Stephen Colbert says CBS didn't air interview out of fear of FCC
Colbert kicked off Monday's episode of "The Late Show" by saying that the network's lawyers told him he could not have Texas state Rep. James Talarico on the broadcast.
CBS is Trump TV. Less than two months after CBS News suddenly pulled a report on the regimeβs prison camps, CBS lawyers told Stephen Colbert that he couldnβt air an interview with a Texas Democratic candidate.
This is what complicity looks like.

Today, we mourn a giant in the civil rights movement who left an indelible mark on our politics and our world. All of us in the fight to build a democracy that works for everyone stand on the shoulders of Reverend Jesse Jackson.

They think they have a right to impose their delusions on your kids. They are banking on the fact that liberal parents will be too nice to be as aggressive as MAHA.
Prove them wrong. This should infuriate you and you must make sure your legislators hear that.

Tell the Senate: Not a penny more for ICE brutality | Indivisible
DHS funding runs out today. That means we have real leverage in this fight since a funding bill canβt pass without Democratic votes. Call your Members of Congress and demand they reject any bill that doesnβt stop ICE and CBP terror.

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005.
