Until the names are out there for all to see, there is not a chance that over-entitled people will understand that they cannot indulge their perversions at other peopleโ€™s expense without risking great shame or legal jeopardy.

I wonder why there have not been leaks or media investigations that have uncovered some of these names. So many victims and no one is naming names? I must be missing something.

Trumpโ€™s Campaign to Defund the Artsโ€”and Rewrite History "The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

โ€œAuthoritarians always target art first. They do so, because art and history are enemies of the myths a regime needs to survive." From my new TIME piece on Donald Trumpโ€™s campaign to defund the arts and rewrite our history. The stakes could not be higher.

I was there yesterday and saw the huge stack of ignored public comments. No Repub had even looked at them.

This is the way to protest. Some humor and some ridicule. Thanks.

Iโ€™ve done it. A few slip ups.

I have never understood why local law enforcement, at any level, is not protecting us from masked men. Who tells them to stand by?

This is what has been driving me nuts. So glad to see someone writing about. All the soft wording like: โ€œHeโ€™s acting like an authoritarian,โ€ or โ€œThis is what authoritarians doโ€ or โ€œWe are on the edge of โ€ฆโ€.

Hoping itโ€™s a single
serial killer because 6 different killers on the loose is even more terrifying.

I urge members of the public to remain calm, stay safe, and document what you see with your phones and cameras.

My senior team has also asked legal organizations to support monitoring on the ground.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

Does the propaganda of Sinclair serve the public interest? Where's the investigation there?

For those who don't know, Sinclair Broadcast Group has been working for years, alongside Nexstar, to create an oligarchy in the broadcast television industry.

Sinclair is the 2nd largest TV station operator in the US.

Nexstar has a portfolio almost the same size.

Both are extremist right-wing.
