but instead it was '2 degrees of who you know is in therapy because of working on Ellen', but sure, let's rehab her image I guess.

people keep reposting this but cmon it’s made up. the stock hasn’t “collapsed” (it’s barely down) and there are precisely no numbers on how many subscription cancellations there have been

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.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

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

Ghoulish shit.

NAME THEM Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) told the House Judiciary Committee that the FBI has the names of at least 20 people tied to Epstein, including prominent figures in the music industry, finance, politics and banking. www.miamiherald.com/article31214...

The Disney parodies… holy shit

here are the others: Yes on 50 campaign (twice) Vraylar anti depressant (Abbvie) Auvelity anti depressant (Axsome Therapeutics) The law offices of Larry H. Parker Covered California U.S. Air Force Jacoby & Meyers Sweet James accident attorneys (twice)

LA folks! Here are some advertisers from last night’s KTLA news Kevin Jewelers The Pantages (ad for Hadestown) Honda SoCal Cerritos Auto Square ROWl teen Princess cruises Keck Medicine of USC Villaraigosa for Governor Lawbrothers (twice)

Tapping the "blue state governors need to get together and figure out how to stop sending money to the fed from companies based in their states" sign

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Heads up, the Burbank Progressives (who initiated today's protest at Disney) will be present again tomorrow at 12 PM at Disney in Burbank. I'll be there and I’ve spoken to other WGA and SAG members who will join us as well. Please spread the word! See y'all tomorrow! #JimmyKimmel #FreedomOfSpeech

10/10. No notes.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Survivors of the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell respond to FBI director Patel’s testimony:

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Fuck yeah Letterman

Kevin Clancy of Barstool Sports (Dave Portnoy) backs off his previous position on Jimmy Kimmel once he learns the facts and now he’s against it.

this is the shit i want to see

Exactly this

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

By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2022:

This is how Jimmy responded to the shooting. Doesn’t matter to the MAGA crowd. Nothing but blind obedience is acceptable.

I liked when the ugly late night drama was Jay Leno hiding in a closet.

We are point where … Karl Rove and … John “Torture Memo” Yoo feel compelled to loudly and publicly denounce MAGA overreach (louder, honestly, than many Dem leaders). I don’t know what it means: things are abt to get really bad? Or proof of fatal overreach? But either way, it’s just wild.

Shut down the government, Dems. This shit is getting increasingly scary and nuts, and at this point, NOT shutting it down is enabling.

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

ah, well

I think one of Ezra Klein's big problems is that when he says "doing politics" what he actually means is content creation

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

The standard fare position of MAGA Republicanism is that people of certain genders and minority groups should be removed from public life. Their project is to ensure transgender people and migrants of color, for instance, do not live here with them. Those groups are not given a chance to disagree.

A novelist had a hit in the 70s leading to a huge payday & a splashy book launch. That book failed. He went to 80s Hollywood & wrote for a TV show. Cancelled after 2 seasons. He wrote for another show. Cancelled after 2 seasons. Movies & shows failed. In the 90s he went home & wrote Game of Thrones.

"It is not just, for instance, that Kirk held disagreeable views—that he was pro-life, that he believed in public executions, or that he rejected the separation of church and state. It’s that Kirk reveled in open bigotry."

Either the Dems get rid of this entire leadership or they're done as a party (and we may be done as a country)

Today was hard. This was a good post to read.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome
