Good one!
I know what l'm doing at 11:30 pm tonight: turning on ABC to see if they're airing Jimmy Kimmel Live. If they DON'T, I'll note of every commercial that's run & I will boycott every single advertiser. If they DO air Kimmel, I will make a note of every commercial and I will SUPPORT those advertisers.
I was just telling a family member that. So far we haven’t seen anyone falling out of eight story windows, or poisoned, but I can imagine it might happen on our shores.
If you’re not watching Trump’s UN speech, we can sum it up for you: “Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me…”
Agree with Mayor Pete.......
Keep resisting and fighting fire with fire.
The entertainment industry has never been a bastion of free speech. Not a single Hollywood studio resisted the Red Scares. They all accepted blacklisting. Every one. The difference is that now our news media are part of the entertainment industry.
Love that he’s wearing a Jimmy Kimmel baseball cap
Weird right? He used to support the first amendment
Great news: Over 100 nonprofits pushing back: “Our country is built on the premise that everyone has the right to express themselves, even when others don’t agree with or like what they say. No one should fear for their safety simply for expressing their views.” medium.com/@uniteinadva...
What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world. What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.
And now Jimmy Kimmel is suspended and off the air indefinitely. Man, fuck this country, for real. Enjoy living under a dictator. Time to look into other options.
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.
I love DuckDuckGo. It’s my browser now.
In the US, the work of keeping kids safe falls to families, usually moms. That responsibility makes moms hypervigilant about potential threats. Which can lead them to trust fear over reason. And which is why RFK Jr. is pushing the lie that Covid vaccines killed kids. arstechnica.com/health/2025/...
Happy anniversary!
Well said
Putin is pushing the limits of NATO members security. It tells you what his goals are: domination.
Every word…
Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.
If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.
White men should be banned from gun ownership.
Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.
This!
I understand people wanting to retire and get out of the toxic work environment, but where does that leave all of us who depend on CDC and other government agencies?
Good night 💤 “Your mind is a garden. Your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds.” Unknown
That is so fucked up. I’m sorry.
This is absolutely disgusting and amoral.
Absolutely ridiculous
Gov. Shapiro: "This isn't a time for partisanship...We've seen political violence leave scars on individuals on the political left and the political right. We see it with Congressman Scalise who walks with a limp after being shot, or Congresswoman Giffords...We must condemn all political violence."
Can we borrow Brazil’s Supreme Court? Ours seems to be out of order.
Sickened to my core how partisan the current administration is. Hypocrites.
We were told many Republicans didn’t want to vote for Medicaid cuts but did it because they were scared. Who were they scared of? They didn’t fear the left coming after them. It’s people on the right phoning for SWAT teams, sending threats to kill family members, and using arson to “send signals.”
From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!) Receipts: zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...
On September 11th, we should be remembering and honoring all the lives lost during and since this day in 2001. Instead we have terroristic threats being lodged against fellow Americans www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Horrible
He must be removed from power. This is a sick bastard who raped young girls. The people defending him should be ashamed of themselves.
Since they ARE endorsing racial profiling, it makes me wonder. 🤔
Absolutely sickening
Awesome
It’s absolutely sickening.
The Supreme Court’s decision to allow ICE to stop people based on their skin color, accent, or workplace is un-American, Tom Nichols argues in The Atlantic Daily.
Sickening
Yes
In total agreement. Time for a general strike.
🧵🧵🧵 Two decades ago, writer Laurence Britt listed 14 defining characteristics of fascism. In this thread, I match them up with actions of Trump and his regime. Spoiler alert: MAGA is 14-for-14. 1. Powerful and continuing nationalism
Oh my God, this is outrageous if true
Outrageous! He’s declaring war on our country.
Hey MAGA. Sure, you lost your job. And your health insurance. But at least your kid's about to get polio.
So much winning. 🙄

Elizbeth Warren goes for the jugular! #RFKJr is putting babies health at risk, seniors health at risk and you should resign.
There is no democratic justification for withholding these files. This is a coverup.
US stocks vs. rest of the world: worst underperformance since 2009. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social @dailychartbook.bsky.social
🧵 Jess Michaels, a survivor of 27 years, just spoke with unshakable courage before the world: for herself, for Virginia Giuffre, & for every survivor silenced for too long. Her voice broke through decades of denial. The survivors will be silent no longer.
MTG in the audience, wow!
A DOGE whistleblower revealed that employees uploaded a Social Security database—containing full names, dates of birth, and addresses of hundreds of millions of Americans— to a cloud server without “independent security or oversight," creating “enormous vulnerabilities" to hackers. trib.al/FDTWG43
And Trump probably feels left out.
How about you? Do you love your children more than your guns?
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
The U.S. is one of the world's biggest human rights violators under Trump. Well done, maga.
This is absolutely laughable, and absolutely chilling at the same time.
Straight up Cray Cray
Jones: We have a presidential administration that has more outrage about the changing of the cracker barrel logo than they do about changing the policies that allow our children to be gunned down in school…
Stop trusting the experts @RobertKennedyJr? Who should we trust? Deranged lunatics with a history of drug abuse and a brain eaten by worms? As for you, may you pay a severe price in hell for the damage you are causing to America and those who will die because of you.
Ridiculous
Canadians love their children. Americans love their guns.
This is horrifying
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker warns Trump ‘Do not come to Chicago’ with military troops
Mango Mussolini is out out of control this morning.
Not by a longshot. Yes to Corey Booker, Gavin Newsom, and others.
I sure hope DC and Puerto Rico and other disenfranchised lands gain statehood.
He’s wrong.
It’s time for a bold change.

The boycott of Target worked.
Disgusting
WATCH: Texas Rep. Collier says the high road has crumbled
Can’t believe he’s friends with a dictator who’s committed war crimes.
There was an unprecedented meeting at the White House yesterday. Why? Because America’s allies don’t trust our president anymore. Why? Well the fact he is nuts, loyal to Russia, a liar, and an incompetent surrounded by incompetents has something to do with it. www.thedailybeast.com/is-peace-in-...
Like you I've seen all the pics people post here abt the steady increase of tacky gold crap he keeps adding to the oval office. But somehow it wasn't until I saw this picture that it just hit me. What the actual fuck. Like a Vegas whorehouse.
This is so fucking surreal
🚨Newsom’s Trolling BREAKS the Internet...AGAIN!!! And America has joined in on the action. WATCH NOW: youtu.be/gUN9A1v_EME?...
This is absolutely outrageous
🚨 PLEASE SHARE 🚨 If you’re in Austin, there is a current call to show up at the Capitol building 1100 Congress Ave. - tonight 08/17 at 7:00pm. The Texas GOP is holding Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier hostage. She refused to sign a “permission slip” that would require a police escort!
