Networks—especially ABC, Disney, Hulu, and CBS—need to hear this: you’re standing on the wrong side of history, bending the knee to authoritarianism before the fight even begins, even though the law’s on your side. You’re losing viewers. We’re not going to stand w/you when you’re not standing w/us!
Hello Alberta !?!?
President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers: “It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”
Obviously they had nothing better to do with the money
Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...
The people controlling some of the media distribution pressured ABC. I read these are trumpers. I don’t think it was about Kirk at all. The barb in that comedy sketch was for Trump, described as a 4-year old. Regardless, like you said it’s an attack on free speech and corporate media won’t fight.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Record heat never ends in INDONESIA: Today the Minimum temperature at Lhokseumawe (Aceh,Sumatra) was 25.5C, its warmest September night in history.
EXCEPTIONAL HEAT IN CANADA Crazy heat for the second half of September with up to 34.6C at Kamloops today (terrible forecasts again by ECC understimated by 3C/4C). The heat will continue for the rest of the week: This month in inner British Columbia is being ABSURDLY HOT.

Calling it now: almost all the coming crackdown on progressive groups will be focused on those that provide funding, resources, research, knowledge, or assistance of other kinds to Democratic candidates, voters, and institutions focused on winning the midterm elections. An authoritarian crackdown.
Not a democracy anymore.
Impeachment was literally *created* for this situation. I suspect not a single one of the Founding Fathers would have opposed immediate removal of a president on the grounds reported on here. No wonder America is talking about basically anything else but this and the still-unreleased Epstein Files.
Trump has murdered 14 people in international waters in the last week and Vance is publicly telling jokes about it. So the Right will now call his employer and get him fired for making light of murder, right? MAGAs can get as many folks fired as they like, but he world knows *exactly* what they are.
What I've gradually learned over the last decade is that at any given moment you can count on American businesses and institutions to do whatever the most cowardly fucking thing is When America collapses, as it now seems it will, I hope to God historians recall and write about this cowardice first
It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all. I have different view. When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist. And that is what he will do. This is horrifying.
I'm telling you as a Trump biographer that the man has no intention of there being a free and fair election in 14 months. Things are accelerating—and accelerating for a reason. By the time Fall 2026 begins, Trump needs America to have no expectation whatsoever of a meaningful midterm election.
Worth noting on Kimmel: There’s a reason why people in local TV news privately refer to Nexstar as “death star”
One of my favorite posts ever was along the lines of "Visiting my parents. My dad's worried antifa is going to come to their small town and start a riot. He doesn't know antifa's in his kitchen right now at one in the morning, sneaking the last chocolate chip cookies."
This post went out one hour before Trump’s attack on Freespeech and Designating an idea called ANTIFA a Terrorist grouo We are in danger. Pay attention. open.substack.com/pub/malcolmn...
Well of course a fascist President would consider anti-fascist advocates as “terrorists”. Tell me, has ANTIFA summarily executed people in boats without any due process? No? Hmm, maybe it’s the President who is the terrorist here.
I agree he wants it. He also wants a peace prize.

At Christie Pits of all places — @charlieangus104.bsky.social is right. Corporate media framing this like “two competing immigration rallies in debate” is manufacturing consent in real time. This is why I support independent journalism, not corporate news. #cdnpoli #canada

Within this framework, genocide is presented as a money-making scheme, in which the more people who are killed and the more buildings that are leveled, the more money the US, Israel and their billionaire investment “partners” make.
As a result, the life expectancy in Gaza has fallen nearly in half, from 75 to 40, in one of the steepest declines ever recorded. One child has died every hour in Gaza.
The same day as Rubio met with Netanyahu, the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory published a 72-page report meticulously and irrefutably demonstrating that Israel is systematically committing genocide in Gaza.
Rubio’s statement marks a new turning point. American imperialism, dropping its veil of promoting “democracy” and “human rights,” has adopted language that would not be out of place in a speech given by Adolf Hitler.

