CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

Rich white men, use your platform. Don't be such fucking cowards all the fucking time, you have one life to live. How much money do you really need in a lifetime? Christ. How can you just sit there watching young women - especially young women of color - taking every risk, speaking truth to power?
“Trump is using military forces to stop a protest — I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.”
