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".

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

In 2018, Robert Redford recalled contracting polio as a child: “it was severe enough to put me in bed for two weeks. And because in those days, polio, before the Salk vaccine was discovered, what hung over your childhood was always the fear of polio because all you saw were people in iron lungs.”
Robert Redford: The 'Fresh Air' Interview
Redford has announced that he's retiring from acting, and that his role in the new film The Old Man and the Gun, will be his last. In 2013, he said it was "sort of weird" being known for his looks.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school.
Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families?
My own colleagues are silent.

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Absolutely correct on Bush and Obama but to be fair to Bono he has been using the press circuit for his new film to speak out against USAID’s destruction. Even went on Rogan to try to combat the misinformation about USAID.
I just don't understand this. George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Bono just recorded videos commending the staff of USAID for their work and lamenting the agency's destruction...
And those videos were not released to the public.

On Monday, I started asking Gov. Kehoe’s office & Mayor Spencer’s office why the Missouri National Guard wasn’t deployed to help clear roads and remove dangerous debris from St. Louis. Kehoe’s office designated a liaison to the city the next day. Today, he activated the Guard.

My parents, both in their 60s, spent all day Friday stopping at every big box store they could to buy up enough supplies to fill this van. Then, they drove from Chicago to deliver tarps, tents, food and supplies to my St. Louis neighbors in need. We need more people like them.
