Gavin Newsom is being extraordinarily mean to Donald Trump.

So I just sent him a donation.

What “political” affiliation does a Pride flag represent? Are there no—ahem—gay republicans? I hope this agent sues…

Fired for displaying a pride flag, followed by a citation of the Constitution.

Shoutout to @nicollewallace.bsky.social for not sugar-coating anything and saying on the air that an ICE agent said “fuck them kids” while handcuffing them naked in Chicago after an apartment raid.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

All these articles positing Tilly Norwood as a star and wondering when the first A.I. actor will win an Oscar are being brought to you by the same tech-bro companies who are spending billions to normalize this shit. Ignore. Create. Use your soul. It’s all we have—and it’s all we need to create Art.

“Used to it”? Ma’am are you insane? NO ONE IS “USED TO” this. Try and relate to the average American citizen instead of your current position amongst us. WE WILL NEVER BE USED TO FASCISM.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

but at least we denied the presidency to the woman who couldn't prove she'd worked at McDonald's, so there's that

oh, you didn't think it was going to be this bad? fuck you, you're an idiot

Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social for saying this.

Don't worry. We are not giving up on late night.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

Just thinking about this

I've never been more bone-chilled by anything they've done until this. And I've been chilled, for sure. But this next level BS has me summarily hobbled.

If you ask me, they can no longer call themselves the American Broadcasting Company.

Free Speech (1776-2025)

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the People peacefully to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The United States of America has become an authoritarian state.

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

The countries where comedians can't tell jokes or mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue
