Shocking.
Our planet has passed its first 'tipping point' with widespread coral reef die-off, a new report says, and other environmental systems including the Amazon, major ocean currents and ice sheets aren't far behind.

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

In America, we defend free speech in terrible times.

We defend free speech even when it’s offensive.

We defend free speech.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.

Four giants control 80% of meat processing.

A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.

The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

ABC network is owned by Disney Entertainment. I cancelled my Disney subscription and when it asks why - I wrote 'For pulling Jimmy Kimmel, bring him back to ABC and I'll be back.' If you have Disney and/or Hulu please consider doing the same.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

You can never appease a tyrant.

BOYCOTT ABC TELEVISION. MAKE IT CLEAR TO EVERYONE THEY WILL GET THE TARGET TREATMENT.

Jimmy Kimmel deserves better than this. He’s a class act. Case in point - after my first appearance on his show back in 2018, he very thoughtfully asked whether I was receiving adequate security at that time, as Trump was repeatedly smearing journalists as “the enemy of the people,”

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been a cornerstone of American culture for three generations.

One corrupt tyrant gets to decide what is 'un-American' for ~340 million people. We will feel this loss for generations.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting to shut down after being defunded by Congress, targeted by Trump

From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Today in DC, we joined over 20 scientists whose research grants were canceled by the Trump admin. They shared what’s at stake when science is politicized, and what we lose when solutions to our biggest problems are cast aside. #StandUpForScience

Canceled grants get the spotlight at a Capitol Hill 'science fair' On Tuesday, scientists held an event organized by House Democrats in which they stood in front of posters outlining their work — and the federal cuts that now threaten it.

Democrats organized this science fair which spotlighted research which may be canceled due to cuts to grants for science. www.kpbs.org/news/science...
