I feel like Americans should know hat Estonia just deployed British nuclear-capable jets in defence of NATO airspace. So while Americans — few of whom give a damn about other countries and the ppl in them — lose their minds over meathead Homan, Europe is staring into the barrel of WW3.
Folks As Russia revels in the discovery of the clown car that is the Trump Administration, they are laughing all the way into NATO airspace at all the BS that has Americans running around with their hair on fire. Estonia is deploying British nuclear-capable jets. GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER FFS
Okay. I‘m gonna say it. Don’t care if it’s “too soon” or “insensitive.” Women who vote for these ppl deserve every damn thing coming to the. Go ahead. Deliver without Tylenol. Watch your infant burn up with fever because no Tylenol. Honestly. Very hard to care abt these people. Very very hard.
This is obvious but we’re talking about a man who thinks HE ended a war between Azerbaijan and (ahem) Albania.
✅✅✅ Let’s see how the DOJ feels about the Disney/FUBO case first
What The Actual Fkkkkkkk Is This Clown Talking About (answer: he’s “read the crowd” and thinks this is what they want to hear)
It was the “highly politicized” Biden DOJ who started this investigation 🙄
This is the way.
New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.
“More bombs were dropped over Vietnam and neighbouring Laos and Cambodia than in all of Europe in Word War 2.” And yet — the Vietnamese can understand that it wasn’t what Americans wanted. They’ve always understood that it’s what a small number of wealthy and weapons manufacturers wanted.
This doc, from 2001 and abt America military action in Southeast Asia and in Central America, has startling relevance to the domestic military action taken by U.S. govt against its own citizens today. “The Friendship Village”, dir by Michelle Mason. www.cultureunplugged.com/documentary/...
Totally — and yet this DOJ will spend untold millions more of taxpayer money on cases that (they’ll win? lose?… doesn’t matter; they’re not paying and the strategic move is to scare ppl with phones anyway).
well well well

