This man was courageous enough to stand up to Trump and Vance.

So it's important to post this message and photo to 27 million people.

Don't just "like" it -- that only means that YOU'VE seen it.

Postb it, blow it up and get it out there!

I'm old enough to remember when raids like the one "ICE" perpetuated on that apt bldg in Chicago (i.e., Waco, Philly MOVE bomb, Ruby Ridge, etc.)would not only be breaking news in real time and on cable for days, but also lead story on ABC, CBS & NBC newscasts.

Legacy media is an embarrassment. 😳

We need to stop referring to the masked unidentified men and some women brutalizing immigrants and citizens alike as "ICE agents." Truth is we don't know who they are.

While over 750,000 federal workers go unpaid, moms & kids lose WIC, and millions fear losing healthcare, Trump is golfing on our tax dollars.

The predator who shut down the government for power now plays while Americans suffer.

If perception is reality, is there really a government shutdown if legacy media will not cover it with immediacy, gravity, and degree of scrutiny such an event warrants and deserves?

Escalatorgate and Telepromptergate. 2 distractions by MAGA to get you to forget that Trump's speech was unhinged and the ravings of a demented lunatic. Plus the fact that Trump's photographer tripped the sensor that stopped the escalator & the WH is in charge of the teleprompter.

One thing you learn in life is that "speaking truth to power" and practicing integrity is easy when your job, your money, your fame, or your office is not on the line. The hard is speaking truth and practicing integrity when any one of those is on the line. That is the test of who you are.

I said from the jump that Kimmel never said the shooter was MAGA. I heard it the way he meant it: that MAGA is desperately spinning a narrative that the shooter is anything but MAGA. It’s like when I say I don’t trust the source of the texts, people make all kind of assumptions about what I mean.

Wajahat Ali @wajali.bsky.social · 20d

So, Kimmel said nothing wrong and was mocking MAGA. That's it.

ABC's cowardice even worse.

Yesterday, Trump was threatening a reporter. Today, he coerced ABC to kick Kimmel off the air.

He's also suing NYT & WSJ for reporting the truth. And it's not just media: he's threatening private companies, colleges, Congress—everyone.

Enough. NONE OF US should cave. We ALL need to push back.

ABC suspends Jimmy Kimmel's show 'indefinitely' over his Charlie Kirk comments after FCC chair's threats

Out of the 12 People who have died in ICE detention facilities this year, 2 had no criminal record.

BREAKING: another terrible jobs report. The U.S. economy added just 22,000 jobs in August, far below the 75,000 expected. Unemployment ticked up to 4.3%.

Turns out the problem isn’t the BLS Commissioner. It’s Trump’s failed policies.

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check.

In 1965:

-42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now.

-The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now.

-Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.
