CBS canceled Colbertโs show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump โ a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

Hey, Politico --
I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone.
Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down.
Defiantly,

My Open Letter to Elon Musk
From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are โundermining civilization.โ This is my response.
I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath.
I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.
Defiantly,
ME

Under fascism, no one is safe.
Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.
Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโs not intellectually superior. Itโs the virus theyโre trying to infect us with. NO

Ten Things We Can All Do to Protect Democracy
From Marc | The most common question I receive is how everyday citizens can help in the fight for democracy.
We will have victories and setbacks, good days and bad. We must understand that this will not be over in one election or with the defeat of any one candidate. This is the fight of our generation, and it will take time. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/10-t...

โCowardice asks the question, โIs it safe?โ Expediency asks the question, โIs it politic?โ But conscience asks the question, โIs it right?โ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.โ

Someone on Twitter writes: "Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay"
The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?
If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.
