Where, exactly, does one purchase those very extra long, clearly compensatory, neckties.

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.

We’ve gotten rolled every time. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov : What is the PLAN? Where is the response to #project2025?
I am so tired of the hand wringing and pearl clutching.
How do we stop this slide into white nationalism?

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Agreed.
Respectfully, what’s the plan @warren.senate.gov ?
What is our plan?
Where is the counter to #project2025?
Frankly, we ARE standing by and we are getting rolled.
What is our plan?

Just so everyone is clear, this right here is what an actual violation of the First Amendment looks like. When the head of the FCC says a company needs to do something about someone who displeased the administration or lose its license, that’s no joke unconstitutional

We're 7 months in and Trump and the oligarchs have completely seized control of the media. If you criticize them, your show will be pulled from the air.

This is what dictators do. Fascism isn't coming, it's here.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

My therapist said it isn’t depression, it’s ennui, which is just depression wearing a beret.

Randi Weingarten on Why Fascists Fear Teachers The American Federation of Teachers president discusses her new book, the attacks on public education, and what we can do about it.

So glad I could answer some questions about this book. Teachers are the antidote to the moment we're in. My new book highlights individual stories about how they go above and beyond.

Why would the DOJ scrub the fact that right-wing extremism is the #1 domestic terror threat in America?

Why not acknowledge and confront it?

Also why haven't they released the Epstein Files?

Also why did Ghislaine Maxwell get a sweetheart deal transfer?

These problems won't go away.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Re: #charliekirk - my college freshman asked me not to post anything his friends might see since some of them are fans. My point: the right is doing a better job of connecting w young voters & that is terrifying.
