CBS parent company Paramount canceled Colbert to win approval from Trump's FCC to merge with Skydance. Now ABC parent company Disney suspends Kimmel as it seeks DOJ approval to buy Fubo — and its affiliate Nexstar seeks FCC approval to buy Tegna. See how this works?

Banksy's latest work, depicting a judge attacking a protester with a gavel, is gone — just two days after it appeared on one of Britain’s most prestigious court buildings. It was destroyed, a courts spokesman said, to maintain the "original character" of the building.
Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.
We need an HHS Secretary who respects science and does not make policy based on conspiracy theories. Vaccines are safe and effective. Kennedy is threatening the health of our kids and all Americans. He must resign.
The pedophile who committed mortgage fraud by falsely claiming that his 11,000 sq ft condo was 30,000 sq ft is having the DOJ open a probe into Lisa Cook for *checks notes* mortgage fraud.
Give ‘em hell, Governor Pritzker, I’m with you!

I think this is attributed to mental decline, and possibly a series of small strokes, which can sometimes lead to hallucinations or delusions
The UN says the famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and “could be halted & reversed.” Trump is supposedly a “tough guy.” Well, it’s time for him to have the guts to stand up to Netanyahu and stop sending billions in U.S. tax dollars to Israel to starve children.
Yup, still teaching! Thanks for sharing, Professor Reich
On November 4th in California, you will have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. You will have the power to stand up for people. We're going to give the people of this state the power to stand up for democracy.
Let’s Roll, Governor Newsom!
FBI director Kash Patel admits that the murder rate in America is on track to be the lowest in U.S. history, undercutting Trump’s depiction of major cities as crime-riddled hellscapes.
Trump is mobilizing the National Guard against Americans in DC to distract you his administration's massive Epstein Files cover-up.
Trump’s crazy tariff scheme led to the weak jobs report, and instead of acknowledging that his policies might be responsible, Trump fires Dr. Erika McEntarfer.

SATURDAY, June 14… NO KINGS Contra Costa County” - www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
The treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is disgraceful — no matter how you look at it. If this is how the Trump Administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, we should all be alarmed.
Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.
My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:
President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and active-duty Marines in Los Angeles to end ICE protests is unprecedented and dangerous.

Where were we… oh yeah, Elon dropped the bomb that Trump is in the Epstein files. I was enjoying the bitch fight, can we please hear more 🍿
Trump is declaring fake emergencies against immigrants and protesters while gutting our capacity to respond to actual emergencies like natural disasters and pandemics.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

This week’s main story is about Donald Trump’s worsening relationship with the press, how we should be reacting, how it could impact the U.S. moving forward, and how Will Trent has been renewed but Doctor Odyssey hasn’t. We will not sleep until ABC responds.
Bill Owens, the producer of CBS’s 60 Minutes, resigned in protest. Wendy McMahon, the head of CBS News, has now resigned. I say to Shari Redstone: Enough is enough. Do not capitulate to Trump’s attack on a free press. Do not settle Trump’s bogus lawsuit against 60 Minutes.
Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.
A short clip from a 1990 interview Walters did with Trump for ABC’s “20/20” made its way onto TikTok, and users say not much has changed.
Excellent NYT graphic. In the space of about 3 months, tariffs on China: -- doubled; -- went up ≈ 2.5X from there; -- roughly doubled again; -- went up ≈ 40% from there; -- and now have dropped ≈ 80% from the peak -- but are still 3X what they were in February. www.nytimes.com/article/trum...

My grandmother understood this, but I never had to… until now.

… “If you work with your hands, you're a laborer. If you work with your hands and your mind, you're a craftsman. If you work with your hands and your mind and your heart, you're an artist.” — St Francis of Assisi
I remember a Franciscan nun in elementary school reciting this quote during our once a week—yes, that’s right, once a week art class…
