A reminder: anything written on social media goes onto a server. So, please be mindful ... would you say it to a cop or a judge? If not, don't write it here. Also, Trump started calling the work of journalists illegal on Friday. So, we don't have guaranteed free speech in the way we once did.

CBS removing anti Trump comedian Stephen Colbert from the air under pressure from Trump is an extremely serious matter.
This is a direct attack on freedom of the press by the president of the USA.
This cannot be allowed to pass.

“That's why his final monologue about the settlement was so dangerous to CBS's incoming overlords. Colbert didn't just criticize the payment; he named it for what it was.” www.readtpa.com/p/stephen-co...

Even against all of Trump's cascading attacks over the past seven months, it had seemed that up until now, our culture at large—the literal shows, movies, art, music, literature we consume—seemed somewhat siloed from Trump's fury.
But the end of Colbert marks a dark new stage.
