Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks:

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸
#FuckICE

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

The Pope, Jane Goodall, and the Nobel Peace Prize committee all came out and said MAGA and Trump are trash.

everything is terrible so here's the Muppets channeling Hamilton and bringing me untold joy (via the brilliant brettevansmafrog on insta)

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

The I.C.E. Atrocities Should Be the Final Straw for Decent Human Beings. This should be the final straw for us, America.

What I.C.E. and this Administration are doing to brown-skinned people is a crime.
It’s a sin.
It's inhumane.
It's not pro-life.
It’s not Christian.
It’s not making America great.
It's wrong by any measurement decent people use.
And it’s time we said it.

Please...PLEASE stop referring to the military occupation of American cities and the brutalization of minority communities as "distractions."

This is so indefensibly insane: Speaker Johnson is refusing to seat Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva because she'll be the 218th vote to release the Epstein files. Johnson swore in Rep Walkinshaw (VA) w/in 24 hours.

Johnson is abandoning his job to instead protect a convicted child sex predator

Being on any social media is like seeing a paper bag that says DEAD DOVE on it, opening said bag and being surprised to see a dead dove.

At least people on Bluesky are funny about it.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b

LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Judge rules that federal government violated free speech rights of noncitizens engaged in pro-Palestinian speech

After a nine-day trial, a federal court ruled that Noem and Rubio misused their power to target international students for their protected political speech. When a government retaliates against individuals based on their words, we must ring the alarm bells loudly.

Yesterday people asked why Nexstar and Sinclair caved. The answer is simple: those who tracked which companies were advertising with them made a huge impact. Thanks to those calls, companies began pulling their ad budgets over the Kimmel blackout.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

As soon as the governor signs this illegal bill, Missouri will be sued. I don't bluff and I usually win.

Tyler Robinson much like Luigi is going to have lots of ammunition to fight with in court because of the way the FBI has tried to play this in the media before any facts were known.

YouTube video by Jimmy Kimmel Live Jimmy Kimmel is Back!

Jimmy Kimmel's Monologue now has 14.3 MILLION VIEWS on YouTube.

It would be a shame for you to share it

“With an autocrat, you cannot give an inch,” Colbert said. “If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive.”

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

He’s cancelling comedians because of the Epstein files.

He’s killing South American fisherman because of the Epstein files.

He’s taking away freedom of speech because of the Epstein files.

Those files must be radioactive.

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.

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.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.
