The first amendment would like a word www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
Love Pete B!! He is one of the good ones. Right up there with JB Pritzker, James Talerico, Gavin Newsom, Jasmine Crockett, Jon Ossoff and Chris Murphy. Americans need fighters - and people who can bridge the gap between left and right. open.substack.com/pub/demwinsm...
Fuck Trump, fuck Brendan Carr, fuck ABC, fuck Nexstar, and fuck Disney. #FuckTrump
Authoritarianism du jour:
So long ABC News. I will watch a 1st Amendment compliant station instead. #FreeSpeech
From Antifa “terrorists” to Jimmy Kimmel being yanked off air, Trump’s direct assault on free speech is here.
Good on you Eric 👏 👍
Might want to boycott and speak out now, Americans. t.co/0DSaAV1i4R
I just used the parental block to block the ABC affiliate and Disney, in case I accidentally tune to them. 🚫 #BlockABC #BlockDisney
ICE is disappearing people every day. #FascistTrump
This is about more than free speech. It's about power. And intimidation. If they can disappear Colbert & Kimmel from the TV in your home, they can disappear you from your home. And they will. This is just the beginning. We all need to stick together & fight for each other. The Devil is here.
Ro Khanna: "They're making comedy illegal. Brendan Carr pressured ABC to cancel Jimmy Kimmel, and Disney cancels Jimmy Kimmel. This canceling from an administration that lectured us about cancel culture. That's why today I'm introducing a motion to subpoena Brendan Carr."
They want to cancel Jimmy Kimmel and kill free speech? Time to hit them where it hurts—their pockets: - Cancel Disney+ - Cancel Hulu - Boycott ESPN - Boycott ABC Let them know why you’re canceling/boycotting. - ABC contact: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/art... - Nexstar contact: www.nexstar.tv/contact/
See how this works?
Happy Birthday! 🎂 🥳 🎉
Happy 100th Birthday to Tuskegee Airman Dr. Eugene Richardson! A true American hero whose service and legacy continue to inspire generations. Wishing him continued health and happiness as we celebrate this remarkable milestone.
September 18, 2025 Disney Studios protests in Burbank, California The WGAW union sent a notice to their members that the protest would take place today. It's good to see so many people standing up for what is right.
"There is freedom of speech but I cannot guarantee freedom after speech" said by Idi Amin, former Ugandan dictator.
410 days until the midterms!
Turning Point has deep connections to a shadowy Christian nationalist movement. A new book on Charlie Kirk reveals how Turning Point USA's structure mirrors the "seven mountains" of society that some evangelicals believe that Christians are called to conquer.
EXACTLY! 💥🤬
Sounds good.
Who’s in? Don’t make me call you out… 😏 ✍️ 🎭 🎥 💃 🎞️ 🤸♂️ 🤓 🎮 🎨 🖍️ 🗞️ 🎬
Brenda Carr must be removed from the FCC. Protect the Constitution. Demand free speech. #FireCarr #ResignCarr
Translation - F🖕🏼ck free speech!
FCC Chair Brendan Carr says Sinclair has "every right" to demand that Jimmy Kimmel to donate to Turning Point USA
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
Do you want to boycott ABC, FCC, & Nexstar? Turn off your TV and go to your public library and check out books and DVDs. Or go to your public libraries digital service and get e-books and movies for download and streaming. SUPPORT PUBLIC LIBRARIES by using public libraries. Surge their numbers! 📚💙
Keep Kimmel Dump Trump
Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
"Breaking the distinction between protected political speech and illegal action is a frontal attack on the most basic freedom in our constitutional system...We must not lose that tradition of freedom to a president who neither understands nor respects it." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
#FACT REMINDER: The FIRST Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was specifically enacted to prohibit the U.S. GOVERNMENT from attacking the People. ALL attempts to muzzle commentary about the salesman of hate recently murdered are a violation of YOUR rights as granted to YOU.
Senator Bill Cassidy has just announced that Senator Mullen (R, verbal abuser and liar) has admitted he LIED when he said the meeting between Dr. Monarez and RFK Jr. was recorded. She stood by her testimony in the face of these lies and abuse. Mullen should be removed from office for this.
The comment I left on Murphy’s post is just as applicable here.
Self censorship in the name of corporate mergers is still censorship
THIS!!👇🏼
Trump is delusional. He still says he won the 2020 election. #ITMFA #ComplicitGOP
I sent a short rant. What a bunch of wimps. One comment and they pulled his show. Gutless wonders at ABC and Nexstar.
Apparently ABC can get some feedback... support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...
Trump team forces Jimmy Kimmel off the air. RIP First Amendment.... www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...
Surrendering without a fight. Disney and Nexstar violated the 1st Amendment to please the fascist in the White House. #FreeSpeech #KeepKimmelDumpTrump
Bob Iger (Disney), Brendan Carr (FCC chair), and everyone at Nexstar and TEGNA are complicit in enabling Trump's führer-aspiring takeover of what was America. What a dogpile of mouth-foaming MAGA cultists. Spend no money or time with these sycophants, or with their advertisers.