This is excellent
The difference is that Trump is the KoolAid man that Project2025 has longed for, for decades. They’ll give him everything if he stays their frontman. Lewis Powell and Milton Friedman weren’t the first but if readers genuinely want to understand more, they should look to the Powell Memo for answers.
i will concede that if you want to influence other people addicted to X, X is worth using. but if you want to influence the actual public, text-based social media is a fool's errand.
…annnnnd SCENE. It’s not SO hard and — guess what! — your kids will survive (and so will you, even tho you’ll probs have to talk to them more)
Do ppl realize Teslas have black boxes? They record what happens in crashes, like when the car takes over & drives into a tree & the actual driver can’t stop it. And to prove this to insurance, they’d need the black box… …which only Tesla can remove & decode, for many 10s of 1000s of dollars.
THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT, AMERICA “But I *like* too many shows!” “It’s just li’l ol’ me — me cancelling isn’t gonna change anything!” This is the scourge of the American ethos: the alt-right know they have collective power and American consumers choose personal convenience over collective survival.
Americans are no allowed to record law endorsement breaking the law. Gathering evidence of regime illegal activity is NOW ILLEGAL. ps. how can it be doxxing if no one knows who they are and no one can even verify if they’re ICE in the first place?
I see that lamp… …and I raise you “two men & their mistresses”
What does he say about corporate greed and how they exert pressure on lawmakers — or suck up to them entirely — to break laws in their favour and allow billions in profit?
lol
Wait — this misrepresents. Disney has a DOJ case re: their acquisition of FUBO. Their hands are not clean.
If you’ve read this excellent article, you’ve read statements much more serious than Kimmel said. ..which proves this isn’t about Kimmel. It’s abt Nexstar wanting FCC to break the 39% rule & approve their merger,& Disney’s DOJ courtcase re: acquiring FUBO. It’s not the 1stA. It’s MONEY. PERIOD.
Hi #ABC You’re not the only one but you’re a big part of the reason this is happening. You, @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, @paramountplusbr.bsky.social… Mergers are why #Paramount & #CBS & #Disney caved — all bc of money! — but you established a culture where this can happen. It’s honestly on you
This is why the Kimmel case matters. Nexstar needs the FCC to break the 39% rule. Their $6bn deal to merge with Tegna would give them 50%. And then they become the broadcast arm of the White House, in thanks for doing them a solid.
Estonia condemns 'brazen' airspace violation by Russian warplanes
Average people don’t understand the legal concept of “venue.” As soon as our data is sold to entities outside the jurisdiction of (Disney, Apple, etc.), they – & we – lose control of our data. As much as they pretend to care, the moment they make it available to someone else, our privacy is gone.
But Nexstar needs FCC to break the 39% rule so they can have their $6bn merger AND Disney has a DOJ situation re: their acquisition of FUBO AND Corps don’t have to abide by the 1stA. Kimmel may have a breach of contract case against Disney but that’s it. THAT’S what makes this all so sinister.
WOW
“mortgage fraud” is the Capone-era equivalent of “mail fraud”
wow banana peels in the coal mine Yes
😮😭
Oh my word
Well wait This isn’t the whole story You have the Nexstar $6 billion merger that needs the FCC to break the 39% rule You **ALSO** have DISNEY with a DOJ case regarding their acquisition of FUBO, a consolidation of sports broadcasting. It’s money, people, your 1stA is negotiable & for sale.
…ignore law in order to give them power, control, and money. The obvious quid pro quo is that Nexstar will become the media arm of the White House, piped into 50% of the market whether consumers like it or not, and that is very, very serious.
It’s even grosser than I realized at first. It’s not just the $6 billion merger; it’s not that they want 41%, a slight increase; it’s that they want (and have every reason to fully expect) this administration to flagrantly…
…because without it they will lose money. They want money. That’s what this is. The American First Amendment is negotiable and for sale.
…they could weaponize. If the FCC grants this merger – if they allow one company to control 50% of your entire country – THAT is a true death knell. It middle fingers laws against monopolies but, more importantly, it induces massive media companies like this to always suck political d*ck...
The Nexstar/Tegna merger would give Nexstar more than 39%. They need the FCC to break the rule and allow them to have close to 50%. That’s how huge this is. They were waiting with their beer & bags of popcorn for Kimmel to come back from summer vacation and say something — ANYthing — that…
Your important read for today is:
Important
Sharing to save.
Wow — this is pretty great
Goodbye, Disney+!
Is it possible that the purveyors of popular culture “will ignore the 50 percent or more of this country that want television, film and music that doesn’t feel like it was extruded directly from the president’s brain,” Michael Hirschorn writes.
my gawd you’ve nailed it
You are unquestionably correct AND… They are BOTH using the 1stA — *AS *A *PROP. The First Amendment is now a casual tool to be used when convenient and tossed when troublesome.
Cancel your Disney subscription. And Paramount Plus. Your kids will survive. Unless you’re a parent who needs them to sit like zombies so that you don’t have to talk to them.

Yes! Sinclair too!
Carr is the CHAIRMAN of the fckn FCC, ffs. Making posts like this. omg Oh — and he’s a co-author of Project 2025.
In 1983, 50 companies controlled 90% of the U.S. media market. That number is now down to 5.

Okayyyyyy Here we go. @gtconway.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.substack.com
It’s the Nexstar merger. They’re delighted everyone is ranting about the First Amendment. Corporations don’t have to abide by the 1stA. They want FCC Carr to approve their 6billion dollar merger. Like Paramount cancelling Colbert, this is about money. Stop talking abt Trump&1stA. Cut the cord.
I've heard some people say they won't give up Disney because of their kids. You could instead use this as a teaching moment. This is why we are here. Get on board or get out of the way.
“ANTIFA” means Anti-Fascists ya dummfuxxxxx. GAWD. How can this clown car and its followers not put this neon 2+2 together.
Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:
Respectfully, when CBS cancelled Colbert, there was appropriate outrage. But everyone knew exactly what it was: the Paramount merger. Kimmel is far more obvious but is still only about a merger: Nexstar is sucking up to FCC Carr — a co-author of Project 2025 — to get their 6bn merger approved.
Honestly no idea why ppl keep posting to huge corporations, who are beholden to their shareholders — or the fiscal arms race. Stop appealing g to their better angels. They don’t have any. They are a shell for greed. And they don’t have to abide by the First Amendment, by the way
Trump is Project2025’s KoolAid man. FCC Carr is one of the P25 authors. If ppl want to make change — like they did w/Tesla — cut the cord. No Nexstar, Sinclair, Tegna or Starlink. The First Amendment is a casualty. The Kimme situation is abt the Nexstar merger, plain and simple.