An independent United Nations commission said Israel was committing genocide in Gaza. It found indications of intentions to destroy, in whole or in part, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip as a group — which it said amount to genocide.
NEW: 20 US politicians now say Israel is committing genocide. First Jewish members to do so— Bernie Sanders: "The intent is clear. The conclusion is inescapable: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza." Becca Balint: "…the trauma of the Holocaust serves as a reminder of the power of speaking out."

not-so-fun fact: #LongCovid is now more common in children than asthma. #MaskUp, #CovidIsntOver. the vaccines are wonderful but they don't yet prevent all transmission and long covid. it's not going anywhere until we actually physically stop the spread (or enough of us get sterilizing vaccines).
“Results Overall, 4% of children and 10%–26% of adults developed long COVID, depending on computable phenotype used... Temporal patterns were consistent across networks, with peaks associated with introduction of new viral variants.”
When you get a vaccine or a medical checkup, we expect the healthcare worker to wash their hands and wear gloves. We should think the same about wearing masks in medical settings. Viruses can spread pre-symptomatically; masks are another effective infection control measure.
The EU will also set up a “drone alliance” with Kyiv, backed by €6bn in financing to “transform Ukrainian ingenuity into battlefield advantage and into joint industrialisation”, von der Leyen said.

Worth noting that "Wealthy Jewish donors are behind leftist political agitation in America," which is what JD Vance is now saying, is indistinguishable from what the Pittsburgh and Poway synagogue shooters believed.
If He’s Talking, He’s Lying! JD Vance: "It is a statistical fact that most of the lunatics in American politics today are proud members of the far-left." 🙄 The ADL reports that FAR-RIGHT extremists committed 75% of extremist murders. FBI backs it up. THAT is the statistical fact.
Terrific. A leader of the neo-Nazi-infested AfD from Germany met with officials at the White House. Here's a link to an earlier piece at Fight the Fire about the group, beloved by JD Vance and Elon Musk: fightthefire.substack.com/p/vances-ign...
JD Vance is full of shit. He flat out lied today. Dangerous lies.
Hey, didn't JD Vance buy into a company that did exactly this?
JD Vance is calling for Americans to report their neighbors to their employers for bad mouthing Charlie Kirk. The WH says it's cracking down on liberal podcasts/groups in the wake of Charkie Kirk's murder, even though he was killed by another right-wing extremist. This stinks of desperation.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party put out a statement noting that Rep. Derrick Van Orden has posted on X more than 550 times in the past 5 days since Kirk was shot. He's calling for violence against Dems. JD Vance and Trump are fueling it.
I wake up and JD Vance is trending... The Vice President of the United States hosted a podcast in the WHITE HOUSE to promote right-wing extremism and blame left-wing extremism! What the hell is going on in the United States????
Not sure what JD Vance did today from the White House is a brink you can pull back from without some serious sh*t going down. If you studied any dictatorships it’s not hard to see what comes next. Trump has always been a sadistic POS so now are his Christofascist minions.
JD Vance states most of the violence in the U.S. comes from the lunatic radical left. As always, the truth is the exact opposite of what he says. Right wing think tank Cato admits that after terrorism, right wing ideology accounts for more political violence than left.
Question for JD Vance: does it count as badmouthing Charlie Kirk if you quote actual things he actually said? Because he did say that there should be public executions and that 12-year-old children should be made to watch them
This is an essential read on the political thought of JD Vance. The notion of Unhumans (in German Untermenschen) is a core concept of fascist thought in late-20s and 30s Germany. Its best exposition comes in Carl Schmitt's Begriff des Politischen (1927). www.thenerdreich.com/unhumans-jd-...
In a newly detailed report, @nytimes.com reporting that Trump's family secured billions of dollars through a deal orchestrated by his Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and his son Zach Witkoff. Perhaps JD Vance can delve into that in his next Kirk podcast.

They have a lot of practice from years of sane-washing Trump. They are democracy-washing Kirk. Free speech might be a right, but freely speaking lies and hate doesn’t make you a paragon of free speech. It makes you a demagogue taking advantage of others’ misplaced hope you have integrity.

There is no excuse for political violence in America. And no excuse for a U.S. president using a heinous killing as an occasion to treat his political opponents as accomplices to murder and threatening to use the full power of the government to attack them.
