Imagine spending four decades of your life behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit.

That alone is cruel and unusual punishment.

You finally manage to secure your freedom, only to have ICE immediately grab you and send you to a detention centre.

Justice for Subu.

Let him go.

interesting that justice barrett thinks it's appropriate for a judge to appear on a transparently partisan propaganda network like FNC

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Let it never again be said that a woman with no real reporting experience who fell for a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" cannot be the head of a huge news organization

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Just a thought, but did anyone ever check to make sure the orange demon never had a Gray’s Sports Almanac?

Why didn’t we take the warning back in 1989?

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

We have people in power making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have been continuously disproven.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

And you keep supporting him somehow. Grow a fucking spine, Chuck.

Robert Reich Donald Trump’s New Enemy? Our National Parks

National Park Service officials have removed park signs referencing climate change, slavery, Japanese internment during World War II, and the nation’s treatment of Native Americans.

It’s the latest escalation of Trump’s attacks on our public lands. Watch: https://youtu.be/HS7IJaB5NDc?feature=shared

YouTube video by Robert Reich Why Corporate Media is Bending the Knee

Jimmy Kimmel isn't returning to the airwaves because of "thoughtful conversations" with Disney executives.

He's back because consumers sent Disney a clear message: selling out our fundamental rights is not an acceptable cost of doing business.

Most people signed up for Disney+ with the annual plan when they first came out. That annual plan runs out in November. I feel like many many people are going to continue not subscribing, and they’re gonna lose so much more money in November when that annual plan runs out for so many people

And this is why monopolies are bad, kids.

They’re afraid of losing another several billion in November, when many people’s annual subscriptions run out.

My subscription ends in November, but I canceled it yesterday

Hhhhhhhhhhoooowwww???

There goes the First Amendment.

Welp. 😬🇺🇸

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening.

It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control.

It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

We broke up the banks. We broke up the railroads.
We broke up the steel companies.

We can break up the media conglomerates. We can break up the tech conglomerates.

We've done it before. We can do it again.

Illinois State Senator Karina Villa sprang into action to protect her community from ICE raids, alerting neighbors to their rights and chasing off masked agents. This is how you stand up to authoritarianism. We should all be inspired by Sen. Villa's courage.
