“All this anti-woke stuff is just anti-Black. Period. Full stop.”
And he’s right. “Anti-woke” was never about ideas, it was a marketing campaign to sanitize racism, roll back progress, and make bigotry sound intellectual.

FCC Chair Carr’s post from 12/30/23: Free speech is the counterweight—it is the check on government control. That is why censorship is the authoritarian’s dream.

It’s Constitution Day. So, of course, Jimmy Kimmel’s show got canceled over comments he made that the administration didn’t like. And DHS Sec’y Noem went on an ICE raid where American citizens were detained. Read on for the update you need tonight: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

What does Jimmy Kimmel really think about Charlie Kirk? His own words:
"Senseless murder."
"A lot of extraordinarily vile responses."
"Some people are cheering this, which is something I won't ever understand."
Why is the FCC is really targeting him?
He went on to make fun of Trump for 10 mins.

The 2024 homicide rate in California is now the second lowest since 1966.
California's public safety investments are delivering real results. Violent Crime: Down 6%. Property Crime: Down 8.4%. Homicides: Down 10.4%. Aggravated Assaults: Down 6.5%. Motor Vehicle Theft: Down 15.2%. Burglary: Down 9.1%. Robbery: Down 6.3%.
News you won't see on Fox News:
➡️ Local data shows crime in California drops in nearly every major crime category.
➡️ The state just recorded the second-lowest homicide rate since 1966.
➡️ Our investments in law enforcement are paying off.
With ICE poised to receive a massive infusion of cash courtesy the Republican spending bill, I figured it was worth documenting what they've been doing with the money they've currently got. Gift link: wapo.st/4lv53Wh

A bar graph. On the left side is a bar showing that Republicans are cutting $930 billion from Medicaid. On the right side is a bar showing that Republicans are giving $910 billion in tax breaks to corporations under their budget bill, paid for by gutting Medicaid.
Republicans may lie about what's in their budget bill but the numbers sure don't.

- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

43% in emissions. That’s the reduction achieved by Helsinki after shutting down its coal-fired power stations. A bold decision, in line with the commitments made under the Paris Agreement in 2015. And Helsinki is not acting alone.

Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.
