Hey @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social,I asked Steve Bannon directly if he thinks Miller will now unleash the state on groups that describe ICE as "authoritarian," and he said: "Yes," adding that Miller is "in charge." cc @mcopelov.bsky.social

It got about four minutes during the hours it was happeningβless than Jeff Bezosβs wedding that day.
firmly believe it wasn't what kimmel said about kirk's killer that made dollhands so mad.
it was showing this clip and adding: "He's at the 4th stage of grief, construction ... This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he called a friend. This is how a 4-year-old mourns a goldfish."

Read what Kimmel actually said
Then pledge to boycott at tinyurl.com/dontfeedthefox
Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms.
Collective boycott.
Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.
Republicans are honoring Charlie Kirkβs memory by declaring war on the First AmendmentThe guardians of βfree speechβ sure had a change of heart.

that fox news host still has his job.
BREAKING: ABC has announced it is pulling Jimmy Kimmelβs late-night show off the air βindefinitelyβ to censor the host after comments he made Monday night about the "MAGA gang" doing everything to claim Charlie Kirk's alleged assassin was "anything other than one of them."

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip.
And thatβs why he controls media. No solidarity.
