Oh, honey . . . YOU'RE the serious public safety threat. Just get the fuck out of our lives, you lawless Nazi thugs.

That's the first thing I looked at before allowing the ABC affiliate in Atlanta, Georgia back onto my television. I'm good with them for now.

Health insurance costs are about to rise by a record amount.

This is happening after the seven largest publicly traded health insurance companies reported a combined $71 BILLION in profits in 2024.

Instead of addressing this, Trump is spreading misinformation about Tylenol.

The day will come when all the ReThugs will be faced with a reckoning. We must make them pay the price for their crimes. No leniency.

President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

โ€œIt is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.โ€

๐ŸšจNEW: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.

I have been struck with something. We all mourn the death of Charlie Kirk. It absolutely was pure evil.

But there have been an immense amount of school shootingsโ€ฆ against children.. and the GOP doesnโ€™t show 1/456th of the remorse they demand America shows for Charlie

Swalwell: Thereโ€™s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because youโ€™re going to be in this room answering questions

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

"๐ŸšจTHIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT:

Disney is pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show "indefinitely" because he made some comments about Charlie Kirk. Bending the knee to fascism again?

Fuck you, @Disney cowards.

Pedophilia is the ninth foundational pillar of conservatism. The first eight are hypocrisy, dishonesty, greed, projection, bigotry, arrogance, stupidity, and abuse.

They cry โ€œfree speechโ€ when itโ€™s hate, violence, and lies. But the second we tell the truth or call them out, suddenly weโ€™ve gone too far. That, my friends, is what you call selective outrage.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
