Jimmy Kimmel Comes Out And Says It: The Real Reason He Doesn’t Like Trump The late night host reveals a deeply personal reason for his dislike of the president.

It’s a spot-on opening monologue:

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

I urge you to support these folks in their battle for democracy and our freedom.

"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." —Justice Sonia Sotomayor

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon & adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did 🩸🩸🩸

'Comedy Is the Relief Valve': How Sarah Silverman Survived Grief and Backlash Comedian Sarah Silverman talks about her new Netflix special, 'PostMortem,' about the deaths of her parents, and shares dark family secrets.

This one from @stephenrodrick on Sarah Silverman has one of the most powerful endings of a profile I’ve ever read. It’s like a Mike Leigh film. Give a read.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive.

In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him.

Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

There used to be a saying in business; you can have it cheap, fast, or good. Pick two.

Here, in the states it’s you can have it unconstitutional, economically disastrous, or cruel. Pick two. Oh what the hell, you can have all three.

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.

But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

I Think Neil Gorsuch Is Lying About a “Religious Freedom” Case Again Why did Gorsuch claim that ‘Pride Puppy’, an alphabet book about a lost dog, introduces kids to bondage and sex workers? Let’s find out!

Neil Gorsuch told some of the most obvious, farcical, easily debunked lies I can remember a justice telling. I promise you could spend an hour trying to guess what he says is a picture of a “sex worker” in a children’s book, and not get anywhere close. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/pride...

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
