This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important.
An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

What concerns me is not that Democrats will compromise on something like trans athletes--that question is at SCOTUS now and thus beyond their reach anyway. What concerns me is that I hear far more about what rights of mine they're willing to sacrifice and very little about what rights they'll defend
