I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment

"My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Jimmy Kimmel is a great example of how pushback works and also how completely craven Shari Redstone was canceling Colbert

And tell your representative to demand an investigation into government censorship. The threats from FCC Chair Brendan Carr may violate the First Amendment and other federal law, but an attempt to subpoena Carr is being blocked. Let’s turn the heat up on the FCC, ABC/Disney execs and their partners.

Tell the House to investigate government censorship of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

On September 17th, ABC/Disney announced it was indefinitely suspending the late-night TV show host Jimmy Kimmel, supposedly in response to comments in his monologue regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk. However, the events preceding the suspension lay bare the authoritarian bullying and censorship at play. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr, in an appearance on right-wing influencer Benny Johnson’s podcast, threatened to revoke the licenses of any station that aired Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Hours later, one of the largest ABC affiliate conglomerates, Nexstar Media Group, announced its local stations were pulling Kimmel’s show off the air. Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest ABC affiliate group, announced similar action. This appears blatantly unconstitutional—as FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez has explicitly acknowledged. Congress must exercise its oversight authority by launching immediate investigations. Tell your Member of Congress to haul in Brendan Carr, and executives from Disney and ABC’s affiliates to testify under oath about this corrupt crackdown on dissent.

You can also send a message to ABC/Disney that we won’t stand for cowardice and corruption. If you’re canceling Disney services, postponing a vacation to a Disney theme park, or taking some other action in response to their corporate cravenness, be sure to let them know. 👇

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney.

Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

The St Joe County Council had the chance to say to #Hoosiers "yes, we support fair & free elections" but the Republicans on the council showed off their racist views by a 5 to 4 vote, Schaetzle, Rutten, Drake, Figg & Thomas voted it down.

Holy shit…You can’t make this up: a plane is circling Soldier Field before the Bears home opener with a banner that reads—

“HEY ICE, MASKS ARE FOR CUCKS.”

Also the trolling is incredible for those that told us to stop wearing masks during the pandemic.