Kimmel and Colbert, both massively, worldwide famous, both fired, simply for pointing out facts the government disagreed with. 1st amendment issues aside…this is literally cancel culture and the right FUCKING LOVES IT. On their knees, all smiles, don’t just tread on me, ruin me daddy.
i have ZERO doubt right now that the 6 corrupt supreme court justices will somehow find a way to circumvent the 'meaning' of the 1st amendment since they actually can't remove it themselves truly, truly shameful what we're seeing happening before our own eyes F*&K YOU M@GA
Either Jimmy Kimmel comes back, or I will stop watching anything on ABC. #FreeSpeech #FuckFascists
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.
This seems completely unbelievable
BREAKING: Democrat Xp Lee wins the Minnesota House special election to fill the seat of Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated in June.
Bummer
I’m a sucker for calendar symmetry: Sept. 15, 2024: Vance says he’s willing to “create stories” to advance his political agenda. Sept. 15, 2025: Vance falsely says it’s “a statistical fact” that most political violence comes from “the far left.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America? Why not acknowledge and confront it? Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files? Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer? These problems won't go away.
WELCH: That was a mistake PATEL: I don't see it as a mistake WELCH: So if you put out a statement that says 'we got our man' and in fact it turns out that you didn't, that's not a mistake? PATEL: That's not what I said WELCH: ...
Robert Redford warned us in 2020: “Four more years [of Trump] would accelerate our slide toward autocracy. It would be taken as free license to punish more so-called ‘traitors’ and wage more petty vendettas – with the full weight of the Justice Department behind them.”
SCHIFF just asked who made the decision to waive Ghislaine Maxwell's sex offender status. Patel says the Bureau of Prisons made the call. Even though the Bureau of Prisons has NEVER ONCE in HISTORY waived someone's sex offender status to move them to a minimum security camp.
Schiff to Patel: "There are victims, like Virginia Giuffre, who have testified otherwise, and you're telling the American people today that Epstein's list is a single name and it's Jeffrey Epstein. That's what we're to believe?"
Translation: Fire Pam Bondi
Kash Patel is a perfect example of a Trumper. Expressing self-righteous indignation when challenged over firing people who investigated Trump. #PatelSucks #FuckTrump
“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024
Governor Shapiro just gave a great speech about political violence. If you missed it, go watch the video. www.c-span.org/program/publ...
The framers didn't cover the case of a Congress totally subservient to the President.
Trump never considers the Constitution.
Because they’re smart enough to see through your loathsome, ignorant, phony, know-it-all self.
The right is attempting to use Kirk's murder as a condemnation of the left, as if the shooter represents everyone on the left. What a silly idea. BTW - release the Epstein files. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Roberto Clemente was a great baseball player and a great human. I'm jaded since I grew up in Pittsburgh when he was playing. #ClementeDay

GET THE ALL-NEW COUNTDOWN PODCAST: Brian Kilmeade "apologizes" 4 DAYS LATER for saying the homeless should be killed by "involuntary lethal injection." Fire him. And hateful criticism killed St. Charlie of Kirk? Like that by Nick Fuentes and Laura Loomer? NEW MONDAY PODCAST: tinyurl.com/awmwbarj
“Either you take the resources…or you decide that you gotta be locked up in jail. That’s the way it has to be now…Or uh, involuntary lethal injection…Just kill ‘em.” - Kilmeade MAGA gets upset when they’re called Nazis. If it talks like a Nazi, it’s a Nazi.
We can't, Musk is a U.S. citizen. 😢
Today would be a fine day to release the Epstein files. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
Stay focused.
Congressional districts should be made as competitive as possible. We just might get a functional House that way. #GerrymanderingIsEvil
There is no law that says you have to choose a party to vote! Vote how ever you want, just don't register for a party. Register as Non aligned or non declared. This makes it very difficult for any party to gerrymander the vote. The proof: If 50% register non declared and the rest are party--
if a scientific study is over 50 years old i should be allowed to read it for free
New sculpture on the Freedom Trail by Harmonia Rosales commemorates 219 known people who, we now know, were enslaved by members and ministers of King's Chapel (founded 1686). Dedicated today on the corner of Tremont & School Streets. @universalhub.com
North Carolina has a law that makes it a criminal offense for people with felony convictions to vote before their rights have been restored, even if they were unaware or there was a mistake. The 4th circuit just struck that down: www.courthousenews.com/fourth-circu...
I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity. I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.
At the @harvardbookstore.bsky.social today looks like we’re in good company
This story feels like it’s going to have huge repercussions
On Wednesday, Brian Kilmeade went on national television and called for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. "Just kill 'em," he said. There hasn't been one word about it in The New York Times or The Washington Post or USA Today.
You know what would really bring the country together right now? Release the Epstein files.
Hegseth should be impeached if Trump won't fire him. #FireHegseth #ImpeachHegseth
“.. I can’t remember anyone ever telling me we can’t say anything critical about a civilian like this. He was not in our chain of command or anything,” the officer said. @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
#EpsteinFiles
Would 🇩🇰 purchase AD systems (the biggest defence order in our nation's history) from a regime that challenges our territorial integrity? From a regime that exploits dependencies for political gains at every turn? From a regime that adds 10% overhead to European arms purchases for 🇺🇦? HELL NO!
Pulte should resign
I keep hearing political violence is never acceptable. These people were pardoned and are now called patriots and heroes by the right and the sitting president. Seems like they think it’s acceptable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oeum...
Poland’s prime minister 👇🏽
Ridiculous. He tried to steal his election to remain in power just like Trump, so of course Lil Marco stands up for the coup leader. But the fact that this is the official position of the United States is disgusting.
