In the days since someone said we should kill the homeless and mentally ill, the unhoused have been shot and lynched from trees in multiple states, yet @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy Brian Kilmeade, that someone who said it, still has a job.

The truth Kimmel said which cost him his job:

"We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it."

Yes.

Zohran, please speak out in defense of free speech: Kimmel just got pulled for mildly criticizing the regime.

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live! From the Air ‘Indefinitely’ The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

We held a press conference at union headquarters this morning following Tuesday’s vote by the UFT Delegate Assembly to endorse Zohran Mamdani for New York City mayor. Mamdani addressed the choice members with have to make when voting in the November mayoral election. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

That was a hit piece, pure and simple. So was the follow up article. Dodai Stewart seems happy to do the bidding of right wing billionaires and corrupt sexual predators who want to destroy Zohran's campaign.

Shame on you for your shitty smears of Mamdani.

Your statement is nothing more than useless blather if you don't do everything in your power to stop this idiotic mad rush into another stupid, expensive, deadly and destructive war of choice.

Not sure I agree. In many deep red districts, the member of congress knows that he/she has to survive those wacky far-right gop primaries every 2 years. THAT is the constituency which republican elected officials are most concerned with, after (of course) the obscenely rich who fund their campaigns.

Since 2 March 2025 Israel has prevented the entry of all humanitarian supplies and commercial goods including food, water, medicine and fuel into the occupied Gaza Strip.

Brainwashed social security recipients in lines outside a nearby SSA office are blaming the workers in the office, instead of the doge incels who are responsible for this fuckery, I've been told.
