There’s competition, I know. But threatening to pull the broadcast licenses of the affiliates of an entire “big-3” television network unless they stop their evening talk show host from criticizing the president has to be one of the biggest First Amendment violations in U.S. history.
Checking in on this
Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.
Kimel slammed a MAGA faction for twisting a teen’s murder into a political scorecard. This Analysis shows why 75 years of data mean silence could be lethal. https://americanmanifesto.news/warning-we-will-be-decimated-if-we-stays-quiet
I wrote about Ted Cruz's dismissal of right-wing violence, including an extended excerpt from my book looking at the construction of non-existent cabals. www.pbump.net/o/the-vast-l...
One owner controls the voice of our nation? There was a time when no person/company could own that much media, for obvious reasons we are now seeing.
NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.
Fundamental right, free speech. This administration has taken us down a road we are not going to be happy traveling.
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.
At least 13 people have been wounded, five critically, in two shootings that erupted over a span of 12 hours at homeless encampments in Minneapolis with the city's mayor saying he wouldn't be surprised if they are connected. abcnews.go.com/US/people-hu...
#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pnks Our 1st Amendment has again been violated. ABC canceled Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely for comments about Kirk. Yet the “President” can disparage Democrats with impunity, this is Fascism. Freedom of speech is our right!
Wasn't always like that...had a great uncle from that area, he was a strong Dem and a state senator....now? Sigh...
Harjit Kaur, a 73-year-old grandmother who has lived in the U.S. for three decades, was unexpectedly detained by ICE last week during a routine check-in, according to her attorney. on.nbcboston.com/ZYYvQWE

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.
🚨CW🚨80 year old business owner and man with a heart condition beaten by 3 ICE attackers. Denied medical care. 1/2
Those who are working right now at the FBI are dealing with a situation that is horrific. I have worked for a boss like this and the stress is almost unbearable. Nothing good will come from this, NOTHING.
KAMLAGER-DOVE: Dylan Roof, who followed white supremacist propaganda, murdered 9 Black parishioners in 2015. Do you deny this? PATEL: I'm sorry. Dylan Roof? Can you give me more information? KAMLAGER-DOVE: You're head of the FBI

BREAKING: A court ruled that ICE can no longer detain immigrants in abusive conditions at 26 Federal Plaza while our case continues. This ruling requires ICE to provide people detained at the facility access to hygiene products, sleeping mats, and free, confidential calls to their lawyers.
#Pinks #ProudBlue This is disgusting. We aren’t friends with Russia or Belarus. Stop kissing Putin’s ass and honor our treaty with NATO. Traitors. www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/09/15/u...
Trump's too much of a Nazi for the guy who wrote the fucking Torture Memo

Hiding the truth.
Not good, especially for Northern CA fishing....crabs and so on. Will be another bad season.
This is a fair point.
“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
This is the violence from the right. This is what they want us to ignore. We will NOT. RIP.
2 men were hanged in Mississippi yesterday. A 21 year old student at Delta State and a 36 year old homeless man were found in different parts of the state. The police have said no evidence of foul play, but some say the student was beaten and had broken limbs. whereisthebuzz.com/two-men-foun...
A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?
We don’t celebrate his death, but we won’t hide the truth about his life.
We must unite against those who seek to divide us.
There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them. This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.
@zeteo.com Listen to Kirk's own words and think about whether you believe he was an individual you would want your child to become. #ProudBlue #Pinks #DemVoice1 #DV1 Charlie Kirk in His Own Words zeteo.com/p/charlie-ki...

“There is no where in the Bible where we are taught to honor evil and how you die does not redeem how you lived. You don’t become a hero in death when you are a weapon of the enemy in life” ~Pastor Howard John-Wesley of Alfred Street Baptist Church In DC #CharlieKirk (🎥: Etan Thomas)
Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...
Ukrainian drone strikes deep in Russia have triggered major internet outages, forcing the Kremlin to suspend services. Cash registers down, buses halted, deliveries lost — at a cost of $557M/hour across Russia and $115M in Moscow alone. (FT)
Charlie Kirk was the 18,533rd American shot and killed in 2025. Why is he the only one people are talking about? What about the 18,532 before him? What about the roughly 400 hundred who were shot and killed since then? Does anyone know any of their names?
NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor "We’ve had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family."
If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.
Charlier Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
No thanks! Waiting for your book about how senile trump is. Until then, huge pass.
Fox News host, Brian Kilmeade, calls for the extermination of homeless people. But it’s the liberals that are stoking political violence?! They’re trying to silence the truth-tellers. Don’t let them. Loudly and relentlessly call out their hypocrisy. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
You SOB, my SON is a VET who has mental health issues and was living in shelters/homeless. You wanted to kill him. You aren't sorry you said what you said, you are just sorry that you said it in public.
donOld is creating a palace out of OUR Whitehouse. His ballroom has increased in size, from hosting 650 to 900. And. NO ONE IS STOPPING HIM. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...
What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike. In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting. We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.
Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

