The Trump administration is weaponizing local police departments across the country through a program called 287(g), which allows officers to profile and detain people for immigration enforcement and ultimately deportation. Congress must stop funding this program immediately.
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...

Not Left, Not Right, Forward. Also not Backward. That SHOULD go without saying, but there are a couple of major parties that still need to hear it.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.
He finally got his revenge against the man who asked him if he was up past his jail time. Now it's up to us to ask why he's terrified to release #TheEPSTEIN_PedoFiles. #StandWithTheSurvivors
More than 200 businesses and nonprofit groups have joined prominent climate scientists in pressing North Carolina Gov. Josh Stein to challenge Duke Energyās huge expansion of fossil fuels. Duke Energy is one of the worldās worst climate polluters. Learn more ā”ļøhttps://bit.ly/46wM5cd
STEWART: āComedy doesnāt change the world, but itās a bellwetherā weāre the banana peel in the coal mineā¦ authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thoughtā¦ progress.ā Nailed it.
Release the Epstein files!!!
The right is honoring Charlie Kirkās legacy of āfree speechā by firing everyone exercising free speechā¦
Trump and his cronies are using blatant government coercion to suppress speech they donāt like ā a gross violation of the 1st Amendment. Shame on ABC for caving to political blackmail. We must stand with those who resist the bullies and call out those who appease them. NO KINGS.
Meanwhile, Brian Kilmeade, who advocated killing all homeless people, still has a cushy Fox job.
If anybody has access to the actual #EpsteinFiles, itād be hard to imagine a better time to leak them than right now
Americans exercising their First Amendment rights, and he wants them thrown in jail. Heās not only the worldās biggest wussie, heās utterly un-American.š
āWhoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech.ā -Benjamin Franklin
High energy costs continue to ripple outward in Alaska. It pulls teachers out of classrooms, forces families to leave their homes and communities, hinders economic opportunity, and pushes too many Alaskans into poverty. This cannot be our future.
They want to shut you up. To crush dissent. To end free speech. This is un-American.
Antifa is not an organization. It does not exist. Today, Donald Trump openly and brazenly declared himself a fascist.
Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.
Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
Gawd I hope you are correct. Otherwise democracy is dead.
It is not about Kimmel or what he said. It is about the US government forcing a network to fire someone - no government should have that power. If the network decided this on their own, thatās one thing. But in this case they absolutely did not.
Man, a lot of crazy shit has happened since Epsteinās birthday letter was released a week ago Monday.
Pritzker: What's at stake here is free speech. It's our constitution and our way of life. Do we really want the president intimidating people, organizations to get others fired? People ought to be standing up and speaking out.
A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesnāt 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.
Remind me, what day is the national general strike?
Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.
Donāt let this make you quieter. Get louder.
Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.
Trump just designated āAntifaā as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, āantifaā is short for āantifascistā. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...
Jimmy Kimmel gone because those In power donāt like his speech but those same people say free speech is absolute right.(as long as that speech only hurts people those in power like to hurt.) No more Government of by and for the people. Itās Government against the people. Backlash coming!
WGA Statement on ABCās Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. Thereās no point at which they will say āweāve won, letās enjoy life.ā They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. Theyāre empty without that.

This is precisely why our nation is descending into violence. Because the āpresidentā advocates for it. #FireTrump #shame
A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees itās time to scrap the cap?
Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.
The country is falling behind in clean energy, but McKibben believes a turnaround is possible. He will speak Tuesday night in #Seattle on tour with his new book, Here Comes the Sun.
I recommend everyone watches this
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 ā beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.
This regime is determined to make all our friends and allies turn away from us.
Good morning, @bsky.app. (I love spending a few minutes looking away from the news and the outrage, at photos of oceans, esp, but also lakes, forests, mountains, flowers, birds, animals, anything lovely that isn't a bot...Joy is a necessity. Especially now. Pass it on!) #SeaScrolling. #Breathe.
I think it is horrifying that so many people are honoring the death of a KKK White Supremacist.
Anddddd ā¦. #BreakingNews The USA continues to fall further behind the rest of the world, heading tow to ever higher energy costs and extreme climate impacts. #Losers āļø
Fox News must fire Brian Kilmeade ā and completely and utterly denounce his genocidal beliefs. Now.
I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirkās hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with todayās political mainstream media.
January 6 should have been a deal breaker for everyone. Trump should be in prison for starting a coup.
AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
Can't say it any better...š
Exactly.
Getting lectured on law and order by folks who support a felon president is almost as good as being lectured on the sanctity of life from folks who refuse to vaccinate themselves or their children.
Next month, you might not be allowed to see your doctor on Zoom anymore. Thatās bullshit. Iāve worked on the systems. Iāve read the research. Iāve been a patient. I know how it works, and how it can be better. It is time for Congress to legalize telehealth for good.
Every time he signs one of his dumb proclamations and holds it up to the cameras from now on, everyone's going to be reminded of the Epstein birthday card.
This is what happens when justice serves power instead of people. Banksyās latest piece shows a judge beating a protester. They rushed to throw up barriers to hide it. We need this here because it looks a lot like our own Supreme Court vs. the people.
Theyāre claiming the signature isnāt real but Iām going to remind everyone that 11000+ photographs and videos were removed from Epsteinās properties by the FBI and this is the tip of the fcking iceberg. And I think everyone in the GOP knows it.
š
Letās say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.
Iām not a supporter of life in prison for Treasonous assholes. The appropriate penalty is death.
Hey everyone...LOOK OVER HERE! It's Lt. Col. Bone Spurs declaring war on an American city!!! Does his rough tough cream-puff cosplay make you forget about the EPSTEIN survivors, their lifetime of trauma & their courage to speak the truth in public? Yeah, me neither. #ReleaseTheEPSTEINFilesASAP
This man is not a president. Heās a terrorist dictator. He must be stopped NOW. America itās your choice how. #JustDoIt

āTheyāre taking our jobsā was always a lie. Alabama proved it. Alabama tried a ātoughā immigration law, and it backfired hard. Immigrants fled, crops rotted, and farms collapsed. Americans tried to step in but couldnāt last a day. Theyāre not taking your jobs; theyāre doing the jobs you wonāt do.

Odd, how we live in the Age of Information, but still live in the most ignorant time in American history.

Hey GOP: You are killing the economy with your policies you dumba**es. Who do you think is going to pay your rent and buy your goods after you wreck the economy? The Middle Class literally supports you and your yachting lifestyle and you are crushing us. Wake TF up.
