State TV’s @seanhannity hilariously claims this isn’t “conservative censorship” — saying none of them called for Kimmel’s cancelation 🤔

Here’s one from back in July, Sean 👇🏽

Now Sinclair wants a Kirk tribute during the Kimmel time slot on ABC, and is calling on Kimmel to donate to turning point USA

The FCC just bullied ABC into indefinitely pulling Kimmel off the air over a joke.

Comedy officially illegal again. But now with the threat of actual state action.

Disney/Lucasfilm makes Andor, a masterclass on resisting authoritarianism, wins an Emmy… then immediately bows to authoritarianism IRL. Unbelievable. #JimmyKimmel #Andor #Hypocrisy #Censorship

If you’re wondering how Republicans are coping with the tragedy in Kerr County Texas, they think Democrats caused it by controlling the weather.

I swear to my lord & savior-the brown-skinned-Jesus Christ they are pushing this conspiracy. SOS.

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.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Oil and gas industry wants to be able to dump highly toxic fracking wastewater—full of benzene and heavy metals, often radioactive—with more abandon, including in rivers and streams, and White House is open to that.

When you assume bad things are always done in secret, it can take much too long to realize proclamations of ill intent are serious.

I think this is the hang-up.
