Having just spent a few months reading accounts of CBS’ grotesque cowardice during the 1950s McCarthy-era blacklist, it’s nice to see that The Tiffany Network respects its traditions

CBS to Cancel β€˜Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Citing β€˜Financial Decision’ CBS said it planned to cancel Stephen Colbert's Late Show after next season, citing the weakening finances of late night

What a time for CBS to cancel Stephen Colbert’s β€œLate Show” and blame it on a β€œpurely financial decision”: variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Stephen Colbert is a profoundly good and deeply talented man with a great staff and an excellent show. They all deserve better.

Funding cuts to PBS and NPR, attempts to stop the Wall Street Journal from publishing, Colbert canceled.

Do not take a free press for granted. We need to fight for it.

I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.

Yes. Worth watching.

TL;DR Sheriff's office sent out alerts *on Facebook* (for anyone online at 5:30am) but not to cell phones or other real-time alert systems.

Sheriff says he'll look into it.

Thank you for everything you are doing to support your community. People can be horrid, I see it here as well.

This def doesn’t undermine my sense that ICE will struggle to net 10,000 more officers in the years ahead.

The video of the woman driving off the guys at the car wash is impressive too.

And the sort of images that will make the job even less appealing for those who want to act like tough guys.

Stop travelling to America.

It’s not safe & your tourist dollars shouldn’t support fascism

If you’re American, stop going to Florida

They built a concentration camp in 8 days

They’ve opted to kidnap and detain thousands instead of housing the homeless, feeding the hungry & providing healthcare

ICYMI: 9,000 Philadelphia city workers are on strike for the first time in 40 years as they fight for better pay, benefits, and more.

These workers provide essential services for their communities day in and day out. Philadelphia doesn’t run without them.

Solidarity!

Farm workers are being terrorized, imprisoned, and deported without due process. Trump's immigration sweeps unjustly target farm workers, Latinos and other vulnerable communities. This goes against American values. This July 4th weekend, take action and message your Congress Members. Link below. ⬇️

Workers harvesting watermelons

Workers harvesting watermelons

Lettuce tastes great on your #July4 burger or salad. Harvesting it is an extremely difficult job because of the constant bending down and use of sharp tools. As we enjoy our holiday BBQs, let's remember the farm workers who make this meal possible. #WeFeedYou

Jonathan Toews set for NHL comeback with Jets after long COVID
YouTube video by CBC News: The National Jonathan Toews set for NHL comeback with Jets after long COVID

Think long COVID can't affect you or your family?
It affected Jonathon Toews, an elite hockey player.
This is why I continue to try and protect myself against infection

Star Wars actor Kenneth Colley broke his arm, went to the hospital, caught COVID and died.

Why? Because we don’t have mandatory masking or clean air in healthcare.

Infection control has left the building.

I read this news while sitting in the hospital as the lone masker 🧡

Every time I posted about how much my insurance was through the Exchange, people would say, β€œwhat are you talking about? I’m only paying $33 a month.”

Those people are about to find out they were on Medicaid.

hey remember when a rich ceo died then when they caught the suspect they made a circus of it like they found osama bin laden and charged him with terrorism but less than weeks ago two democrat lawmakers and their spouses were shot as literal assassination to shift control and everyone already forgot

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
