Hey @msnownews.bsky.social @CNN
Why are you letting Noems spew such bullshit about Minnesota and Walz. It is because of this that has led to the non stop death threats against he and his whole family. CALL THESE LIARS OUT. DO YOUR JOB

The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice.
As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree.
Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich.
Silencing us impoverishes the whole world.
The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

Fifth Annual Do Re #MeToo // Sexist Songs Reclaimed by Righteous Feminists The 5th Annual Do Re #MeToo concert, a now perennial favorite evening of music, laughter, and exposing sexism in pop music, all to raise money to protect abortion access!

Tickets are going fast, rehearsals are underway, and this year's Do Re #MeToo is going to burn it down!!

Don’t only gerrymander β€œif Republicans do it in Texas.”

What are you, stupid? How much more fucking evidence do you need, shit for brains? They’re doing that and so, so much more.

Go scorched Earth on these fascists or go fuck yourself.

If my taxes don’t pave my roads or fix my bridges or keep my schools open 5 days a week or pay local teachers a living wage or help keep my hospital open or help my neighbor’s kid eat lunch or fund public television or my healthcare…

Why the f’ck should I pay taxes?

Please quit describing the numbers for the over 200 national No Kings rallies in the 10’s of thousands. The numbers are being counted in the millions and you are seriously disrespecting all of those who marched. Do better.

Heartbroken that we've lost an amazing woman, warrior, and huge talent. Jill Sobule gave so much of herself and was a joyous spirit. The first picture is how I will remember her - the second is a small part of the Minneapolis community that adored her. Thank you Jill. β€οΈπŸ§‘πŸ’›πŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ€ŽπŸ’”

Hey @ MSNBC. your chryon that reads β€œthousands protest across nation” shows how out of step you are. The numbers are still coming in but counting in the millions is a much more accurate β€œguess”. Do your job. I watched today hoping for the best, but got the content I expected.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother.
