Also worth remembering, as we talk about Free Speech, that the first speakers the current administration targeted were those demanding the freedom and safety of the Palestinian people.

A judge orders Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation to Syria or Algeria, @premthakker.bsky.social reports. For now, the activist is protected by an earlier order preventing his deportation while his case proceeds, lawyers say.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law.

That and much more in my new piece:

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse than You Think It Is

Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that her boss’ move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

To everybody who has supported the shows and projects I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of, I owe you a debt of gratitude I’ll never be able to repay, but it will be the joy of my lifetime trying to repay it anyway.

From the bottom of my heart - HELL YEAH!

This bill is a true nightmare - ICE given endless resources to kidnap and imprison, guts Medicaid, thousands of deaths, destroys green energy - call your senator right now and tell them you do not want this bill, ESPECIALLY if they’re a Republican.
