Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Suggestion: A strike of musicians, writers, hosts, actors, lighting, electricians--everyone, shutting down all TV studios, until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated.
This is the kind of action we need, instead of sitting around just waiting to be gutted.

Before he was a Senator, a candidate for President, and our greatest champion in the fight against oligarchy, Bernie Sanders was the four-term Mayor of Burlington, VT.
I sat down with Bernie in Astoria to talk about the lessons he learned—and the work ahead.

CNN is reporting that the suspect who shot Charlie Kirk did so from a university building 200 yards away.
If true, that means he was farther away than the Trump assassin in Pennsylvania and farther away than Lee Harvey Oswald was when he shot Kennedy.

Again, political violence has no place in this country.
I probably don’t agree with Charlie Kirk on a damn thing, but that doesn’t matter - he’s a husband and a father.
This is despicable and can’t become our new normal.
