While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

It's easy to give into panic and there IS a ton of things to be afraid of right now and in the future

But what I am holding onto is that the truth of the matter is that the current regime is incredibly unpopular and relying on projecting the image of overwhelming power because they don't have it

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’ The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

It’s not about whether you like Kimmel or not. It’s about free speech.

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.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

This is fucking insane, and it seems obvious (to me anyway) that this is much less about Kimmel’s comments about CK, and much more about his ongoing, repeated criticism of trump and the government.

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

Might as well say what you mean with your whole chest and stand ten toes down in it, because no matter how palatable to their heinous beliefs you try and make yourself they're still gonna work to systematically disappear you either way.

Israeli Strike Kills 4 Al Jazeera Journalists, Network Says Anas al-Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted Mr. al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas, which he had denied.

An Israeli strike near a hospital in Gaza City killed four Al Jazeera journalists. Anas al-Sharif, a well-known correspondent, was among those killed. Israel said it had targeted al-Sharif, claiming he worked for Hamas.

When their pastors literally quote Jesus’ words in sermons, American evangelicals complain that they’re talking like pinko commies.

HUH TURNS OUT THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE AND THEY NEED REAL DONATIONS

WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday.

It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever.

I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

Farewell, Andrea Gibson. What an honor to have lived in a world where I could swim parallel to their joy.

I loathe the way people around me speak about addicts. Like yes, sometimes they do things that are bad. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to treat someone struggling as subhuman.

It would be really cool if the Democratic Senate and House minority leaders from New York City stepped up to defend Mamdani from the fascist president threatening him

It's not even just that they're banning trans healthcare, they're banning public funding for any therapy at all for trans people where they "affirm social transition", aka they use your name and pronouns and acknowledge the reality of how you move through the world. No support at all.

The best lightsaber combat since the prequels dropped on this day 1 year ago

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

The New York Times CONTINUES to release piece after piece spreading disinformation on trans care and dancing on the graves of trans youth in the wake of the SCOTUS decision.

Just brought to my attention, from their morning newsletter. Disgusting.

This isn't even their big hit piece today.

Transgender people deserve to dictate our own lives and futures.

No court decision can change who we know we are.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Florida child welfare agency calls ICE on teen migrant in foster care, sparking criticism ‘If this is a policy decision, it is a huge deal.’

"Florida child welfare authorities turned over a 17-year-old foster child to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents... The decision to alert immigration authorities to Henry’s status as an undocumented migrant is at odds with decades of child welfare practice in Florida."

ICE is abducting people off the streets. They are taking people they cannot legally deport and holding them in the basements of federal buildings. They are stealing children. They are taking parents. Stop fucking crying about fucking property damage.
