The words that allegedly got Kimmel canceled:

“The MAGA Gang (is) desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. In between the finger-pointing, there was grieving.”

That's it folks. Our First Amendment rights are gone. The cancelling of Stephen Colbert and now Jimmy Kimmel, it's done.

Thanks Heritage Foundation and Republicans. May you all get explosive diarrhea for life. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

This needs further investigation and exposure!

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

I did not know of @laurarbnsn.bsky.social before today. Glad to have remedied that.

This hunt for collective blame is just so damn predictable.
It's all trans people's fault, and it's all Democrats' fault, and now it's all professors' faults.
But of course it's not all electricians' fault, for the simple reason of "I don't hate electricians."

Somehow the fact that the kid grew up using heavy weaponry is completely irrelevant but the twelve credit hours he took at a public school is the real problem.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us. "Today, the Supreme Court, without offering a single line of reasoning, more or less declared that the Fourth Amendment, which protects everyone from unreasonable searches and seizures, nonetheless allows the Trump Administration to arrest and detain anyone who looks Latino, citizen or not, on account of the language that they speak or the kind of jobs they do. The ruling putatively covers the Los Angeles area, but the effect could be national," he continued.
"If that's not a constitutional crisis, then what is?"

Just saw Fl Surgeon General on TV. Fl legislators need to step up and denounce his no mandates. He admitted to doing no analysis on impact or make plans for disease outbreaks! #vaccines #Florida

Agent: "I'm going to go get your dad—and I'm going to get your mom!"

Witness: "Y'all can't tell him that, though. His mom?"

Jasmine Crocket and Isaiah Martin are the voices of progress for families, not billionaires.

The GOP appealed to prejudice, blaming minorities and immigrants for the world's woes, to hide their fascist ways.

Now that they can't hide, they're resorting to lying, cheating, and stealing.
