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.

Subscription cancellations and boycotts are one thing, but it's the advertising revenue.

What if a Target Level Event™️ is aimed at advertisers of ABC/Disney/ESPN shows?

Same thing with Paramount/CBS?

Who's sponsoring the CK tribute airing in place of Kimmel Fri night?

Just asking questions!

What's happening with Jimmy Kimmel is about politics and power.

Meef!! 🩵

If you have friends & family in DC, check in on them.

When the military + local police presence + curfew hit its zenith in DTLA, I got so down.. Familiar spaces & walks were not the same, & at times it felt like my home was not my own.

Community, both near & far, is really important right now.

It’s a wake up call. Are we going to keep capitulating to fascism and crying about how “we’re cooked” or are we going to finally dig deep, find our courage and stand up?

All hail Camille Zapata. What a queen. 👑

In case anyone's confused, yes, slavery was bad.

My reporting has come to the attention of Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney. Here’s the response I provided to the @thedailybeast.bsky.social

Yes, this is how you fight, Governor!

People in Los Angeles have been protesting 24 hours for 2 weeks straight and no news outlet is covering it!

NEWS: Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell, just revealed on CNN that she wrote a letter with her concerns to Deputy AG Blanche — and received no response.

She says neither she nor other survivors have heard a word from the DOJ.

We are very far over the cliff here folks

The truth here is so ever relevant, is so simple and profound. I think I might pop it into my next book. Sharing yet again:

Innocent people don’t pardon criminals to protect themselves.

Congress eliminated public media funding, and the president signed it into law. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

Always be suspicious of “conservatives” loudly proclaiming their Christianity, marriage fidelity, heterosexuality, disgust of pornography, etc. They are just like the commanders in the handmaids tale who put “heathens” on the wall, but hang out at Jezebels.

If you say “I’m fine with immigration as long as it’s legal” or “I came the right way” but you’re not sounding the alarm over this, you’re lying.

A company says an employee was detained by federal agents during an immigration court hearing, despite being here legally with a valid work permit.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

There are actually quite a few undocumented Russians in the US.

Anyone have any videos of ICE forcefully deporting them?

Or just the brown people?

You wouldn’t vacation in Dachau in 1935. Don’t vacation in Florida in 2025.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
