Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets.

The Supreme Court greenlit Trump’s political prosecutions—even the ones that are illegal.

“The real power that’s been unleashed here is a power to harass.”

"I was the last remaining Black full-time opinion columnist at the Post [...] What happened to me is part of a broader purge of Black voices from academia, business, government, and media — a historical pattern as dangerous as it is shameful — and tragic."

You can’t use race as a factor in college admissions.

But you CAN use race as a pretext to arrest and disappear people.

This Supreme Court ruling is backwards.

NEW: In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases.

“It is inexcusable,” a judge said of the Supreme Court justices. “They don’t have our backs.”

In rare interviews, federal judges criticize Supreme Court's handling of Trump cases

Ten judges tell NBC News the Supreme Court needs to explain its rulings better, with some urging Chief Justice John Roberts to do more to defend the judiciary against external criticism.

One key job of the media is to tell truth to power. Not just journalists, but interviewers, comedians, artists and others. Stephen Colbert did that. This cancellation is political. It’s part of Paramount’s capitulation to Trump. My appetite for CBS and Paramount+ programming is now near zero.
