Just remembering what AOC said last night during her live (I’ll paraphrase, “It’s like the Wizard of Oz. Everyone is scared of the big head but behind that are little tiny men with BIG egos…they want us scared! Don’t get scared—that’s what they want! GET ANGRY and then get to work!”

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

It won't just be Colbert. The Daily Show is next.
Colbert was the the highest rated late night show host. The message is: Emmy's, ratings, and name recognition won't save you. You criticize the oligarchs and this administration, your show is done.

Colbert being cancelled should enrage everyone.
We’re witnessing the erosion of free speech and the free press.
Trump’s billionaire oligarch friends already control much of the legacy media.
Many orgs have taken a knee.
If you’re waiting for your “oh shit” moment, this is it.
This is fascism

This is what I’m so worried about
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Terry Moran was the one journalist who had the journalistic integrity to challenge Donald Trump's lies to his face. ABC has now twice bent its knee before the fascist leader. Disney, its networks, studios, and parks do not deserve our patronage or respect. CBS the same. Old mass media is dead.
BREAKING: Terry Moran is out at ABC News. "We are at the end of our agreement with Terry Moran and based on his recent post – which was a clear violation of ABC News policies – we have made the decision to not renew," an ABC spokesperson says.