Dan Rather saying this is a gut punch. I know where we are headed, and I would rather have an honest and truthful media, but damn, I have to be honest, it's terrifying
Like I said, DHS, ICE, Border Patrol & CBP lie. The press needs to stop publishing what they claim w/out proof. Exactly what I warned you about w/their press release: unraveledpress.com/what-happene...
unraveledpress.com/what-happene...
With all the chaos, let's not lose track of the fact that elected officials are (successfully) calling for the firing of private citizens for expressing protected viewpoints about Kirk. www.npr.org/2025/09/13/n...
Brian Kilmeade and Fox wants Genocide of homeless human beings: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill 'em." Kilmeade is trying to normalize Genocide. There's absolutely no other way to frame this: "The Final Solution" – different group, different decade, same thing.
BREAKING: Romania says a Russian drone violated its airspace, fighter jets scrambled
🚨ICE murder in Chicago🚨 Government sanctioned murder is the act of terrorism.
In the rush to be first, mainstream media has been false. America deserves only the facts and accurate reporting from its journalists.
Newsom reacts to Kilmeade’s cold-hearted comments👇🏽
We're at a point now where a Fox News host can just casually suggests killing homeless people with a lethal injection on air and no one bats an eye but a MSNBC contributor gets fired for calling Charlie Kirk "divisive".
New video of ICE murdering someone in Franklin Park, Illinois for driving away. He claims he was dragged.
Colorado Democrats 👀 Here is who is running in District 8. Manny Rutinel. You probably want to watch a few times to get his full story, like I did. Anyway, he wants to save Medicaid & lower energy bills. Enjoy! @mannyrutinel.bsky.social 🇺🇸🇺🇸
BREAKING: Debbie Robinson, the grandmother of Tyler Robinson, who killed Charlie Kirk: “My son, his dad, is a Republican for Trump. Most of my family members are Republican. I don’t know any single one who’s a Democrat.”
Pulte should resign
Lamont: We have something called Revolution Wind. It’s 80% complete and will likely power 300,000 to 400,000 homes by this time next year. It will dramatically bring down costs.. We were almost done — and then, at the very last moment, Trump pulled the plug on it.
Prayers for my friend who is fighting cancer.....today was hard.
As promised, Poland closed its border with Belarus. Responses: Russia’s FM demanded Poland “consider the consequences.” Belarus declared its checkpoints remain open. The closure disrupts China's cargo flow. Chinese Foreign Ministry representatives have flown to Poland and Belarus.
Everyone should be held to the same standards.
Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...
The murder of Charlie Kirk is terrible for our country. Violence is not the answer. To learn from this, let's not fictionalize who Kirk was. A day before his death, he said: "Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America." That's not respectful speech. That's violent rhetoric.
Incase you thought Charlie Kirk’s influence was contained within our own borders… This is nuts. Thankfully, the EU Parliament had the good sense to reject this inappropriate nonsense.

Notice how not a SINGLE CLIP of Charlie Kirk is being shown on TV as the news organizations try to eulogize him kindly. Even Fox News. You cannot show a SINGLE THING he ever said that wasnt spewing HATE and violence. What a legacy.
Michigan Lt. Governor…
Reminder that this is what Don Jr posted.
The Trump administration spent $167,000 to destroy $9.7 million worth of birth control and other contraceptives that were supposed to go to low-income countries. Imagine hating helping so much that you’d actually spend money just to make sure others don’t get help.

Jimmy Carter looked better than this before we sadly lost him
Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.
I SAW THAT and sent out a post asking if anyone else saw it!!!!!!! Glad you have the screen shot!!!!!
Pretty unbelievable. Almost 24 hours after the #CharlieKirk shooting atnd the apparent area where the gunman escaped was wide open with journalists like me walking all around. They *just put up some tape closing off the area