A tsunami advisory is in effect for a portion of the Aleutian Islands in the wake of a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck off the coast of Eastern Russia on Thursday.
This is about the Nexstar merger. The 1stA is a casualty. The more ppl talk abt this being Trump or #FirstAmendment, the further from the problem they get. Change your cable provider. Or cut the cord. If you want to hit them in the 💰🍆, subscribe to anyone but Nexstar, Sinclair, Tegna or Starlink
Corporations are not obliged to abide by the First Amendment. Nexstar is in breach of contract w/ Disney, who’s in breach with Kimmel et al. Nexstar wants its merger to go thru so they suck up to FCC Carr, co-author of Project2025. Trump is their KoolAid man — this is Project2025, folks.
🤯
If Nexstar can do this to goad FCC Carr into approving their merger, then yes: it’s all about money. But if angry consumers want to go to the source: change your cable provider.
With respect… It’s the Nexstar merger. Like with Paramount. They are getting into FCC Carr’s favour to have it approved. Carr is a co-author of Project2025. Kimmel & Disney meet today — will surely cost Mouse 10’s of millions to break all those contracts; maybe a hush deal until after merger.

If this became a weekly series, it would run longer than The Simpsons.
It's hard to overstate just how off the charts warm the Pacific is right now. The swath of the basin from California to Japan (a HUGE area) from 25N to 60N is ~3F (1.6C) above normal. To put it into math terms that is 6 Sigma/ standard deviations above the mean. More… 1/
Grift You’re forgetting the grift. If he sues as POTUS, taxpayers foot the bill but he’ll keep the rewards & pay nothing if he loses. If POTUS sues, rewards should return to the public purse. But he won’t sue. He’s expecting them to fold & pay up, like CBS and Columbia. He wants the money.
Yah, ok Lies, but… What’s getting missed here is that “low income housing” is being used as a slur: a dog whistle for the wealthy, where undeserving unclean poor people will settle their land. The wealthy should get their enclave back and their gardeners and nannies should stay where they belong
Hey #SethMeyers isn’t this The Kind Of Story We Need To Hear Right Now? They overthrew their government, held an election VIA DISCORD, and elected a new leader inside of FIVE DAYS. @latenightseth.bsky.social @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social @lastweektonight.com
Because ppl run on the promise of representing constituents but when they arrive in DC, it stops being abt their 700,000 constituents & they start participating in federal politics. 538 has 🇺🇸 politics in a chokehold; Congress must grow w/ population & party affiliation can’t be required w/ voter reg
No joke: Nepal overthrew their government, held an election VIA DISCORD, and swore in a new president in LESS THAN FIVE DAYS… …L A S T W E E K
It’s gauche to give words the weight of their meaning BRILLIANT ✅✅✅
Sir: Respectfully, you’re missing something & the public needs to hear it on repeat: Taxpayers pay his legal bills whether he wins or loses. He keeps the money if he wins. But it’s a personal suit & HE pays his lawyers, keeps $$ if he wins… …or he sues as POTUS & taxpayers keep the $$. #grift
Cue ICE raids at starbucks
Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.
This is a license for Trump to print money. The best grift ever: he wins and gets the money or he loses and has paid nothing; either way, American taxpayers finance these money-making schemes. You can bet WH lawyers will be hired despite this obviously being personal and not presidential.
The facts won’t matter. The masses, of all political stripes, have been conditioned to absorb only the topline, unable to distinguish between the man and his murder, his legacy and a well-documented on-the-record career which is already forgotten but held up as a fine 1st amendment effort.
